"Triumph Thruxton 900. Its a Cafe Racer throwback and the price isn't too bad. Opinions? "

i rode that little bastard last friday and it was great. i'm not used to the sport bike style lean it has but it was fun. slow driving and stop and go hurt my arms and but at speed it was nice. i plan on getting one within the year. i think the bike is really cool and i like the cafe racer mindset

I already signed up for the safety course at wake tech for the summer.

4/10/2005 9:23:01 PM

how does my bike look you guys, do u like it? chech my profile for picts. '97 gsxr, flawless and i got it for 3k (yeah i know a lil high) 15k miles.

4/10/2005 11:43:17 PM

looks nice, kinda old though ... 3k for that high miles

4/10/2005 11:55:02 PM

15k isnt that much, besides i couldnt find any gsxr's for any cheaper and there werent any major changes. i kbb.com'd it for 4000, and that's if it had 25k and not 15k.

4/10/2005 11:56:17 PM

^^thx for the looks nice though , im going to have to get used to the purple ..

4/10/2005 11:56:47 PM

3k isnt much for that gixxer. you'd be hard pressed to find anything 95 and up in the triangle area for that kind of money, and there gixxers are some of the best used 600 you can get (especially the 98-00 models) for your money

Specs:

1978 Honda Goldwing 1000cc
30,000 road miles
red tank and side covers
white full faring
white hard shell saddle back
white hard shell truck
custom gel filled seats
touring pegs
radio
cruise control
floor boards
air shocks &n bsp;
dual cb antennas



Dad bought this bike new in '78. He and mom did a LOT of traveling to Florida, Vegas, Montana, etc.
In ' 89 he was in an accident on his work truck, which prevented him from riding anymore.
The bike has not be run in about 8 years. It has NEVER been laid down and has been sitting in the garage
covered up since the accident.
The bike is in very good condition and was running fine when he stopped riding it. I'm sure all the fluids
would have to be replaced and the gas tanks and carbs cleaned.

I have digital pics if you'll email or call me.

thanks mang^

4/11/2005 8:29:23 AM

got the bike today... it's schhhhhawweeet, it was dropped on the right side but u cant really see it bc it's such a dark bike . i brought it up to 5k and i felt like i was fucking flying.. haha i was only going 20.. but it was a good first ride all in all, no drops no close calls either.

i need to get the bike a tuneup sometimes it lags and sometimes the throttle sticks, or when it revs up a lil it will stay there for a while sometimes like 10 secs..

4/12/2005 2:41:03 AM

yeah, i would def say you need to rectify that

4/12/2005 7:59:44 AM

oh ill rectify it alright... 8====>

4/13/2005 3:04:11 PM

^^^How much did the f2 cost? Condition, mileage, etc? I'm trying to still get a feeler for prices...
Thanks,
Jon

4/13/2005 3:08:25 PM

^^shit, we ride everyday, and most of my homeboys will be here for the summer school.
as far as two-strockes go, someone at state has a 50 cc aprilia two stroke that looks like it would be fun. still, it sounds like a weedeater

[Edited on April 13, 2005 at 3:14 PM. Reason : .]

4/13/2005 3:13:51 PM

I'm still sorta negociating the price but somewhere in the 2500 range. The bike is in pretty good condition, maybe one or two scratches, about 13,000 miles. Works really good. It was the guy's first bike too, so I don't feel like i'm jumping the learning curve too much. Atleast I've driven dirt bikes before but 80cc is totally different than 600, that an its on a much bigger bike. Was overwhelmed a bit of how big it was compared to the pic (looked small), but it fits pretty nice. The guy had to get rid of it cause he got into more of touring, that and his belly kept hitting the gas tank.

4/13/2005 3:17:14 PM

keep it in a storage box thing

4/13/2005 3:56:57 PM

do guys pay for summer storage? like 20 a month or something? i have some extra space and could possibly do it for some bikes...

4/13/2005 4:13:44 PM

my bike is fresh out of the shop from being serviced


too bad the weather is shitty


but I'll still sell it

4/13/2005 4:24:26 PM

I so want to rip the motorcycle one day through tucker hall. haha. at 4 in the morning.

4/13/2005 4:25:11 PM

4/13/2005 4:31:08 PM

4/13/2005 5:09:05 PM

saw a suzuki in the newspaper 4 2500 in classified section the other day

4/13/2005 5:24:30 PM

What motorcycle insurance do you all have? Whats a good cheap one for just liabilities? I looked at progressive and I was quoted for 311 bucks for 12 months, which isn't too bad.

4/14/2005 4:07:04 PM

nationwide
is on my side

4/15/2005 1:37:32 AM

What motorcycles have the best gas mileage?

4/15/2005 2:19:08 AM

fuck nationwide, they screwed my parents. They are not on your side. geico is good and the villagers rejoice

4/15/2005 10:01:02 AM

i thought about geico

but really, we've got a good relationship with our agent, and its hella cheap

4/15/2005 2:02:20 PM

76 per 6 months for me. woot

4/15/2005 4:00:39 PM

ha, mine is right at 72

4/15/2005 4:01:39 PM

geico doesnt offer bike insurance in NC according to their site. with my 2 accidents its still only $579.49 for 12 months for me. oh yeah, I'm getting a bike today

[Edited on April 15, 2005 at 4:06 PM. Reason : full coverage with collision 100k/300k]

4/15/2005 4:05:38 PM

whatk ind of bike ^

4/15/2005 4:07:45 PM

So I've been interested in getting a motorcycle lately, seems like a hella good time. I know I need insurance and a special licence, but where are good places to take classes? I'm also looking to spend around $1500 for a motorcycle to just have fun riding around on weekends, nothing fancy.

4/15/2005 4:11:44 PM

^^^yes it does, call them

looks like everyone is wheelin and dealin

good shit

4/15/2005 6:49:52 PM

I want to know how you guys are getting insurance. I got a quote online for a honda CBR 600, and Progressive quoted me $5k per year. That's twice what the bike was. Maybe I'm just not looking in the right places.

Jeff

4/15/2005 9:15:23 PM

CALL 'EM!
lazy basterds.
and ask for liability only.
minimum required by law.

4/15/2005 9:55:38 PM

of course you have to have the title in hand for that

if you have a loan on your bike (which is just stupid) then yes, you do have to pay a lot lot more for insurance
