Well, on the one hand, the E21 is loving rad, so good job there. On the other, you are thinking of selling your DRZ, and I feel a human should keep a trusty thumper around at all times.

Sell all your worldly possessions except for the DRZ, my child.

I broke my "no toy cars" rule that I've obeyed for the last 5 years and traded a really lovely Fireblade for a cheap BMW E21. Now I have this loving car to deal with and I'm considering moving back across the country and I'm trying to decide if I should just sell all my vehicles and drive the truck or buy a new (used) trailer to haul it home.

The general contactor I've been working with lost their main source of contracts so I haven't worked in a while and I'm freaking out about adding to my debt. I also can't decide if I should sell my DRZ and YZ125 or keep one or both. Don't try to read these things like there is a logical sequence, because there isn't.

I'm losing my loving mind

Cheap E21 eh? Check your rear guards and door jambs and door frames and taillight area and report back.

I used to own a 320i :allears: It had over 200,000 miles on it and it burned oil pretty bad, but it was a hell of a lot of fun.

Best of luck!

I've been thinking I'm overdue for some more mushrooms/LSD but I don't know anyone here yet. Wondering if maybe it's time for good ol' DMT. I mean I know that the real answer to my problems is roughly a dozen more motorcycles.

Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.

Yes. There's one for sale for $3100 that has been up for awhile on BARF you could probably get it for $2500 if you showed up with cash dollars.

Can we kill this myth that DRZ's are awesome bikes for anyone other than a learner or a masochist with a burning wallet? A husky 610 is a vastly superior motorcycle in basically every way except sheer tractory shittyness.

My cousin has started getting into motorcycling and he's such a squid it hurts. Bought a GSXR and then three weeks later asks me if he should trade it for a Hayabusa (a horribly hosed up one at that from the pictures) because he feels like his bike doesn't have enough power.

Didn't take a safety course but afaik wears a helmet, so hopefully he doesn't kill himself.


Today I got a text from his mom saying they were with him in the ER after an accident with his motorcycle, so I thought he crashed it already.


Nope, he decided to clean the chain with the bike in gear and the sprocket claimed the flesh off his index finger.


Part of me feels bad because he's family and a rider too but Jesus I always wondered who would be dumb enough to clean the chain with the engine running and it turns out the answer is my family.

Everyone has at least one family member that makes you question if someone pissed in your gene pool. Some of us have several.

Side note on the "at least he wears a helmet" thing: had a brief discussion about bikes at lunch with a customer this week, when I noticed he wore an HD-branded jacket into the restaurant . Mentioned I was looking for a new summer jacket, and he mentioned he wore a vest and chaps in the summer, but not wearing a helmet kept him cool.

Leathers + no helmet? "Yeah, the leathers will at least make sure my wife can have an open casket at the funeral"

I guess the motor company has invented a leather vest that will automatically deploy itself over your face if you ever get in an accident.

I know a guy whose nickname is Stumpy, because he is missing the end of his index finger down to the first knuckle and the tip of his middle finger due to doing exactly this. I choose not to ride with him.

I don't understand how you could possibly clean the chain with the bike running and in gear, unless you were holding the clutch in as you were cleaning? Or maybe more likely he had it in neutral and knocked it into gear?

You put the bike on a rear stand and then start it and hold a cloth to it while the engine turns it.
