Becoming a redneck… or something.
Well I sold the 240SX last week. This weekend after I corner work at ECR and replace the seals on my forks I am going to go look at and probably buy a truck. “A truck, WTF?” I know, right. I am buying it mostly for track days, partially for something that is going to take the brunt of my non motorcycle commuting miles, partially because its a diesel which is bad ass if you ask me. I mean what kind of unleaded petroleum vehicle is going to get a 650 mile fuel tank range?, and should make moving easier in the future.
I am going to have a GM ASE certified mechanic at my disposal while I check out the truck and pretty much base my discussion on his opinion of the truck. And as always with most of my purchases I believe I am getting an awesome deal, which hopefully offsets the huge 72.66% loss I took on the 240. My goal of this truck is to be more turn key reliable than the Saturn. Which I think the Saturn has only been a by-chance reliable vehicle.
240SX has been sold.
to a Viet family, as were the original owners. I hope they have as much fun in the car as I did. I wish them the best on that journey.
I’ve joined the club.
That is the club: “those who have fell down on a motorcycle.”
Earlier this week I wrecked the motorcycle going North on 820 by dragging my bars against a car that moved over further than I had anticipated. AND no I was not splitting lanes or more commonly referred to as “going in-between cars” by the non-moto population.
I believe I hit the pavement going approximately 70MPH. I rode away on the bike from the incident with deep tissue damage on my calf but my skin and bones were intact. I actually submitted myself to the ER.
I’m in awe from the incident.
Wear your leathers, helmet, boots, and gloves! In my opinion my gear without a doubt contributed to me not getting rashed up or worse. My leather jacket is actually trashed, as in I wouldn’t feel safe crashing in it again. I fell on course wavy concrete, think cheese shredder. A mesh jacket would of impacted and from there it would of been a nasty mess. I actually went to work the next day.
I am really amazed…
