It is cool.

No, you should not buy it. That is a godawful first motorcycle.

Get a early-mid 70s Honda CB anything. They are everywhere, they are cheap, they are indestructable.

Sounds like a project. I would make real sure that all the parts are actually available at the place listed if you're up for camping in the garage with that.

Definitely looks cool, kind of like a Honda Dream.

Which is much more expensive but way more solid.

edit: listen to the vockins

I've never met someone w/ a "bike" who wasn't a born and bred attention whore.

Show me someone who "rides" a "bike" who isn't an attention whore? I dare anyone to try and prove me wrong.

And on that note, a former rider at work sold his motorcycle boots to a coworker, no bites yet on his fucking gay ass duccati

what kind of sad sack buys used boots? i don't understand it

There are a number of folks on this board who have a motorcycle, most of which I would not consider attention-whores, but, then I imagine it depends on your definition.

I am not an "attention whore", and having four bikes in my garage you'd think I was an attention slut, I suppose.

Who buys used boots? Me. Lots of people. What's to not understand?

I wont debate a blanket off base label like attention whore on people I dont know, its impossible to defend my stance, but in my world I have yet to be proven wrong and whenever I tell a friend about someone they sort of know that I discover "rides" the response is always "figures, thats no surprise".

Here is what I don't understand about used boots... they were on someone else's sweaty feet... why would you want them on your feet too?

Zom was the person in question I thought of when I thought about who is not an attention whore that rides.

Also me, but I've only had a bike since Memorial Day, and have never ridden once in my life prior.

Germ is far from attention-seeking too.

Some of us just like to ride motorcycles. Most of my cycle-owning friends are just like me. We just like to ride motorcycles because it's cheap and fun transportation, and/or we like machinery.

I have plenty of used clothing too. I wash it first. As for boots, yes, you clean them first.

So, do you carry around disinfectant before you touch doorknobs, handles, etc? Those are much germier than a pair of boots.

touching doorknobs? ROFL who does that? again I can't defend my baseless sweeping generalization, I can only say that I've never met a Rider who wasnt one.. I have yet to meet them all. I've only known like 20 "riders" in my life so obviously an extremely small sample size.

And nobody rides a motorcycle because its an alt/eco/cheap means of transport, please at least be honest.

You think I sometimes ride a Honda XL250 because I want to be seen? Do you think that the fact that it gets about 75MPG has nothing to do with it?

This past year the amount of small motorcycles and scooters has really risen dramatically around this town. You think they're all egomaniacs? That the expensive parking downtown has nothing to do with it?

You obviously have some weird deep-seated hatred of motorcyclists. You would be best off to not bother looking at motorcycle threads of any sort.
