  1. See, my wife won't let me start another one because she hates the idea of me spending money on another bike. Whatever.

    for us it is more of a space issue. Our Garage now is small and is taken up by my GTI. And my current motorcycle (which I don't really care that much about) is in my carport with my wife's car. Once we have a 2 car garage and a driveway things will be different.

  2. I wish but not this time around. In a couple years I will.

    That is where I am at right now. I think I am going to sell my bike in the spring and hopefully have a new project next fall. I promised my wife I would not start on anything new until we buy a place to live.

  3. Would a 2001 Ducati Monster 600 be a good first starter bike?

    Might have the opportunity to purchase one locally and thought I'd ask around. FYI, ther owner's asking $3000, it has ~8500 miles, 6k mile service completed last year, and a few misc. mods. TIA.

    Not a bad starter bike that is for sure. Are you into Ducati's or the style of the monster. If you are into the style I would say a Suzuki SV650 would be a better starter. Just my opinion. If you are planning on doing your own work the Suzuki IMO is an easier bike to work on and if you are planning on having someone else do the maintenance then the Suzuki will save you some money.

    If money is not an issue than HELL yeah the Monster is a great bike!

  4. dont sell the s50 because that horsepower will absolutely keep you happy for long enough so that when you want more power you'll have saved enough to turbo

    I don't think I will ever turbo the bimmer. I have other stuff that I would turbo first. I was set on the S50. I drove my buddies and it was crazy fast but then he made a HUGE mistake...he said, "Xander, if I could do it all over again...I would do an S54, yeah it's fast the way it is but after awhile you just get used to the power."
