What do you putt on?

[newbieone]

Hey guys/gals,

Just wondering what you all get around in when you are not riding the GS?  Do you ride another bike?  Do you have any other fun toys?  Do you drive a daily commuter?  

I myself am fortunate enough to have a small selection:

'90 Honda Accord DX- Daily commuter

'96 Nissan Maxima GSE- Sitting at home collecting dust

'75 Chevy C-10- Just a fun truck to have, but sitting at home collecting dust as well


Post up!
Thanks,
Adam



P.S.
I am not posting this to compare or brag, or anything like that, I was just wondering.

My friend has a custom built cannondale something or other. that thing is sweet.... a bit too hardcore for me


which reminds me, i left out my 04 trek 820 mtn bike.   just something fun to ride on occasion    and for exercise

[wasabi_peas]

Um, yes--a bike.  A bicycle bike.  

It's a mix of parts left over from other rides, including bits from one which joined me, for about 100 feet, for a tour of the road underneath a semi truck.  There is something poetic about continuing to ride at least a part of that bike.

I prefer it to cars because it's cheap to run, fun, and helps make a difference in this world.  And for those days where I want to burn dinosaur, the GS ain't bad either.  

That said, and I'm not judging you guys, but am sincerely curious:  Why do y'all have so many motor vehicles?

[SmoothDave]

94 Jeep Cherokee
97 GS500E

With the addition of that bike a few weeks ago, my life is pretty much complete.  Although I'm tempted to pick up one of those Corbin seats and those funky handlebar risers that GSJack has.

'99 Toyota Tacoma (to carry the bike)
And of course... '93 GS500

[gsJack]

We just traded the old 94 Century with 150k+ miles on it for a new 04 Elantra.  It seems kinda lika a 4 wheel GS500.   :lol:  And yes, we do use up cars same as I do bikes before moving on.

'99 Toyota Tacoma (to carry the bike)
And of course... '93 GS500

I have a '97 Subaru Legacy GT, but now I'm starting to think about getting a truck to carry the bike, and for moving around all the time since I'm still a college student.  Also It would be nice to have something to do some offroading with.  The Tacoma is at the top of my list I think because I've seen way too many american cars and trucks sitting in the shop more than they are on the road.  (ie. my friend who just got his second auto trans for his 97 Blazer in under 2 years, among other problems)

I guess now that I have a bike a car just isn't as fun, unless I had the money for something with some power(and the associated insurance).  I will miss the better gas milage and more comfortable ride though.

[chupacabrah]

Um, yes--a bike.  A bicycle bike.  


That said, and I'm not judging you guys, but am sincerely curious:  Why do y'all have so many motor vehicles?

My mountain bike - i have for fun and exercise.  i live too far away from anywhere to ride it for transportation  (and I'm lazy)

My accord - i have because I can't sell it.  It's a good, reliable car, which is good for me when my buick has problems.  like right now, she needs an alternator.  rah.

But, right now at the same time, the accord has a flat.  so somethins not gettin fixed for a while

the accord, I'm still in a loan. the buicks paid for.  

I usually drive the accord to school (40 min drive one way), and the buick to work at night.  now that i have the gs, i'll probably start riding it more to save gas.  

that's why i have so many cars, anyway  

[JLKasper]

...bicycles
Eddie merckx steel motorola rep (road)
bianchi (old, oconverted to fixed single speed road bike)
trek hardtail/hardfork (mountain)
guerciotti (track)
easton custom race bike (road)...

That's a nice eclectic mix, and I'm happy to see all that steel included in it.  

My mounts are all road-oriented:
'98 Cannondale T700 touring/commuter
'91 Trek 1200 epoxied aluminum with CF fork and Ultegra components
'83 Trek 720 tourer (full Reynolds 531) with half-step and granny gearing
'83 Trek 600 (mostly 531), with upgraded components.  Not fast, but good for just about any road riding.  Thinking of a SS freewheel conversion.

2002 gs currently primary transportation
87 Izusu Trooper2  it runs when it wants to which is of course is never when I want to drive it.  I traded my 93 tercel straight across for it.
back home:
80 dodge tradesman 300 I need to finish the motor rebuild if I ever get to go home.  I bought it to pull my datsun
78 Datsun B210 SCCA pro rally car,  race only,  have you ever seen a 25 year old rice rocket with 30 year old tecknology stomp the shaZam! out of a brand new rustang with nos,  it's hillarious.

I had the Lower Merion COunty's K-9 car after they were done with it. It was a '90 crown vic with the police package. It had these HUGE dog decals and K9 all over it. I hated to paint it but had to, to complete the decommision. The back was pretty funky for awhile. I loved the car though. Pretty fast , very menacing on the highway, people just got out of my way.  
It got like 7 mpg.
