I have terrible news. The graduate program I applied to ACCEPTED me. So now I have to...
1) Tune up and then sell my car
2) Put my K&N filler on, rejet, put the new bars and grips on the GS
3) Quit my well-paying job
4) Find a decent-paying job
5) Take the free '98 Volvo from my mom (reward for getting into grad school)
6) Possibly move back home (I moved 1 mile from where I grew up, so I can walk my shaZam! home)
I am f%$king ecstatic right now. And the best part is that I have a free car and a GS to go with it. What else do I need?
I'm leaving my tenure as an assistant controller to be a teacher. Wish me well...
Cool.... my sister just got accepted to a doctoral program at Ball State( where she is completing her masters). If you can handle your parents moving home isnt such a bad idea if it will save you money. Good Luck!!!!!! And yes she is a total over achiever and she is taller than me which totally sucks.....

My mom is cool as shaZam!. I was out on a date tonight and she called and told me I had 2 letters from Pacific, so I was already excited. Then she called back and said she held the letter up to the light and could read the letter...I told her to stop right there.
So I'm on a date and am nervous already and finally called it a night. I go to my mom's house (where I get my mail) and she's trying to sit me down, saying "you'll find a good program that wants you..." and all that. So I open the letter, and I'm in!
We had keggers there when I was 18 (under her radar), so I think I can survive.
Thanks. f%$k, I am so pumped!

Best wishes! Can't say I blame you; I'm an internal auditor and the monotony really gets to me some times. What are you going to teach? I hope the school districts are better in OR, teachers don't make squat here in Texas. My mother has a masters in education and makes less than I do, with no college degree.

Congrats! Pacific! That's cool. I remember when I got accepted into grad school. I got an acceptance letter from one school (UMKC) the day I left for spring break in Padre Island. I was pumped all week. Running around naked. Then I get back and I had another acceptance letter from a much better school (Mizzou). Needless to say, I went on another bender.
And then went to Mizzou!
congrats on the grad-school acceptance. :thumb:
Don't work too hard ;)
Congradulations!
Maybe Rvertigo will take the job you're vacating.
Apparently someone was drinking last night (me). Thanks for the comments guys, I really appreciate it.
If I keep drinking on weeknights and showing up to work 3 hours late, #3 on my list of tasks will be easier than I anticipated. Wink.

Help me out here, if you would. So my mom and I have been discussing ways to pay for my year in the program. Although I should get some aid to pay for the tuition part, there are still bills in the form of monthly living expenses, and we aren't sure yet how much I'm gonna be able to work, on top of classes. So I'm minimizing bills.
One thing we talked about was me selling my car, which would save me 300 a month. Great, I hate that car anyways. So then she's either gonna give me her volvo or possibly pay for my brother, a BMW mechanic-in-training, and his coworkers to get my 1981 320i into safe driving condition. Then she would keep the volvo and help pay my living expenses with the money should would have paid towards a new car. I know, I'm really grateful to her for even offering to help like this.
My next biggest bill after the car and rent payments is the GS. I still owe $2K on it, so I pay about 150 a month. So, while I would hate to get rid of it, I have an idea that I need advice on.
My idea is to sell the GS for about 4500 or so, and pay off my loan. I would then have 2500 to buy another bike. So I want something like the GS (cheap and easy to work on, cheap to insure, great mpg, etc), and I could either buy an older GS (I'd miss the F, but I still like the E's), or something a little bigger but still close to the GS (suggestions?). Any thoughts here? I'm trying to keep my expenses down, so low cost to maintain (even if it means a fair amount of wrenching by me) is optimal. While I could get an older CBR or GSX-R to make the step up at the same time, I'd rather not if that involves more money on maintenance and such. So if I need to get another GS until I can afford a newer, nicer bike and then sell the GS for what I paid for it, I'm just as happy with that.
Any thoughts? Thanks guys.
Dave
Buy another GS. You should be able to find an E in great shape for $2500.

That's kinda what I'm thinking. Davidpu was just selling his in my area for around $2000, although that may be a goner by now. But what I'm hoping to hear is that this is a good idea to sell my newer GS for an older one, thus saving money but also being able to keep a beloved GS in the fam. Granted, I won't know shiat about it's prior care (I'm the original owner of mine), but it would have to be really f%&ked with to be in bad shape.
So you're thinking this is the way to go, Aaron. Anyone else concur? Sorry, I'm just really overwhelmed with the fact that school starts in 2 months and I have to go from living like an accountant to living like a student so fast. I need advice, and I trust it coming from (most) people here! Thank you all.
Dave
The E models are sexier anyways.
Think about it this way: school should be your number one priority. That is what is taking you places in life. You're also going to still have a bike, even if it is a little older. Plus, it's a GS, which makes it all the better.
I say go for it. You need to pay for school and expenses first, if that means selling the bike and getting a cheaper one, well, then that's what needs to be done. Thing about the GS is that it hasn't changed much so you wouldn't have to reaquaint yourself with it.
Go for it.
Well coming from 2 guys whose opinions I really respect (even if I shouldn't...wink), I guess I'm gonna be selling the GS. So before I do, I'm going to take it to the dealer and have them check the knocking while I'm still under warranty. After that, it's going in the paper. I'm thinking about putting it in at $4500. It is pretty stock, and the mods I have done are all for looks: total fender elimination, black windscreen, short front signals, rear signal integrator, and such). 4500 miles probably by the time it goes in the paper. Never down, always stored in covered area under bike cover. Few chips from rocks and all that in the front lower fairings, and the stickers on the tail had a little paint rubbed off from using bungees. Other than that, it's a gem. Those are all small items, in my eye. Rock chips happen.
I have a K&N lunchbox on the way, as well as new bars and grips at home, plus that R6 taillight. I'll keep all this for my next GS. And I'm getting the valve kit soon, so those will be all done for the new buyer.
Sound good, guys? I just hope there's very little down time between the sale and purchase of the other bike.
Dave
Sounds good, Dave. Keep the fun parts for the new bike, as they'll work on either. Hell, if you get one of the old styles you could probably fab up a GSX-R 750 tail to make it all racey like!

This is the hardest thing ever. I'm getting sad just thinking about someone else rubbing their crotch all over her saddle. Well, at least I have great memories and have learned so much on her. Now to find another one for sale near here. God, is school really worth it? Of course it is, but still...
Speaking of, there's a hot GSX-R for sale on craigslist. It's got sweet purple and blue paint, just like a bike from 1992 should. However, I'm trying to keep the cost of ownership down, so I'm gonna have to let someone else ride that purple beauty into the sunset. Pandy? Wink.
Thanks guys, I'll let you know what happens. And let me know if you spy any good deals on a GS.

Yeah, I'm on CL everyday looking for bikes just for fun, so now it's gonna be more serious. This is sad, man. I am gonna have a hard time. But then again, it's always been a dream of mine to have a hot girl and then her older sister, so I guess this is as close to it as I'm ever gonna get. Wink.
My friend, who's a miser and hoards every cent she has, is gonna spot me 2 grand to pay off the loan and get the title in my hand, making a sale that much easier. shaZam!, it's all worth it so I don't have to pack my bags and move in with my family again.
why/how did you change your name to "My name is dave"?
Quote from: pantablo on April 24, 2006, 11:45:48 PM

How did I? I went into my account settings and changed my display name. Am I not supposed to be able to do that?
I think it's kind of a funny name, now that I look at it. Everyone was calling me PDX or Portland, and I wanted to try to make my name show up so people could call me by it. I was trying to make it so I still had that PDX username but the "my name is dave" thing would show up under it or something. I have no idea. Could somebody get me a Tab though? All this computer hacking is making me thirsty...
Ok, so just a little update...
Last night my friend gave me that loan to pay off my GS and get the title so I can sell it. But I wrestled with the thought of it all night, and did a little work on my finances this morning. When my car is sold and the insurance is taken off, my monthly bills are down to $800, and that includes the GS payment. So I could work just a little to make some money, plus the money my mom is gonna give me to help with bills, plus financial aid...I think I can do this and stil hold on to the one thing I can't go without- my GS.
So for $800 I can still live in the house I'm at now, keep my GS (although I'm gonna be driving a hooptie when I sell my car, but I'm over it), and can go to school and not have to work insane hours. This might work!
Dave

No, I can't even imagine. People were in shock when I said I was gonna sell it, because everyone knows how much I love that bike. A few people even offered to give me some money to help pay it off so I can keep it. :laugh: Obsess much, Dave?
I'm willing to move back in with my mom if it means keeping my bike. Stupid? No, I say passionate. :thumb:
Dave :cheers:
OK, quick question. So my mom and I talked last night about school, and the program's $25K for a year and is very intense. So I really won't be able to work at the same time, and I'd rather not pile living expenses into that debt and make it closer to $40K by the time I leave Pacific. So it's an all-out streamlining of my finances, including me moving home in a month. Now I'm going to hold onto the GS until I absolutely have to sell it. So if I am to sell it...
Are the other good bikes for $2K I should look into? To be honest, I see GS' here for sale about as often as I see naked models laying in my bed. And I'd rather not sit around witing all summer for one to pop up (but wnough about the models...), so I want to have a few options JUST IN CASE I have to sell my little lady.
So what's a good bike in that general price range that won't take more time to fix than ride? Something economical and fun at the same time. I see old GSX-R's and CBR's (first or early second gens) for sale at a little over $2K, and I like those a lot. But I wouldn't get one if it meant a lot of time under the wrench. What about old Honda CB's? I see the occasional CB350 cafe racer around here for a little over $1K. I even like Srinath's VX800, but he lives way the hell out in like Europe or something. That's too far away.
Basically, I want to ride. While the twisties are my favorites, just riding to and from work is exciting for me. So it need not be a perfect replacement for the GS, so long as it runs and runs well. I do like the old sportbikes, like I said, but I wouldn't get one if it was highly recommended against.
Just for example's sake, here's an old 750 I found with a quick search. Higher than I can spend, but bargaining never hurt: http://portland.craigslist.org/mcy/153910732.html
Also an old CBR, just for another example:
http://seattle.craigslist.org/mcy/152933859.html
And an old CB360:

The CBR is your best bet at this point. The fact that the 750 needs a tune-up, could hide other problems. And, the CB360 has points ignition. Have you ever heard of points? If you haven't,
definitely DO NOT get this, or any other bike that has points!!

Have I heard of points? Well how dare you, how old do you think I am? Well, I'm 26, so I suppose you're right, but I taught myself how to work on cars on my '74 Super Beetle and I have an '81 Honda scooter, so I know points. But I could avoid them if need be.
So Scratch, you see my point, right? While I would love another GS, it may not be feasible and thus I have to look at other options. The depression of moving home will be great enough, so I need a bike to cure that.
The bikes I posted were merely quick examples of what's out there, not bikes that I'm looking at right now. So let me know if there are better options. I want sporty, but can handle anything. So if one of the old sportbikes is known for reliability and another is known for problems (early Interceptors come to mind, if I remember right), that's what I need to know. That will help me out soooooo much.
Thanks guys. I know the "need advice for next bike" topic has been beaten to death, but I think this is a different situation as I'm getting retrofitted, and thus warrants discussion.
Thanks guys and gals.

My appologies, Dave. :cheers: I guess I'm getting old(er)(38), and crotchety. Sorry.

Sure, I would love for you to look at craigslist for me in those 2 markets. I'm not buying right now, but it will be very soon if it happens and I'd like to see what you have to say about what's out there currently. I started this thread, and I have no problem with you posting your findings here so I and the others can see and discuss.
Thanks Scratch, I really appreciate it!

I'm not too picky, really. But I'll do what I can:
Price: $0-$2500
Age: Any. In my price range, I'd expect to see the first and some early second generations of sportbikes. I love the first-gen CBR Hurricanes and GSX-Rs, but that's just me. Anything newer than '93 for under $2500 is probably wrecked or has a blown motor.
Mileage: Not important, but should be considered along with type of bike. A '91 CBR with 40K on the clock is a lot different than a '91 GS with the same mileage; the GS is still a baby, while the CBR is older than you, Scratch ;)
Models: Again, I'm open. But if I had to...
Suzuki
Honda
Yamaha
Kawasaki
In the end, something sporty and under $2500 is what counts. No massive SuperSports (Hurricane 1000 and the like) please. 600 is great, 750 will be considered.
Man, thanks so much. If I do need to sell and you have found a good replacement for my baby, I will seriously owe you.

This was the middleweight sportbike to own. All four air-cooled cylinders and shaft drive. It looks all original, 'cept the seat.
http://portland.craigslist.org/mcy/154656070.html
Hmm...just your age...and it has electronic ignition (http://portland.craigslist.org/mcy/154055380.html see, told ya).
http://portland.craigslist.org/mcy/154580197.html
Needs a special carb balancing tool, 'bout $18-50 depending where you get it.
http://portland.craigslist.org/mcy/154518290.html
HOOOOO!! Here's a fun one! BTW, they didn't make 'em in '86; they stopped makin' the 500 in '85.

I wouldn't do this to ya. It's a SeCa, not a Sega; named for Kenny Robert's win at Laguna Seca. Creamed tank is what scares me, that and 10yrs storage.
http://portland.craigslist.org/mcy/154311104.html
Dream come true. This was my first motorcycle, without the backrest. 47 degree lean angles. Fastest production 650 for it's year (even faster than the 650 Seca!).

Giving old people shaZam! is my hobby. Ask my mom about that (she's 56, which is like Devonian to me).
I like the Yami 650 and the Interceptor a lot. I actually looked at the first 2 you posted (Yami 650 and GS 850) and liked them. I'd pass on the Maxim. The Interceptor is sweet though. I thought I read somewhere about big problems with early ones though. Mayber that was the VFR-800. I can't recall now.
I could put some different bars and such on the GS850 and make it sportier, couldn't I? Just curious...
shaZam!, that Interceptor is really tempting. I'll have to keep that in mind. But the fact of the matter is that there are good options out there, which makes me happy.
Thanks. I will let you know what I end up doing. And at that point, we can go for round 2 of bike-hunting.
Dave :cheers:
Honestly, don't get the older GS's, because they use a paper gasket for the valve cover, which means you will have to replace that gasket every time you do a valve adjustment; and that's a major pain in the a$$ and very time consuming. Unless you enjoy scraping gasket.
The early 500's and 750 VFR's had crank bearing issues, '83-84. Should have been recified through recalls.
Also, see previous my post above for a few more, I modified it.

You rule. I love me a GS E.
Dave :cheers:
There's a '92 GS in Camaro Green in Austin for $1200 right now. Come on down and get it!
As for the Interceptor.... *DROOL* Those things look so cool. Attractive bike, classic looks, V4 power... yeah.

Yeah, so are you all caught up? I'm fighting as long as I can, but as I have to move home, I also will probably need to sell my girl. f%$k, I hate this.
But that Interceptor is hot like fire. I really like it. As well as some of the other bikes he's posted.
Scratch is making this nightmare a little easier to handle. I owe him.

I wanted that exact GSX-R750 but it looks like more of a project than anything. I'm thinking it's been down.
But those old ones with the dual headlamps like that and the HUGE tails...so sweet.
I talked to Davipu on the phone today, he's been working...he still has a gs if youre interested PM me so you can call him.

Um, that CBR is EXACTLY what I want. Those huge bodies on the F2's are so badass. Man alive, that's such a sweet bike.
I'm gonna have Pastrami talk to a certain ex-forum-member about his GS for sale locally. I'm still debating though if I want to get an older 600 anyways while I'm buying something. I'm still not sure, but it has been a consideration for a while to get a 600.
Thanks again Scratch.
Did I already show you this one?

Someone loves Seca's. You're not Kenny Edwards, are you?
I saw those, but thanks for reposting. I like the grey one a lot.
