thinking about getting away from bikes entirely for awhile
It seems like lately I'm really losing enthusiasm for older bikes that need lots of work, and its becoming clearer and clearer that my 750 wont ever be registered because I dont have the enthusiasm or energy to get it on the road.
I'm thinking about just completely leaving the riding world for awhile and buying a brand new fuel injected bike when funding permits, seeing as I want a motard anyhow, its only rational. Besides this, Right now, I'm wanting extra money to buy the samurai for a toy, and have some extra funds to finish putting my truck on the road, since its literally only needing registration and a tag now. |

Buy a DRZ and motard it!
 to be honest I never understood the motard craze... until I got my DRZ... fuck this would be a killer bike if it had 50-60hp (they make big bore kits to make it 50-60hp and stock reliable) |

The motard will be later when I have a job and money, neither of which I have presently, so I'm going to have to sacrifice something to get my pickup road legal. I'm fucking SICK of walking bicycling and buses to get me where I need to go. SICK of it.

dude you need reliable transport first in order to secure a job.
sounds like you have a solid plan. get the truck up and going. give bikes a brake for a bit you might enjoy it more when you get the chance to return on your terms. |

sounds like you have your priorities straight - do what feels right.

I hear ya on old bikes.
Screw carbs. I'm looking forward to a fuel injected bike in my garage. Do you just have the CB or do you have a collection of "work in progress" bikes sitting around?

I agree. Get something more modern like an 80's bike.
