How would you spend $200.00
« on: May 24, 2011, 08:21:30 AM »
So, if someone handed you $200.00 what would you buy for your ride?  ???

I know there are a gazillion different ideas floating around out there, so let me hear them.

At the moment my thoughts are on a 4 into 2 exhaust system, but I know I'd have to throw in my own loot.

I look forward to your replys.

Welllll I just spent 250 on new progressives in the back, new 530 chain and sprockets, fresh pod filters, a clutch cable, and front brake pads.  If you've got ANYTHING maintenance related that needs attention, do that first.  Otherwise, I would get a nice little quarter/cafe fairing, or maybe some nice nylon saddlebags for those long rides.

Being in need of new tires, that's were my I would start. After tubes, mounting and balancing, I might have enough left over for a 6-pack ;).

(this is just for the bike, right?) 
My bikes are about done.  I'd probably want a sportier rear taillight for the 350, but I'd be spending the money on MickeyX's 350, getting it tires and all the necessaries.

So, the strategy is to lie to people you are asking for help?

I think I'll be busy going for a ride.

Good luck!
