[QUOTE="nephron, post: 880090, member: 23759"] If you want to: 1) get something that costs an 8th of what your bike costs 2) is bulletproof reliable, provided it has been maintained 3) has absolutely no electronics 4) is cheap to repair 5) is easy to repair (simple) 6) and most importantly, is extremely cool... Get a 73 360 Ford longbed 2 wheel drive pickup. Find one from a guy that has maintained it like a personal treasure. A minimalistic approach to repairing one of these things is simply, eg, cross honing the bores and put on new rings. Vat the heads and lap the valves....point is, these things run and run well, with that kind of crappy effort. You wouldn't want to do more anyway, since you could easily find one in the $500-$800 range. When I was a freshman in high school, I took our IH cabover (350 Cummins) without the trailer, and packed with 10 kids downtown, and got busted for drag racing a friend's late 70's T-Bird. ;) They're fast without the weight, as long as you can go through the 15 speed smoothly.
