Bickering about bicycles, now with occasional tips about motorised vehicles
GarandMarine:
Hedgie was talking about motorcycles, and a Harley Sportster can be had for cheap if you do your own work, and buy one from the 80s. I don't buy nearly ANYTHING new.
Grognard:
the Ranger failed inspection.
must have a short someplace, because 3 different lights burnt out in the past 72 hours.
and then the tie rod ends and the passenger ball joint are shot as well.
Waiting to get some more estimates for the repairs.
so far, I've heard: $600 and $850.... :(

For a lot of things, it's better that way, especially if one is frugal || on a tight budget. It rather boggles my mind what some people pay for the new shiny, when after 6 months, it can be found second-hand, or discounted to being a model that's being phased out, or a refurb for a fraction of the price.
jwhouk:
Somebody's gotta be the first, or it never gets used.
GarandMarine:
Or the price drops till more people are willing to purchase it.
