Suzuki GZ250. Gas is killing me on my commute and its cheaper to buy the bike than to pay for gas in my forerunner!

its a small 300 pound learner bike.

If vene signs off on this post, will it count for an OOH DNI??
 
Those are fun little bikes. I'm looking at getting myself an SV650 for commuting once I get this semester paid off. I need something to commute to Pecos County for part time shifts and then to ODessa for class
 
I can already tell that it is too small for me, but I'll wait until I'm done laying it down to get a real bike!

You never finish laying them down, trust me, just had a buddy lay his down after 30 years of riding experience. Sometimes it's not you, it's other cars who don't see you.
 
Quiz Question -- Why is the term "donorcycle" a misnomer?

(BTW, I commute on a Buell 1200 Firebolt)

Not for about another year, but when I am done with school I hope to earn enough to open up a motorcycle/ATV shop, gun shop, and bar.

I figure that will keep a steady rate of income.

With a sign that says "helmets are for wimps"

I thought the donor cycle was for low speed accidents without a helmet?

Well, that might actually work, for real low speed accidents, and where the Pt ended up in ICU for a day or two, so they could see how the organs were doing.

On a funnier note, there used to be a store that we passed on the way up to deer hunting many years back -- "Guns, Bullets and Booze". That always drew a laugh.

What organs are you going to harvest after an unrestrained impact? Maybe a little scleral tissue, but not much else useful...
