Buy a new tri bike or a new motorcycle?

Buy the new TT bike, unless you enjoy sitting in traffic even more than you already do.

BMW is like a pair of deuces

Duc is like a full house!

End of story :slight_smile:

i bought a scooter instead :wink: aprilia sr50 – 110miles/gallon, super clean engine.

If anyone wants to buy a scooter, check out this site http://www.halfpricescooters.com/150cc/compare.html

These people are amazingly cheap, and the quality looks fabulous. the helmets for $69 are incredible. I am going to buy one of the Euro Sporty’s next week for my teenage daughter to ride to school starting in August. I am thinking of buying another one for me and my wife to putsy around in our village.

Yes, I am a sucker for toys. Anything that 1. moves fast, 2. on two wheels, 3. on water, 4. on snow 5. heck, anything that is a rush I love. I guess I just never grew up.

He who dies with the most toys…

let me know how they turn out…

definitely great prices, but most of these are from china and have some installation issue, parts missing or loose, etc. i considered them myself but since i’m planning to commute on mine, i went with a local dealer.

also, fyi, at least in california, >50cc and you’re supposed to get a motorcycle license to ride the scooter. not a big deal, but that’s why i went with a 50cc – a little pokey but fine for local streets. insurance is a lot cheaper than cars too.

Actually scooters are 149cc and that is why insurance rates are much lower. Above 150cc and they are considered a motorcycle. They build them (scooters) below 150cc so they can be in a different category. Yes, there are two categories of motorcycle licenses in the State I live in (L and M). The L is just a written test and allows you on the scooter at age 16 and 50cc. The M allows you on a motorcycle and requires a State or private course at 16 or above. Except for the Vespa or Aprilla, most scooters are not made with amazing components (ie, might as well be made in China). Our daughter is stoked with her soon to be new ride.

Yes - you have a standard set of bikes, you should work on a non std set, need to add the cyclecross, the townie, the freeride mtb, the downhill mtb, the 29er fixie, also one road bike is never enough…

Buy the ducatti - you know you will - you are just trying to convince yourself its the right thing to do… Clearly its just a new toy - buy it and dont think
