I would've gotten used to keep the bike. I'll never buy brand new ever again for cars or trucks unless I am rolling in cash. I bought a $36,000 Dodge Ram thunder road edition for $20,000 only one year old. That's extreme but cars and trucks lose too much value in 1st year of ownership. Bikes I just look for overstock leftovers. Nice truck though. I had a GMC 3/4 ton Sierra a few years back. Prefer the Dodge' hemi though over the GM engines.

Very nice truck. I just sold my truck as I rarely need a truck and went back to commuting in a car. Forgot how nice it is to be able to pull a U turn without going up on the curb or just whipping into a parking spot and ending up straight in one shot. :)

Join the dark side.... ride her into the ground like me!
You can always add another ride, but at almost five years, she's been a good all around bike for me and ready for more

I did the same thing recently but ended up with a boring accord

Hey now, I love driving my accord ex. :)

I agree though. Keep the bike and ride her to the ground. Drive the truck when you need to but use the bike at other times. You will probably save more in gas than you will get for the bike or spend on the insurance over its life.

yes def its was just a thought to bring down the monthly payment substantially but its not worth getting rid of considering how much I have put into it

I need to figure out how to reflash my nook, it only likes sharing on preset media sites like facebook.Go to banggood.com then search "throttle" , you'll see a lime green crampbuster for $1.89 in those results,



Then choose the black color.It took 2 weeks for mine to show up, but it did and the only markings on it are Monsters logo in raised letters so it would be really easy to paint the logo red if you wanted to.I rode 120 miles with mine the other day and it was great for the price of a bottled soda.

Here's a picture of what I received, its a little hard to see the logo but its there

i heard you mention the truck but must have missed this. nice looking, whats that get about 10 miles to the gallon? :)

im done with trucks, i can't stand the mileage at $4.20 a gallon and the "hey can you bring your truck and help me move this" crap !

Will be really cool to take your bikes in though. Next time we go for a ride you can just load it up in the back and bring down the truck, at 10 miles a gallon lol

When are you going to start modding and putting Monster on the truck?
