thought I'd spread a thread about my fav cages. Thats right, the cages. I have a few fav's that I'll be looking into further, when my time to get a car comes nearer. I only ride the scooter now, had to sell my car due to dui fee's. But when it comes time I will be looking into a select group of vehicles.  I have owned a Subaru forester, which I'll be wanting to look into again. But this time I'll probably look into non-turbo. I need something good on gas. Here is a picture of my subaru.  I really enjoyed this car, Liked that its a AWD vehicle. I think its the best AWD system you can get. (?) I plan on getting into outdoors stuff perhaps, so another sube may be the way to go. Otherwise I might look into the honda accord. Good mileage. Can you suggest some others to look into? Perhaps you have a fav car. Where not talking about dream cars in this thread. Just fav realistic car/ cage to look into.  |

Don't do cage any more, but the last two were bought new: A 1972 Ford Pinto. Front bumper bolts were swapped for four Lucas Square Eight lamps, and co-phased CB antennas backed up with a 100 watt linear.  The Pinto was sold for a 1977 GMC K2500, 400sb, auto, full time 4x4 NP206, on one ton suspension.  Then, at age 39, I went and got married. Now I have a Vespa, and she has four cages. |

Paladin, how long have you been riding full time? First time, November '64, in Detroit, just for the winter, sold for a '61 Austin Healey Sprite, which I crashed.... Had a '74 DT175 that I rode mostly the time, thru '86 when I married. Had to have passenger capability, sold the bikes. Kids older, we needed a replacement for a killed car, wife was looking at the newspaper ads and said "Have you considered a motorcycle?" Being a "responsible" family man I took the class and get a motorcycle license before riding. October 14, 2004 (Blog is handy notes on what I got when.) Did not realize how much I missed riding. Technically, I am full time since then, but I can use one of her cages if I need to carry bigger stuff. It was about 8 years ago that I realized that I am a full time rider, part time cager -- that I do not *like* being in a cage. I started riding in '49, a toddler, I think the neighbor girls thought I was cute. I remember on the pedals, seat behind my head, hands higher. I remember riding in the car, window open, head outside, face in the wind. Last Sunday was nice, riding in the Mojave, no traffic, no helmet, no jacket, no gloves, just putting along at 30-40 mph. Scooters are good, but there are a few things you cannot do. Your old Subaru is about perfect -- any road, any time, can carry a lot of stuff and in if need more you can rent a trailer. Wife bought her dad's Sportage, added a class-II trailer hitch. When it dies we will be looking for something similar. Maybe a small truck, but there are no any small trucks available. |
