Doc I would keep the Q but I live in apartments now and have no where to put it. So if I'm not riding it I should sell it. I would rent a space in storage down the street but the cheapest unit on the ground floor where I can store it is well over a hundred a month. Last time I checked it was almost $200. I still need to put a belt on the Blast and dont have the cash this week to tag it but as soon as I do I will post the Q up for sale. The only issues are the backlight for the gauges is out and theres a few scratches on the rear fender where I been bungieing a tool bag. I'm thinking $800 when the time comes. |
Doc understands.
Be sure to stick around here though. That's what the Other and Ride Report Forums are for. 8) I kinda like Blasts. Another undervalued orphan bike, almost like a CB. |
Yeah I been waiting for the right deal on a blast or a 80's nighthawk 650. This one fell into my lap and I had to grab it while I can.

All I have to do to is remind myself I sold the Q and the XS400 to buy the KLX. :D

X3! I dig Eric Buell's products. I've heard rumours of a possible Buell resurrection; anyone else hear that?

Zug, congrats on the Blast. I was never really a fan of the bikes, mostly from an aesthetic point of view, but I do appreciate their somewhat unique engineering.
Yes, it was 80 yesterday, but today's high is 57. Then we also get 4 days of rain. I am getting tired of these April showers... As for highway riding, I understand the capabilities and limitations of the 200. The section of highway that I ride is more of a bypass, with fairly light traffic and 55mph speed limit. I feel comfortable riding it for the short stretch that I'm on it. I can easily tuck behind a car or truck and ride in their draft at 65 mph without problem. I do appreciate your concern, though. :D The ride in this morning was even better than yesterday. I am noticing a bit of front wheel hop, so I need to check the balance and tire run-out and probably replace the fork fluid. And I need to get those risers installed... :lol: |

I have been rear-ended on my SV before, it is not fun. I was making a left turn, so I was almost stopped, but after the crash I wound up with my helmet under the front bumper and my face shield against the front tire. I was only bruised; it could have ended much worse. Crashes can happen on the highway or anywhere, so now I always make sure I know who is behind me.
Of course that didn't help when I was hit by a deer a few years ago, he came out from the side and tackled me right off the bike. I am now a strong advocate of wearing safety gear. |
Doc's also glad to be here. I still have work to do. :wink:
I was hit by a deer, twice while I lived in Kalifornia!! 8O I was in my car, both times. SOB dented the door once. I hit a bat at 100+ MPH in Yosemite one night while riding an Interceptor 800. Hit me in the chest. Felt like Clubber Lang punched me. There is a lot of blood in a bat. I looked like Freddy Kruger. :roll: |
I hit a deer in 2003. Fortunately I rode away with a just a bruised ankle and a clump of fur in the fender.

Hitting Deer in PA is almost an everyday occurance - I hit one in 2000 with My Toyota Pickup 4x4 Lifted - 65mph and drove over top of it!
Hit a Heard of them in my minivan 8 total - Killed 4 of them and didn;t even total out the van! - LMAO Needless to say My Freezer was FULL of Venison for quite awhile. Thats how we do it here in PA! :wink: |
