MARYLAND TACOMAS

So when i did my serpentine belt and pulleys, everything was fine for a few hundred miles.

Now all of the sudden, my new belt has a weird wear mark on the back of it and it barks really loud on cold start (ONLY). Ordering a new belt and then examining the surrounding areas in hopes that the problem is obvious. But as of right now, i’m clueless. Never had this issue with any vehicle before. Maybe i got a bad belt? Who knows.

 

Possible it's a bad belt. What kind of belt is it?

 

Never, I've had that bike for 20 years now. I sold it twice and was lucky enough to be able to buy it back both times. The Harley can go tho.

 

OEM

 

no one wants or needs a Harley

 

Had me looking at the new XR250 last night.

Absolutely no way is that happening but I like to look.

 

get an atv Rob, u r too long of the tooth for a murdercycle, as am i

 

Maybe it's just me but I don't see a $111,925 dollar vehicle here.

 

Thanks for the encouraging words Steve! Honestly though, at least with an ATV I can pack my walker.

 

Me either but if you want to watch an incredible marketing video for the brand, check this out!

Honda Goldwing Trike! Painted Toyota Inferno. Just saying.....

 

Funny, you should say. The last bike I had looked something like this:



I don't keep photos of past vehicles so I had to steal this off the web.

 

wait, what? no such thing exists as far as i know. You mean the CRF250L?

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Yea, sorry, 1 am is harsh on this old man. I was combining the 650 and 250, but this is it:

oh no, not the rally model!!!!!

They took the already heaviest 250 on the market and made it even more heavy and slow....

 

Well I need all the weight under me I can get because otherwise it would be too top heavy . But seriously, If I was spending 6k I would just drop another 2 for the 650. If I was buying new. I definitely would not.

My first real motorcycle was a CR125 back in 1975 or 74...... How old were you then. LOL, how old was your dad?! LOL

That 650 is a classic. Like me.

 

he was several years out of high school actually.

The XR650L is just a dinosaur, completely unchanged since the mid 80s. Buying an XR650R from out west would be better The L is a low compression bike, while the R is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more powerful


Or buy the Suzuki DR650, unchanged since 96 a much better bike than the XR650L....

 

Okay, I went off on a tangent. I just want to ride. Need to get through my finals so I can ride this weekend....

 

BLASPHEMY!!!!!!!!!!
