Austin Area TW Chapter (all gens welcome, even T4Rs; heck, just make it a Toyota and we're good)

​

 

Yeah but I've had them on my wish list now ever since getting my suspension installed. Right now i'm saving for a Prinsu rack so the sliders will be later on towards summer. I usually park in the back of the lot too or in this case at the very top of the garage. I will be parking all the way up from now on until this project is finished.

Same here and always try and hug the curb when possible.

Yeah I did one of these when I dented that ladies van years ago. My truck was on a slope but that's still not an excuse for allowing my door to open on hers. Lesson learned for sure. I really felt bad.

 

FIFY

 

I actually dented the door of my old Nissan Altima

Opened the door at a gas station and the wind blew it right into a steel bollard

- For sure learnt a lesson that day!​

 

​

Pretty much. Trying to find a Honda Rukus for scootin around on

The truck is really overkill for just me daily driving around the city

 

Hehe, that'd be a Vespa. But, Id still ride it foe sure.

I don't need much! ​

 

Why not a Chinese scooter 150cc wife an I had some when we lived in ATX for that reason. Great parking an cheap gas

 

I dunno. Kinda a Honda fan boy or whatever I guess.

I just like the Rukus a lot. Want to put some knobby tires on it too lol

 

You probably know better than me, but gotta watch out for the bad drivers around here. Its why I quit riding years ago. Too many close calls.

 

I love the ruckus wanted one bad but for the price of that we got 2 decent scooters drilled holes in the muffler to make it louder for “safety” reasons..good times good times

 

Safety first!!! ​

 

Oh I was heavy into real motorcycles in my 20s had to many close calls an known people who got really messed up. After I got laid off the first time sold everything I owned to make ends meet an never have had the desire for another one unless it’s a dirtbike/quad.

 

I stopped caring about dings and scratches about 2 weeks after purchase. HF will do that.


Actually, when I bought my VW GTI it was pristine. Within a week, the son of one of my kenpo classmates let the door fling open and right into my side. Knowing I had just gotten the car the guy felt so bad. Never trashed the car like I do the taco but it's easier to accept shit after the first ding.

 

Even ziptied some speakers to the handle bars am rocked out with my iPod thought I was sheet hot. Helmet with a spike also.

 

​

 

That was before the age of smart phones lol wish I did here’s the only pic on my phone of a victory I had. An a husky 250 2 stroke it was a beast when I lived in California.

 

Hell yeah, 2 smoke. You need to snag you another bike and come ride at my place.

 

I have a 1977 Honda Trail 70 that I need to get back up and running. The points need to be adjusted and they're on the bottom of the motor which means I have to take the motor out of the frame to get to them. Its mainly why Its sat for the last 2 years. Used to be street legal and was a great little bike to ride up to the local grocery store staying off any roads where the speed limit was 45+

 

What year is/was your GTI?
