Your thinking motorcycles and your right. Had a Suzuki cruiser over here last week. Guy could not get it started. I found a bad vacuum line that opens the fuel petcock to let gas into the carb. And the carb was filthy too. Oil was pure black. $150 later it's running great.
Got a 2 stroke Yamaha 80cc dirt bike right now. Kids ran it without oil in the gas. Piston and rings broken. The chain and sprockets are 90+% gone too. Nothing like $300 for a bike worth $200 won't fix.
My oldest Suzuki 1100 (Wes you know the one) has been leaking final drive hypoid fluid for 14 years, maybe 2 ounces every 500 miles but lately is more like 50 miles, so I fixed it today. When it was under warranty 2 Suzuki dealers worked on it trying to stop the leak(s). I took it apart, after going for parts twice, found the seal was in backwards from the service dep'ts.
Been driving 1600 miles a month average this year, spent $1400 on gas, good thing all the bikes get 46-65 mpg. Imagine how much that would be if it was a car at 20 mpg.
Had a guy come by yesterday said he would buy the BMW. Please pray for me!
There's been a rash of motorcycle accidents in EP. Lately it been the bikers fault. Too much speed, drinking, and no helmet. Except Sat. 25 yr old had a helmet on but was going over 100 and T-bone a car running a red light. Yes, he's dead and both vehicles are totalled.
If we speed we do it in the middle of nowhere so no one else get's hurt. But 2 of our group refuses to wear a helmet. One of them is pictured above. I always do except going around the block testing bikes so I can hear for noises.
