I'm not a bike person, but I like the one that doesn't have the tall windscreen on it. Pretty mean lookin'.

It's my buddy's, an 07 Yamaha Warrior fuel injected 1700cc, like that one I had that was black with red stripes. Actually I've had two Warriors. They are the sportiest cruisers made, fun and fast...and less than half the price of most any harley. Lol. I liked mine, just like the storage, big seat, and windshield on my Nomad better for touring.

Better pics

Both the ones I had were 02 models, but they all were mostly the same for the 8 years they were made from 02-09. Different accessories, chrome stuff, blacked out stuff, and paint makes a world of difference on the same bike.

Never did fall in love with the color and all the chrome on this one so I didn't keep it too long. Bought it planning on customizing it, but never wanted to stop riding long enough to take it apart and do anything to it.

yea.....I'd drive that bike.

If you want a sporty cruiser get you a v-max. I've always liked them but you don't see them much, and pretty crazy fast for a cruiser

the old truck is a 79 f250 with Dana 60s front and back with 3:55 gears and auto. I blew up the 351m awhile back doing burnouts :****: but I've been building a 400m for it for awhile now so now all I like is getting a cam and matching converter for the trans. The block I've got is a super rare real 400 block from an old ltd car I've had it balanced with forged trw flattops with a set of rare Australian Cleveland 2 barrel heads that's been ported. Also gonna put my fender well headers on it with 3" exhaust with flowmasters. I'm possibly looking at a roller cam or I may just get a 282h cam. Also the heads are 7/16 stud mount with the crane gold race roller rockers with a quick fuel carb. I've also got a few nitrous kits laying around so I'm gonna put about 150 to 175 to just because. And the truck has cold a/c which I disconnected temporary. Basically a ford farmtruck lol.

thats what usually happens to em and I'm guilty of it too. But as nice as this truck is and how tight and good it drives you wouldn't believe it. I've turned down 5500.00 for this particular truck. When I found it I bought it and literally put the guy that owned it's son to walking :****:

fordcontraption01 · Apr 27, 2016

I'll get her back together and take you and mike for a spin in it booyang

Go ahead and be saving for the next time it leaks...its not if...its when with Goodman equipment.

Hell I know it, maybe the next leak will be as easy to fix. It was in one of the small copper lines in the condensing unit. Just glad it didn't cost more. Maybe **** will quit fawking up or needing replaced for awhile and cut me a break. Lol

Can't complain though, it went 9 years with no issue at all, its 11 yrs old now. Had this leak for 2 years now, 2 other hvac guys couldn't fix my ****, this guy found the leak within 10 minutes. Super great guy, referred by a coworker. Gonna keep his number handy. I like finding someone that you can trust.

Need to invest in some good insulation. Downstairs A/C hasn't been on this year yet. Upstairs runs for an hour or two to knock the heat down in the PM. Spray in insulation and double pain windows FTW!

Meh, they are fugly and the peg position isn't that much different than a sportbike. I wouldn't be able to ride one, but if I could, why not just get a sportbike? lol

Yep.

Mine has been a complete piece of ****.

It's out of warranty now so the next step is getting something that doesn't suck ass

I've heard good and bad with them. Maybe different models were better than others? Mine was 4 yrs old when I bought the house, no issues thus far. I've owned it for almost 7 years, and over it's 11 year history, it's cost me $647 for repairs. $280 to asshats that didn't fix it right, and now $367 to the guy that fixed it right. I'd say that ain't bad at all.....IF it doesn't begin costing me more and more, that is. Never priced new units, so I'm not real sure where Goodman falls in terms of price point and quality compared to other brands.

What's the best bang for your buck? Trane? I know very little about new units.

Re:

Oh and on the AC topic I left a Goodman (145 a month average 1680 sqft house in Greenville SC aka devil's taint). Went to a train, it hardly runs and when it does it's for short bursts. Prior to reinsulating the house bills dropped to 117 avg over a colder winter/hotter summer. Now with new insulation I average 106 through 12 months. It's not just the unit though like most think, new ducts/ properly insulated ducts make a huge impact as well.
