Another bike will come along.. they always do..
Watch CL.. if you are quick and lucky you snag em for $100-$200 sometimes..

I spent $100 for my first GS1000L with title.. $125 for the 78 GS1000E again with title..
After that it's usually $1000 in parts to have em running & reliable with new tires.

You did good with that one.. the next will be easier.. go for it when you have the spare $$

Well I, for one, hope you stick around with or without a bike. I have enjoyed your posts.

You think my posts are interesting? Awesome I think I'll just tie up a few loose ends on here first though. Being here or any other bike forum will tempt me into getting another bike but I'll pop in every once in a while.

Its the internet, don't take anything serious. You bought a bike, made it looks and run great, then upgraded. You've fixed a lot of things on this one and now are making the smart decision to sell it for a car. Don't doubt your decision, you knew going into motorcycles that they weren't the most practical and technically a discretionary expense.

Someone just HAS to say it:
So, what are you going to buy to work on now?
Are you already planning on selling it?
How long before you give up on it?

I found this post rude. Like you're dissing me. I didnt want to give up on the bike. I needed the money to fix the truck and to buy tools for my new job. But then again, maybe bikes are not my thing...

Tell you what I'm gonna do Allen.....Next time you think you want a bike call me. We will call it the "TeamDar" bike. You won't have to work on it at all. Just send me $500 to start with. Then each week I will tell you that there is something else wrong with the bike and to send me $100 to fix it. After about 3 months when you have spent $1300 to get it running + the $500 for the bike you will have $1800 invested. Then you can call me and tell me that you need a car and I should sell the bike. If I'm feeling generous I will send you $1000 and send you on your way. You didn't get to ride it much (not at all) but you didn't even have to work on it so you really came out ahead! What do you think? Dar

Rainy day here in Seattle

The bike is gone.

Yeah.

I know, I'm there all the time. Remember my background....

Unless the tranny/drive train is shot, just look around on CL for some drifter that wants to unload their KA from an SR swap. Pretty much the same engine.

KA24? Hmmm.....

It's a 1990 Nissan Pick Up, 4 cylinder, rear wheel drive.

It's a really old truck with over 300,000 miles. I'm thinking it should be retired and isn't really worth fixing.

What kind of truck is it?
Undo the exhaust manifolds and engine mount bolts
Take off the drive shaft if it has one
Jack the front of the tranny up with a block of wood until the oil pan can clear.
Remove oil pan and replace the rod bearing.
I've done this on big old Chevys and a Nisson truck.
It's really not that hard.
Of course drain the oil first.
Can you get a cherry picker?
