[sean]

[jack90gt]

I would def like to get a headcount for this summer and figure out someplaces to go.....Nice bikes sean....

[sean]

I am in but I am in the back. I dont ride with people any more because I got hit in the arm a few times by mirrors because of dumb asses that dont like to stop at red lights. That and a few near miss rear ends by my stupid friends showing off and not paying attention to whats in front of them.

[jack90gt]

Ahhhh hell no i am in the back too.....I dont like to be that close to another dude,,,,lol

[sean]

lol. You get that many people theres bound to be a few idiots. I do like watching them but I dont like to be in front of them.

[jack90gt]

oh yeah we had like 30 over here one day and cruised through town and it was awsome..My wife works at the co jail here as a rn and she got one of the cops to escort us through town but yeah there is always a couple idiots...My buddy does high chairs at 100 so yeah idiots....lol....I just like to cruise is all...Guess thats the old guy coming out of me....

[sean]

man... i am ashamed of how easy I take it on my gsxr 1000. I dont think I have seen over 7500 rpms.. lol And it has a bunch of money spent on it to make it go fast... lol

[347sc]

Here is a pic of mine, I will have to wait and see if Im able to ride after I rehab my arm.

[1987coupe]

thanks man

[1987coupe]

those giant signals are now flush mount clear leds

[sean]

shit, summer???/ I rode yesterday will be out at some point today and will be out in the middle of winter. I took an old useless bengals sweatshirt and cut the sleeves about 10 or so inches down from the shoulder. Put that around my neck with the helmet and that part stays nice and warm. You can do that or spend 20 or so dollars on a gater neck.

[jack90gt]

nice thats a real good lookin bike.....

[jack90gt]

Man i am not that dedicated mine is put up for the winter....

[sean]

Man i am not that dedicated mine is put up for the winter....

Dammit.. I thought you were better than that. Nothing like riding around looking at christmas lights.

[jack90gt]

well it does sound kind of cool....Maybe just maybe...

[silverstang]

I ride. I have a cruiser tho you guys would run away from my harley but I would still join in for a good group ride. I am at work now so I don't have a pic to put up but its a 08 softail night train. Its lowered, piped, has a fuel pack on it, and a couple other things.

[beefcake]

mines like a cruiser with the sidewinder, between that and the arm, it isn't much in the twisties lol

[silverstang]

Mine is not much in the twisties or the 1320 foot dash for that matter lol. Its loud as hell though.:D

[jack90gt]

Haha nice silver.. Been thinking about getting a harley... Gotta love the sound of'em...

[KB1]

Mine 2000 Screamin Eagle Road Glide.

[silverstang]

I love my Harley but I really miss my RR. I got the harley when a group of rode to Cali. or I would have never got rid of the RR.

[INSANEBA]

My girl and I ride, and I've been talking to a few board members about putting together a bike cruise for all of us this coming summer.

These two are mine

This is my girls I built for her last winter, shitty pic though
http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd80/INSANEBA/pink-1.jpg

[jack90gt]

Well Insane lets get the ball rolling here so we can get some stuff figured out.....

[INSANEBA]

Deal, we need to figure out a good spot to ride, somewhere somewhat central for everyone. And an end point at a drag strip wouldnt be too shabby either lol! I'm down for whatever, whatcha got in mind?

[beefcake]

lol@dragstrip, love it!

[INSANEBA]

I figured you would be down Beef! lol...

[1987coupe]

well i weigh 320 so my little 600 prolly wouldnt get me down the track to quickly lol

[jack90gt]

I weigh 230 my little 600 just pokes along..never had it to the track though..- am up for whatever though as long as I get to ride...

[INSANEBA]

Well my nitrous bike is hurt, holes in 2 pistons lmao. But she made 282hp before she melted down! It may be fixed by then, if not I'll beat on the busa. We've got all winter to hash out the details, but I say we gotta do this! If anyone else wants to go that doesent have a bike, bring those stangs out and roll with us too!

[Goldeneagle]

This is a hard ride for me.

[INSANEBA]

Holy shit man, there are these things called shock absorbers, they make things ride soo nice lol jk! Rigids are a clean look, but the last one I rode had me aching for a few days after...

[jack90gt]

Holy shit golden that is bad ass.....Hemroids here i come......LMAO sorry.......Hell yeah lets just get everyone stang or bike to cruise.....That would be flippin bad....BALEEEEEEDATTTTTTTTT

[93 coupe]

Nice bike. if i got a bike it would be something like that

[INSANEBA]

I'm no bagger or harley guy for that matter, but thats a sweet ride there buddy!

[jack90gt]

Man i like those wheels.....Nice bike...I am a sport bike guy but i just like to cruise....

[93 coupe]

Thanks! Its fun and still makes enough power to get u in trouble! :lol:

[87stangbbb]

my buddy's dad has a black street glide. thats what i would want if i ever got a harley

[sean]

thats nice.. I usually dont like the dressers but I like that one.

[silverstang]

If I were to buy another harley no doubt in my mind it would be a street glide. They are a bad ass bike:bigthumb

[Rick93coupe]

I ride, not as much as I'd like but when I have time I'm up for it.

[beefcake]

make it a sunday!

[INSANEBA]

I'm sure we can come to an agreement on something. You work saturdays Beef? Maybe we should set up a poll on a day and time, and then start working on a cruise route... A saturday would be nice for me, because I gotta drive about 2.5 hours to get to cincy, so that would make a loooong sunday lol, but I'll do what I gotta do...

[black90lx]

there are no tracks open on sunday for t&t. lol

[jack90gt]

True the 1/4 mile track that is 5min from my house closed for the season 2 weeks ago

[black90lx]

[97dustang]

heres mine

http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt45/97dustang/?action=view&current=newpaint.jpg

im definately down for a ride next summer. i'll be riding all winter too, i cant stop lol

[97dustang]

damnit, pic didnt work

http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt45/97dustang/?action=view&current=newpaint.jpg

heres a link

[jack90gt]

Wow black that is a bad gixxer....I feel out of place on my little 600.....

[black90lx]

its just a little stock motor n/a 1000. lol. i have always like the paint scheme on your gixxer.

[jack90gt]

def nice ride 97dustang and i must say sharp stang

[jack90gt]

Yeah i need to get a bigger bike....Just tryin to figure out which one though.....

[jack90gt]

Man i cannot wait till summer gets here......it is going to be awsome....

[97dustang]

thanks!

[sean]

there are a few big bikes out there but theres something to be said about a newer 600 thats fuel injected too. I really like the newer cbr 600 rr and the r6 and some of the gsxr 600. I think the newer cbr 600 is one of the nicest looking bikes. The big liter bike is fun but kinda useless for daily non flying riding. I will have a busa soon just because I want to be a little less cramped.

[jack90gt]

I know my 600 and it is fuel injected and my other gixxer 750 was carbed and its a world of difference....Twist the throttle and its gone.....Thinkin about a 1000 or a older 900rr... I asked my wife about a busa and she said HELL NO....She said i would kill myself

[97dustang]

yea, my 600 is my first bike, and its not that i want/need to go any faster, cuz its pretty quick, i just want something physically bigger. i feel too big on my 600, im 6'2" and 230 lbs

[sean]

Thats the issue with some of the 1000's They are stuffing big engines in damn near 600cc frames. My gsxr 1000 is about the same size of the 600cc bike.

[jack90gt]

yea, my 600 is my first bike, and its not that i want/need to go any faster, cuz its pretty quick, i just want something physically bigger. i feel too big on my 600, im 6'2" and 230 lbs

That's understandable as I am 5'11 and 230. My 600 is comfy though... I am trying to get some ideas...

[97dustang]

yea, just go somewhere like middletown cycle, or cycle specialties who carries several brands and sit on a bunch and see what you like and what is comfy. id reccomend middletown cycle, they have a huge inventory

[beefcake]

thats why i ride a busa! i fit on it lol

[sean]

thats why i ride a busa! i fit on it lol

thats why I will have one soon enough. I have been offered a few for the gsxr just not the right one yet.

[beefcake]

thats why I will have one soon enough. I have been offered a few for the gsxr just not the right one yet.

well sell yours, buy mine lol

[sean]

lol. No one is buying right now. I am tired of hearing the market is down and its not the right season. All I really hear is I am a broke dick trying to buy your bike for nothing.. lol

[97dustang]

lol. No one is buying right now. I am tired of hearing the market is down and its not the right season. All I really hear is I am a broke dick trying to buy your bike for nothing.. lol

That was me! lol i picked mine up for 2800. not too shabby in my opinion.

why are you tryin to sell yours sean?

[mustangkuhn90lx]

i'm in i ride a 2005 gsx19656r 750 i race almost ever weekend

[97dustang]

where at?

[jack90gt]

Hell i gave $2500 for my o3 with 8416 miles on it...

[mustangkuhn90lx]

i race at tri state

[97dustang]

damn jack, you got a deal.

anyone ever do any road racing on their bike?

[Goldenpony]

I ride a 2006 Suzuki Boulavard C50.

[sean]

That was me! lol i picked mine up for 2800. not too shabby in my opinion.

why are you tryin to sell yours sean?

lol Thats a good deal. I would have picked that up too.

I am really not selling mine. I will trade it for the right car or truck but mostly wanting to trade it for a hayabusa. I have had some nice offers but just not the right one yet. I want something just as fast and quick as mine but just a bit bigger. i am to cramped on mine. So I either need to loose weight or get a different bike... I sure am going to miss my gsxr..lol

Also I am all for lowballing. I do it on a regular basis. But I am one of those guys with a perfect bike and I would just not sell it before I give it away. If you have been to any of the fall cruise ins in the last 2 years you have seen my bike... No thanks to the people taking pics since they went right past my bike but still got a pic of marks damn conquest.. But I am not bitter. Any way if you have seen it you know you will not find a nicer 05 gsxr 1000... So I am not giving it away.

damn I think that was a bit of a rant...lol

Deep breaths

[jack90gt]

haha yeah i had a buddy going through a divorce and needed money for a lawyer so thats what he told me and i bought it and rode it home....All i had to do was get a battery...

[93 coupe]

Thats when you know your getting old !

Amen Ned!

[INSANEBA]

Well the 2000-2003 GSXR was the most comfy body ever made on them. After that they get skinnier and shorter every year, which makes it rough on us bigger guys. I love my 02 1000, ant it's decently comfy, but my Busa is my "goldwing" lol. Plus that bikes just a blast to launch, 5500 and dump the clutch/pin the throttle and hold on lol. A gsxr 1000 set up just right will work a busa over, proven fact. But for riding I like the big boy. Whoever said a 1000 or busa is too much for daily riding, needs to do more riding lmao, hell a stock 1k or busa isint enough for me anyways lol...

[jack90gt]

I have been lookin at some 1000s here lately.. Just not sure never rode one..

[jack90gt]

Man I am getting pumped about this.... I am gonna go ride now...

[black90lx]

I know my 600 and it is fuel injected and my other gixxer 750 was carbed and its a world of difference....Twist the throttle and its gone.....Thinkin about a 1000 or a older 900rr... I asked my wife about a busa and she said HELL NO....She said i would kill myself

actually busa's are slower than 1000, atleast slower than mine. lol

[black90lx]

i am about to head out on mine for a few. lol

[INSANEBA]

actually busa's are slower than 1000, atleast slower than mine. lol

Most of the times, but if the busa is dialed in and has a good rider it can do some damage. I let my buddies 14 yr old son run mine last time out and he spanked another light weight rider on an 05 1k, and an 06 1k lol. But the 1k's are a better 1/4 bike than the busa in stock trim. Thats why I have both lol. a heavily modded 1k and a soon to be turbo'ed busa:D

[jack90gt]

I am going looking at bikes today......I am gonna see what they will give me for a trade in for mine....

yea true. it basically comes down to the rider but i have yet to see a busa that has the same parts as mine run my times. i barely break out of the 1.5's too. on a good day i will go high 1.4's. lol

[jack90gt]

Damn you gettin it...

[sean]

I am going looking at bikes today......I am gonna see what they will give me for a trade in for mine....

so how did it go?

[jack90gt]

Leaving now. Hopefully they will give me descent money for mine. Hell its only got about 9800 miles on it original

[93 coupe]

Leaving now. Hopefully they will give me descent money for mine. Hell its only got about 9800 miles on it original


I doubt you'll here what u want to here when trading it in.

[jack90gt]

Yeah probally better to sell it outright. I have a buddy that wants it bad. Just trying to figure out what I want to sell it for. Miles are low no dents scratches new shinkos battery and devil dual exhaust( sounds badass)

[sean]

trading in something is always tough. But yea, you may want to get an idea of what is important to you in a bike. Are you into the twisties or do you need something that when you hit the gas you have to hold the fuck on? The r1 is a great bike and fast as hell. At least the 2000 I had was fast. Have you ever been on a cruiser? I really like riding my shadow. Its a lot different as far as seat position and the ride in general. If you go the cruiser route if its a chain drive get at least a 750. If its shaft 1100cc or bigger or its a pig. Figure out what you may like. Or do what I did and get both. I just got back from a ride on the shadow and had the gsxr out yesterday. Its nice to have both.

[97dustang]

anyone want to do the iron butt trip next year? im gonna do it on a sportbike lol i may not be able to walk for a week after its done but damnit i want to do it lol

[sean]

what exactly is that?

[97dustang]

you ride from st. louis to new orleans, back to st louis in 24 hours. its next spring, usually there are a few hundred bikes that show up

[sean]

Lol... uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhh



nope

[97dustang]

alright, i'll count you in lol

they have another run that is the four corners of the country in a week. start in maine, to florida, to cali, to washington and back to maine. and you have to be at the checkpoints by a certain time. and for bonus points you can take bonus trips, where you go to checkpoints that are off the route and then make it to the main checkpoint still on time, im not sure im up for that one but im gonna try the 24 hour ride. shouldnt be too bad. i figure a 10 min stop every 150 miles or so, then i'll have to average 72 mph the rest of the way.

[sean]

lol you better make sure you can get 150 miles out of a tank of gas. I know the gsxr I have doesnt and I dont think the shadow does either.

[97dustang]

i get 150 to a tank around town, i would imagine cruising down the highway would be even better

[Aweasel]

never touched a bike until I took the MSF course in nov 07... I got this in summer of 08

2 low sides and 20k later....get the knee down on the street and wheelie the hell out of it. 2nd gear went out this summer. common on CBR transmissions. time for a new bike. Have my eye on 3. 2006+ R6(not the S model), 2004-2008 R1, and 2006+ triumph daytona 675. Leaning towards the 675. Will keep my CBR and replace 2nd gear and shift fork. Working on setting up a track day rig and trailer. My heart's in the twisties for sure.

[97dustang]

love your helmet

a buddy of mine has the triumph 675, he loves it, its a very tall and skinny bike. it looks really sleek

[sean]

i get 150 to a tank around town, i would imagine cruising down the highway would be even better

I forgot. You have the 600cc. Yes sir. You should be fine.

[jack90gt]

Thats a badass cbr....

[97dustang]

yep, i just dont want it to be boring. riding straight for 24 hours, on the highway is going to be really boring lol but oh well, i just think it will be a neat trip. id like to ride to florida on a friday and then back on a sunday this winter, just to do a bit of a practice to see how bad its gonna be. also just because i want to go to florida lol

[Aweasel]

Thats a badass cbr....

thanks man, it's changed a lot since I got it...

So whats it look like now?

[jack90gt]

yeah what sean said........That 2nd pic looks like it is all screwed up....

[Gene]

anyone want to do the iron butt trip next year? im gonna do it on a sportbike lol i may not be able to walk for a week after its done but damnit i want to do it lol

You don't have to go on a particular trip to do an Iron Butt. I did one about 5 years ago riding from Cincinnati to Sault Ste. Marie and back. 1000 miles in less than 24 hours. I did it on my Ducati 900SS/SP. :coo1:

www.ironbutt.com

[jack90gt]

Man i would love to do a long cruise like that....... I love cruising the lake side in michigan in the middle of summer......

[jack90gt]

Yeah going to look and test ride a 2000 929rr Its got 18000 miles on but very clean and full Jardine exhaust....Wish me luck

[sean]

How much is it? What are you wanting to spend? Someone on here may have or know of a great deal.

[jack90gt]

Well it is through a friend of a friend and he is asking $3200 for it...Price wise i guess it would just depend really..

[sean]

cool. good luck then. Pics if you get it. tomorrow looks like a good day to ride it too.

[Aweasel]

yeah what sean said........That 2nd pic looks like it is all screwed up....

it was, first low side at about 50mph...front tire caught a sand pit in the middle of the road. That was end of the season in 08. Trashed the fairings and the forks. Then at end of season in 09 I did the same thing on merwin 10 mile down by that really tight right hander heading towards new richmond which prompted the gold wheels, 600rr swinger, and all new red paint. latest is the first pics I posted above from this season.

Already put it away for the winter. Got in about 8000 miles this year from may to october. During the summer I went weeks without driving a car. Rain or shine I ride...rain riding is ample opportunity to practice backing it in through corners :bigthumb

[sean]

You sound like you wreck a lot. You riding like that on public roads?

[Aweasel]

I lowsided twice in 20,000 miles over the past 3 seasons. Both in gravel/sand in the road. If you take your sport bike on some spirited rides thru some country back roads it's bound to happen. There's always the occasional debris kicked up from cars and what not. A few times this season the front washed out a little but I learned how to save her.


2 low sides is hardly wrecking a lot...I'm glad I got them out of the way and got back on, motorcycle crashes are a learning experience no class can simulate

[sean]

I just prefer to not wreck...

[jack90gt]

Yep that's how I feel also man...

[INSANEBA]

The slogan "Been there wrecked that" well it pertains to me lmao! Hell half my body is steel re-inforced. But then again, I started riding when I was 8, and havent stopped. Just keep going faster and faster...

[97dustang]

You don't have to go on a particular trip to do an Iron Butt. I did one about 5 years ago riding from Cincinnati to Sault Ste. Marie and back. 1000 miles in less than 24 hours. I did it on my Ducati 900SS/SP. :coo1:

www.ironbutt.com

yea, i know you can just go on your own, you just have to have your receipts signed at gas stations, but i thought it would be a bit more fun to do it when theres some other bikers with me

[347sc]

Yeah going to look and test ride a 2000 929rr Its got 18000 miles on but very clean and full Jardine exhaust....Wish me luck

I will make you a deal on my ZX10. It will need about $200 in parts to make perfect again.

[347sc]

The slogan "Been there wrecked that" well it pertains to me lmao! Hell half my body is steel re-inforced. But then again, I started riding when I was 8, and havent stopped. Just keep going faster and faster...

Lol sounds like me but I have titanium.

[beefcake]

I have never dropped a bike in 20 years of riding. Probably because i'm not super aggressive in the turns.

[97dustang]

anyone going riding today? its supposed to be pretty nice out (relatively speaking)

[INSANEBA]

Lol sounds like me but I have titanium.

Well mines TI also, but most people dont comprehend that lol. Beef, I started when I was 8, and really didnt have much guidance or supervision lol. So if I was dared, I did it:coo1: lol... I have the med bills and x rays to prove it too lmao... I plan on atleast romping around the country block on mine, might even get the gf's pink beast out too!

[jack90gt]

347sc pm sent and insaneba pm sent also

Doesn't take a curve to take you down. You are lucky but I hope you didn't just jinx yourself

[beefcake]

Doesn't take a curve to take you down. You are lucky but I hope you didn't just jinx yourself

closest i came was in my driveway, kickstand came out from under my valkyrie when I was setting it down. big bike, luckily thats when i was working out, it took everything i had to keep it up, got about 1 inch from the ground before i caught it

[97dustang]

aweasel, i think i passed you today on 125 in beechmont, were you riding out that way today?

[sean]

just got back. Took both out for some fun. It was a great day for it. may not be another one like it for a while. I guess its time to get the odyssey 350 out.

[Aweasel]

aweasel, i think i passed you today on 125 in beechmont, were you riding out that way today?

damn dude I wish....hope nobody grabbed my bike outta my storage unit. Funny thing, it's in a unit at 125 storage but I'm in Greensburg, IN :(

[jack90gt]

Was out for about an hour then it started raining like hell......

I have never dropped a bike in 20 years of riding.

I can't say that, unfortunately, and I wasn't exactly pushing my bike when it went down. :D

[jack90gt]

I dropped one and it was because i forgot to put my plastic pad down under the kickstand and it sunk into the bllk top and fell over....thats it knock on wood...

[INSANEBA]

I hit a tractor once... Asshat turned infront of me, had no choice but to eat the left front tire...

[87stangbbb]

lol hit a tractor.thats a funny story

[INSANEBA]

Wasnt at the time, but years later we chuckle about it lol... Only got a broken right hand and 3 broken ribs from that one. Yep, good safety gear works! It was actually the white and grey bike I posted on the first page of this thread I was riding at the time,,,

[TZ250]

nice pics. Also nice to see that kind of riding on the track
I have never been that low. It looks pretty cool.

[9cobra4]

Is that top pic a 250cc 2 stroke bike? Just guessing from your screen name, if so, what's specs on that? How's the acceleration compared to a more common I-4 bike?

[black90lx]

those 250's are badass bikes

[INSANEBA]

My buddy has an RG Gamma 500 that makes 140hp, and feels like its gonna yank your arms outta socket. Total surprise to me when I rode it lol... Man your a little shit lol, you make that Gixx look huge lol...

[sean]

Lol I noticed that too. That gsxr looks like its 12 feet long.

[INSANEBA]

No kidding, mines slammed in the weeds and 8 over, but I still make it look small lol. Most folks think it's a 600 til I start it up lol...

[sean]

Yea. Mine is lowered quite a bit too. Also with it being an 05 its already smaller. I get sick of people looking at it and asking if its a 600. Even had some guy ask if it was an 800???

[jack90gt]

Damn that is way to low for me......Wtf he asked if it was a 800?????/Did you slap him,,,

[sean]

Mines down 2 inches or so. I know this because i can touch with both feet. Never been able to do that on a sport bike. When dude asked if it was an 800 I did pause for a moment and picture slapping him a bit, lol then just said no its a 1000. He was just trying to fit in and act like he knew something about bikes.

[jack90gt]

haha i bet man....

[INSANEBA]

My knees are bent nicely when mines strapped down. Hell my busa sets lower than that lol. But thats how you launch it hard as hell lol. I get em to drag, and set em up accordingly, and thats what you gotta do. One of these days I'm gonna get a bike ald leave it stock wb and height just to hit the twists and ride some wheelies on... One of these days lol...

[jack90gt]

Haha key words one of these days. Right??? Lol

[sean]

I have thought of raising mine back up so i can turn faster but since I am no good at turning on sport bikes I guess i will leave it be...

[97dustang]

i like the look of lowered bikes alot but i think im way too tall to lower mine any, its at stock height and i can flat foot both feet :/ plus i enjoy conering fast too much to lower it, but your guys' bikes definately have an awesome stance

I get that alot since the bike is shorter then a ZX6 people ask if thats what it is. It plainly says ZX10R right on the tail section.
I can set mine up high or drop in on the tire with the adjustable links on back but it is to low to really turn when its all the way down so I keep it in the middle

There see... Thats how much I know. I was told mine has some pricey adjustable links too but I have no idea what the hell that means or how to adjust them. I swear, I have no right owning something like this. I get on it and ride it. How do I know if I have a set up where I can raise it and lower it like that? With out a tool?

[347sc]

Mine have 3 differnt holes in the link bars, some are like turnbuckles that you turn up or down. Yours should attach to the bottom of the rear shock so take a look and see what kind the are. Pretty easy to raise either way.

[sean]

I will look tomorrow and let you know. Thanks

thats a clean one. I remember looking at those. That helmet is nice. Like to get one made to match mine like that.

[jack90gt]

Man thats a nice looking bike.....I am so ready for summer....

[sean]

You dont need summer. You need a few things to keep you warm and to not be a sally and go for a ride. lol

[jack90gt]

yeah true.....might head out today for a little bit....

[97dustang]

supposed to be a decent weekend (relatively speaking) anyone want to go for a ride?

[INSANEBA]

I used to have one of those, great bikes! I remember I bought it for $700, and the same day I smoked my buddy on his brand new buell with it lmao! x2 on the matching lids, I paint one for all the bikes I paint as long as the owner wants one. The last two were for my busa "The Punisher" and my girls "Coach" GSXR...

[sean]

I really like the idea of a custom painted lid. I did see one that had like 3d reflective skulls on it but I forget who makes it. Anyone seen that one? Wasnt expensive at all. Like 160?
