Bought my first donorcycle

[8jimi8]

Suzuki GZ250. Gas is killing me on my commute and its cheaper to buy the bike than to pay for gas in my forerunner!

its a small 300 pound learner bike.

Those are fun little bikes. I'm looking at getting myself an SV650 for commuting once I get this semester paid off. I need something to commute to Pecos County for part time shifts and then to ODessa for class

I can already tell that it is too small for me, but I'll wait until I'm done laying it down to get a real bike!

You never finish laying them down, trust me, just had a buddy lay his down after 30 years of riding experience. Sometimes it's not you, it's other cars who don't see you.

Quiz Question -- Why is the term "donorcycle" a misnomer?

(BTW, I commute on a Buell 1200 Firebolt)

Not for about another year, but when I am done with school I hope to earn enough to open up a motorcycle/ATV shop, gun shop, and bar.

I figure that will keep a steady rate of income.

I give up, why is it a misnomer?

What organs are you going to harvest after an unrestrained impact? Maybe a little scleral tissue, but not much else useful...

With a sign that says "helmets are for wimps"

I thought the donor cycle was for low speed accidents without a helmet?

Well, that might actually work, for real low speed accidents, and where the Pt ended up in ICU for a day or two, so they could see how the organs were doing.

On a funnier note, there used to be a store that we passed on the way up to deer hunting many years back -- "Guns, Bullets and Booze". That always drew a laugh.

It's more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow
