Yeah man im all for it! Lol..I do friends & families vehicles now, but I wouldnt mind branching out and going bigger. Getting a trailer, pressure washer, etc! Right now I get $50-$75 per vehicle depending on the vehicle, and thats a full detail. However I do use their water, so if I got my own I could charge more.

Im down for this as I do want my truck looking good at the show....we can use the water from the hotel....LOL

I know what you mean, try living here in central IL, everytime it gets below freezing the state absolutley covers the roads in salt and that nasty salt brine. I guess they think use it or lose it.

Have you driven one? They can be fairly buzzy and if you plan to hit the highway, 90 is nothing. Have you looked at something like an SV650N or the like? Much better power and they're great street bikes.

I have yet to ride on the street, been racing/riding dirt bikes since I was 12 but never on the street. I just dont like the feel of a street bike and the constant bending over lol. I was mainly looking for something to save on gas and the dual sports caught my eye. 99.9% of the time Id be riding it on back roads anyways, just to commute to and from work. After riding dirt bikes for so long, these just feel a lot better/similar!

Look at an SV650N then. ("N" stands for Naked) It uses standard handle bars and allows you to sit more upright.

The street is TOTALLY different than the dirt. You will want and NEED passing power and power to merge into traffic and such. The SV650 has AWESOME street power, is cheap to insure and being that there's quite a few on the road, cheap to repair.

I like them..they arent bad. I was looking into a gsxr as well, but I don't want to spend to much on a bike, the dual sports I can find used for $3k and they 600's about $7k for the same year model.
