Is anyone else interested in cars and motorsport?

Anyone with knowledge on this bike?

I saw one in someone's yard and I was wondering if it would be sensible if I bought it.
So they sell for 8-12 grand on the used market depending on condition. If it's in good shape and you can flip it, might be worth it. Or if you want to ride it. If it's hammered, finding parts may be trouble.

The one I saw didn't look to be damaged externally, but I have seen it there for more than a year so it might have engine problems.
 
Is anyone here an expert on detailing? I have some questions about getting cat dander out of the interior of a minivan.
Only Lil detailing secret i have is use an aircompressor with a tight blower attachment like this for everything inside the car. All the cracks and crevices and the carpet. Gets alot of stuff out

Got to change the starter on the tundra. I wish it was under by the transmission and accessible like most others but no, Toyota decid3d to put it under the intake on top. Which meant everything on the top of the engine had to come off first. That was fun, and while in there I changed the 2 knock sensor too that was right next to it.
 
Today there is an enduro motorcycle event going by our house. Memories from the 70s when I rode a Yamaha 250 Enduro. We never saw a paved road. With all the closed roads and restrictions half their ride is roadway and you better be tagged, registration and insurance. I LOVE NJ. :mad:
 
Hallo! I'm not really independently into vehicles myself, but my husband rather much is and has at least sparked some sort of interest in me.
We were never a "car" family, so I've had fun learning some really basic things from him - and getting to hop on the motorcycles!
Husband's current project is an '04 Lincoln Towncar. I mostly "help" by listening to him talking about all of his plans for it, haha. It's going to be getting a V8 from a suburban at some point eventually. He also has some plans for my '03 Towncar, but just simple things for improving handling and feel, not actual performance. I don't need horsepower, I just wanna feel like my three-tonne luxury grandma boat is as light as a feather, which a throttle body swap has already much improved. :D
We have a couple of motorcycles, both Suzis. I got a couple of parking lot lessons on the farm bike but that's definitely on hiatus until after baby comes, and I may get to ride again next Spring or Summer.
All of this stuff is fun and new to me, since my family never even touched brakes on our cars growing up, and other motorized vehicles basically didn't exist. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ It's fun to get adopted into a hobby.
ETA: We don't do Motorsports, but husband has dreams of putting the kids on dirt bikes and letting them do all kinds of whatnot, which I think sounds like a blast.
