what year is your truck....i have a 94 BASIC nissan pick up...no ac, no power steering, and a manual but no tachometer...also a car pulled out in front of me on thanksgiving this last year and i hit it so the front right is crunched in some

so i'd say my bike is worth more than my truck...just not worth more than my wrx

It's close for my bike car...97 Honda CRV -- kbb $3500 vs Giant Trance X

My bikes* combined are probably worth about the value of our cars.

Mine are about even at this point, at least for my most expensive bike. But if you count all the bikes in my stable, I'm way more invested in my bikes than my truck, even back when I bought it.

Oh yeah.

Karpiel Apocalypse
'07 SC Bullit
'08 Giant Glory

1988 Ford Econoline E150 Conversion Van.

No contest. All of them are worth more. But I love my van.

that's why we drink it here
Are we going for the highest single bike-to-vehicle ratio? Because I think I'm a contender.

Bike: ~$3500


Truck: ~$1400


That's a 2.5:1 ratio. Anyone beat that?

You know, you're starting to piss me off bragging about how much you got that truck for.
I know I got a deal. I've never even considered owning a Ford before this truck, but I have to say I'm quite happy with it. I can't wait to add some mods, too.

Hmmm.... 2004 Subaru Forester with some "cosmetic issues" and about 75K miles

vs.

Empella Bonfire CX bike
Mountain Cycle 9.5
Cannondale Prophet
Kona Muni Mula
Trek hybrid

I think my car is worth more. That should tell you something about the state of my bikes.

You bike is the cosmetic embodiment of the news I have been waiting to hear. Does Doc plan on producing anything similar to the FQ at Superco? I know he is concentrating on getting a race-specific offering to market as soon as possible but I am really hoping that he gives us an incredible playbike like the FQ at some point in the future.

The total of my bikes is worth way more than my car, but even my newest single bike is worth more than my car.
2008 Turner Highline - $3600
1999 Chevy Lumina LTZ - KBB value $1785

Hoping to change that soon though...

i think he's concentrating on releasing the Silencer first...which is a big undertaking in its own
