bluebr65 · December 8th, 2011, 02:36 PM

frozen outside. y u no hurry summer?

pop0tart · December 8th, 2011, 04:00 PM

'11 Pitt Grad here...I lived on Atwood Street across from Mi Ranchito. Picked up my '08 ninjette in the south hills over the summer.

bluebr65 · December 9th, 2011, 06:30 AM

Used to party on Halket back in the day

Mekkakat · December 9th, 2011, 07:49 AM

hit me up in the spring. If I wasn't mid-move, I'd be riding till about January like last year haha

bluebr65 · December 11th, 2011, 10:42 AM

You got it dude, will do.

rph12 · December 20th, 2011, 02:05 AM

I'll be out every day above 35 I can. I rode back from Oakland on Sunday with just jeans on. Had to get off 79 north and take 19 back up to Cranberry where I'm from. I couldn't feel my knees when I got home. I'm hoping the rain goes away by the afternoon tmrw, I need my bike fix >.>

miss_syn · December 20th, 2011, 02:18 PM

The rain is the only thing killing it for me. I may not car on four wheels but I do not want to try ice on two wheels.

dk58 · December 21st, 2011, 06:52 PM

Do you guys in Oakland have places with garages? May be living there come fall and the place does not have a garage, so I'm not sure what I'll do. I certainly do not want to park on the street

miss_syn · December 22nd, 2011, 01:30 PM

In most places in Oakland barely have enough room for all the cars. Lots of college kids & theft.

If you're at Pitt, a motorcycle parking permit is cheap.

dk58 · December 24th, 2011, 08:09 AM

I'll have to look into the permit parking. Like I said, keeping it on the street is definitely not an option.

bluebr65 · December 27th, 2011, 02:20 PM

For all you Pittsburgh riders, if you ever need a place to work on the bike and have a cold one let me know, I have a full heated side access lower level to the house with good lighting.

Winter can be miserable, working on the bike shouldn't be. Let me know, place is on Mt. Wash. Cheers!

Mekkakat · December 27th, 2011, 02:22 PM

thanks for the hospitality man!

dk58 · December 27th, 2011, 04:55 PM

Appreciate the offer as well! Last winter I worked on the bike in my dining room, on brand new hardwood floors

bluebr65 · December 28th, 2011, 08:08 PM

Anytime gents! Got a full shop's worth of tools, stands, small lift, etc. Let me know

Since you've got time on your side, you can find a place with a garage if you're willing to look hard enough. A fair amount of places on Meyran street have garages on the side that faces the alley between Atwood and Meyran, but be careful as some of them don't seem to have garage doors, so they're essentially carports. One place on 351 Atwood has a nice little 1 car garage you might want to look into:

rph12 · December 28th, 2011, 09:33 PM

Anyone here have experience painting pregens? I'm kinda interested in possibly doing my dark blue 05 all over in pearl white. Hmmm...

dk58 · December 29th, 2011, 10:04 AM

I appreciate the info. Unfortunately, if I end up going through with it, I will be moving into an apartment without a garage that my friends are already renting. I do have a few friends that live in buildings with parking garages, so I may be able to work something out with them.

bluebr65 · December 29th, 2011, 01:21 PM

I fuc%^#*g hate winter. Had to post again lol.

miss_syn · December 29th, 2011, 01:41 PM
