Oh i would definitely do the diesel before a bike. I rode for a long time, i was tired of thinking "is today going to be the day?"

Have you thought about an enduro bike at all. They are easier to learn on and you can use them on or offroad. Like this XR650R.

Good call. If I got another bike, this would likely be the way I'd go.

First off what is the price range. Then we can go from there. If I were going to get a bike again I would look for a Triumph Daytona 675. Great power, light, easy to ride. They are a little pricey compared to a Gsxr but much easier to ride. I had two bikes in my past one Gsxr 1000 and one Gsxr 750 they are fun and very fast bikes but kinda scary.

You're not allowed to buy a bike until the Mach 1 has a Kenne Bell and you have an F250 Diesel.

This is more where I am leaning. The 7.3L F250 Crew Cab, 2WD or 4WD, Short bed in silver, white, DSG or red under 200K around $12K seems to be a unicorn.

Edit:Little higher mileage but possibility if they still have it

Buell, I should have bought one when I wanted it. You can't get them new anymore, so used is your only option. I still want one.

Out of curiosity, what you want a big truck for?

I always want a truck in my stable and the extra cab does not fit a child seat well. When I watched my niece years ago it just did not work well, so that is why the crew cab. I also would like to some day have have some toys that need hauling so a diesel will give me that power and the gas mileage is much better than a gas engine. On top of everything else the diesel will for sure go 300K plus.

Well a heavy/super duty diesel is the way to go then. Buy well and the damn thing really should last a lifetime if maintained.
