Looking at the truck, if you can part with the quickness of the bike, I honestly think you should go for it.

Here in Idaho you only get a few months to ride a bike but you can drive a truck year round.

If it is fast you should make the trade...my opinion only, but it's honest as I can be.

Your A man after my own heart .
If the milage is good on the truck and if it hasnt been underwater the deal might be close .On A resale point the stick is A downfall.

Avery this is what I do. I get some paper and write out all the +/- on the two things that I think I want. But you have to be very honest with yourself and than you will do the right thing in your mind. Let us know what you did and it looks like a nice truck. Wesley

Nice looking truck Avery even for a Ford, but so is the bike....Probably do like the woodsman said myself but he ain't mentioned the part where at the top of the +/- list that you write down what the other half wants you to do...Makes list alot shorter and also makes up your mind faster...If they say, "Oh I don't Care" then DO NOT TRADE :!: You will hate yourself every time you walk into her room, her house, her car, her air....Also it will always be "you think more of that truck/bike than you do me"...Now, Can I get a hell yea :?:

Well Avery sounds like it is time right now for you to get the helmet and go for a ride and decide which YOU want...A family man deserves some things of his own for the effort and devotion it takes to be a good family man...Look at all the goodies Mark has 8) .....He deserves them all...

I am looking to buy a 76 Nova, and it has a soft top... does any one know if the soft top can be removed and turned into a hardtop, or is it much more to it than that?

You should be able to just peel the old vinyl off and assorted trim, do any body work then enjoy. It's still steel. 8)

Avery i shouldn't be posting to this thread, but i'm an old man who has lived out west for over 20 yrs before moving back to the deep south. Bikes are the norm out there because of the weather.
i donot like Fords as a norm, but at the same time i know what bike crashes can do, and every biker is there for the taking. I work at a company where ther are 12 employees. There are 5 Harleys and 1 Hbusa owed there, but i see cars driven mostly to work, even in 90 degree weather.
Bottom line and you said it, i have a wife and 2 little girls, i know you and i have never met but there are 2 kinds of bike riders, those that have been down and those that are going down. There's no in between, you will go down, it's just how much damage will you substain.
I am by no means suggesting that you trade for the truck, i just think you are in a dangerous arena with the bike, and you have responsibilities to your family to not put yourself in that arena. O'k i've been tough on you, i'm an ex desert racer and have died about 3 times, but never riden the street, because it's not me it's the none caring traffiuc comming at me.
Sorry if i came on strong, but i have seen what can happen on the street, and i donot trust what i would have to face in everyday traffic.

WoW!! you gonna gonna hate me, but i'll tell you what, i'll pay your life ins. policy if you will make me your benificery.

ya like zip i don't like to say much on this kinda thing because a man should have what he wants and works for but i will say this i have a lot of friends that ride bikes and i use to myself until that faithful day when it rode me and i was lucky to walk away and have never ridden since don't get me wrong i like to ride and miss it very much but there again i do have a wife and a son and three grand kids that i love very much and enjoy being with them . so if you keep your bike be very careful and watch the others my wreck and a very good friend of mine now is paralysed from a bike wreck was caused by others so take care and be safe . sorry to post things like this but hate to see anyone hurt doing something they love.

I LIKE BIKES BUT CAN'T STAND THE PRESSURE FROM THE OTHER DRIVERS IN VEHICLES OR THE STUPID ACTING BIKERS WHO GET WAY TO CARELESS AROUND YOU GOING DOWN THE ROAD :shock: :shock: --I HAVE PUT SOME GOOD FRIENDS IN THE GROUND FROM THE IDIOTS OUT THERE OR FROM THEIR OWN DRINKING AND RIDING DRUNK :evil: :evil: COMMON SENSE AND DEFENSIVE DRIVING HAS TO PREVAIL 8) 8) BE CAREFUL :? :?

I haven't been on one since August 18th 1985. That was the day my best friend died in a wreck on a bike.
