I am a computer hardware tech, so if you like I can dumb down your PC to Windows XP. We hate Vista too! Personally I like Linux better.

Is it still possible to get legit copies of XP to replace Vista?

Yes and no - OEM distributors may still have copies, and some retail shops do still have copies for sale - in Canada, Tiger Direct sells the XP Home version via their internet store for example. Legal copies of XP Pro are not readily available. If you don't have a big investment in MS dependant software then the Ubuntu version of Linux is free and works very well - I have it installed on 5 machines here at home.

So Eric, what's the verdict? Which one will it be?

I'm going to be in Knoxville early next month, we need to try to set up a time to meet somewhere in between Knoxville and your place.

Seems to be a toss up between the 750, 500 and 250 right now. Need some more coaxing.

i have a soft spot for the smaller bikes, and by the sound of it the 250 should be a quick resto....if there is such a thing

Eric,

You just finished a stock Cobra and slightly custom 750, so what lights your fire? Something wild or something completely different.

Your GT project is wild enough and will take work, but the 1100 sounds like an easy project with lots of scope for upgrades should you so choose. It's Old Skool just as it is.

So what is it that burns in your heart - a small 250 street racer. a 500 custom, a 750 streetfighter or a bruiser 1100? Maybe a dirt track look on the 250 with high pipes or street scrambler look.

Perhaps a 500 super motard with motor way up there and 17" slicks, high pipes up each side?

What talks to you ?

There is no doubt that a GT750 street fighter is the way to go...
