Bike, but not by much.
Up until this year it was bike by a fair margin for a span of 22 years.

I'd say my vehicle is worth more, but now that I think about it, the gap is closing with each year.

If someone has a bike (or bikes) thats worth more than their house, I'll be really impressed

My Car is worth more but maintenance is more on bikes.

Now my car is worth more but when I first started driving my bike was worth twice the amount me car was. Looking at picking up an old truck for getting the bikes around, if that happens the truck will be worth 1/3 of my bikes value.

Jon-boy.

They're about the same….Cove Stiffee and 1992 VW Golf. I think I've put a hair more cash into the Stiffee though….

I'm pretty sure the total value of the bikes is worth more than the current value of the truck. However if we had all the trailbuilding goodies he wants, that would be sitting at the top, untouchable.

Yup, my vehicle is just a means to get up the mountain with my chainsaw and trail building tools. Besides that I can live without a car, I don't mind carrying bags of groceries back home…but it's hard to carry a shovel, axe and chainsaw down the street and up the logging road without getting arrested!

definetly the truck, more money in motor mods to the truck than bikes. '05 Dodge Crewcab CTD on 35's full Banks package Six Gun w/Speed Loader.
my Jeep is much more, again more $$$ in mods than bikes. '03 Rubicon with too many mods to list.

Right now def. the bike. I really need a new vehicle, it seems that every day something else goes wrong. Perhaps I shouldn't have bought the new bike, but that wouldn't have been any fun would it. As long as it still gets me to work and up the mountain I'm okay.

Right now the car is worth more than my current bike and the dh/fr bike I'm getting in the next month or so, combined. But with depreciation on the car, according to my calculations, that should be reversed May 8th, 2008. :)

Car is more expensive.

Its WAY more expensive right now since my only fuctional ride is a $900 DJ'ing rig. But the new trail bike should check in at around $6000-$7500. That is, when its done. Got the frame, got the fork. Wheels were ordered, but the arival date has been pushed back a month :rolleyes: . Just need the small parts. Paycheck tomorrow should give a boost, and my birthday is coming up :D

But even still. With the new trail bike, plus the DJ rig, my car is worth more. BUt I didnt pay for my car. Mommy and Daddy did :lol:

Vehicle? What vehicle?!

besides i consider most cars to be the equivalent of the CCM special, so if i did buy one it would end up with a lot of expensive work.

They've got the guns but we've got the numbers! Gonna win ya we're takin over.
