Nope, the obstoyatelstvo has changed so im keeping it for a bit longer.
detail supplies..? Don't you get those at work?
No, at work i Work on cars, Detailing is my own thing i do on the side, it just happeneds that i end up doing it at work on the weekend or something.
Tires... look on craigslist everyday. After looking for 6 months I picked up all 4 Michelin for $100
Yeah my x5 tires i just use used ones from work, but the Pcar tires are harder to find and i want a fresh set, they are cheap anyway.
Russian Plates- Just smuggle them, put it in baggage underneath your stuff or on the side, or ship them from Russia.
Im trying to find some, but you cant really unless you steal it off of someones car. Potomushto nomer i mashina eshe na uchete stoit i nalogi platutsa
Rebuild- That sounds fun! Dont know how hard it is working with the engine in the trunk though. Good Luck and take pics and make a write up on the engine rebuild.
Dont worry ill take lots of pics :thumbup: and actually it takes about 30 minutes to drop the entire engine out of the car. and thanks!
new watch? I'll sell you my seiko. I dont like wearing watches as they get heavy for my small wrist.

ponyatno, and ukraine is a bit different with the laws. They charge gas tax instead of other fees. Makes more sense if you dont drive that much.

And that's awesome! I want to get a Porsche once i get some money and time on my hands.

Insure it as an antique?

yes term is right, i have russian blood, But When I own something... I take care of it and
I lose that haulazz mentality, I'd rather keep my bike in one piece.

thank you everyone for the info. I will take the course, read the books, buy the right bike, and ride without regrets.

I personally known a kid, buys a R6, goes crazy doing tricks like standing on top of the bike at high speeds. Well 2 months later he dies because he couldnt take a turn at 90mph on the back roads.

You cant say all bikes are bad and kill people. The time comes to all of us, sometimes it just happens to be on a bike for some. Not saying it's not the riders fault in this either.

Hey Term: can you get a fun job like that?

thanks everyone! Who knew the X5 community has bikers.
