Am I crazy?
 

Here's the deal:

I love riding my motorcycle, even though it's nothing special. Lately, I haven't been able to ride because its oil leak got worse and it started leaking raw fuel from the far left carb. Not really big issues, I just didn't want to mess with them in a hot as hell garage. I started looking into the oil leak the night before last and will probably get it finished up this weekend.

The bike is a 96 Honda Magna 750 that I paid $2300 for about a year or so ago. It's current value is around $2300 according to typical "value" sites but I know they go for much more right now because of fuel prices and it's riding season.

Here's the other side of things:

I miss my first truck. I don't know if it was the simplicity of it all since vehicles were much more simple back then or maybe I'm just getting all sappy about how much fun I had in it. Either way, I want another square body S-10. The short term plans would be small mods and maybe paint. The long term would be an LS motor and an autocross setup (WAY down the line). I desperately want to find a nice square body now because they are getting more and more rare as time goes by.

Now, back when I had this thing I never worked on it myself, I didn't know jack about what to do to it, and I was always chasing what others had already done. I had it painted, had the motor replaced when it blew, had the trans replaced, ran two different sets of wheels and had (literally) three times the trucks value in the sound system.

What I'm getting at is that I'm thinking of either selling the bike or trying to trade it for a square body S10...am I crazy?

Here is one that I found with potential...ignore the paint and such and try to see it as a canvas for what I want to do...

Looks like a great truck to start with!

I think so too. I don't know that he is at all interested in a trade, but I honestly think if he emails me back and says yes, I'll be in Tulsa at some point this weekend. I just don't know if I'll be happier with a truck for a toy or miss the bike more.

That's a tough call! They would both be fun toys.

Bikes like that are a dime a dozen too, you can always find a good bike for 2 grand, but not so much on the clean s-10!

Damn you Tim...that's a hell of a point.

Fast ass S-10... hell yeah

Not for a while Colton, but after a few years maybe.

Ahh, go ahead and get one man. It would be an awesome project truck and you would be happier tha a pig in mud..

You got my vote D.

Thanks buddy. I am now in talks with the owner...got a couple issues to work out. I really wish he was closer...right now I have to drive two hours just to look it over.
