Howdy. Went looking for a mid-sized truck yesterday for hauling motorcycles. They had a 2001 Cherokee Limited on the lot, 80000 miles. I went home with the Jeep instead of a truck. Well, I guess I can get a trailer for hauling the bikes.

Anyhow, Jeep is in really nice shape, pretty sound mechanically (needs the A/C charged). Might set it up for some really light off-roading, but that's never been my thing, so who knows.

Anyhow, howdy!

Welcome. I grew up in Franklin, TN. Cherokee and I are out west now though.

I actually first bought my XJ in order to carry a motorcycle. Believe it or not a little 250 Ninja will fit laying down in the back (horrible idea though)

Ha! My wife's bike is a Ninja 250.

Just curious, how do tall people get comfortable in these? Still jockeying around the settings on the seat.

The Ninja 250s are fun.

I gotta say, I'm really pleased that the search function actually works. Too many sites where it comes back with useless information.

I learned to drive bikes on the Ninja. That thing is weightless when over 100 mph.
