BLKR6 Posted April 25, 2020 Hi All. My name is Anthony from Virginia. I just purchased a NV2500 V8 with 130k miles. Ran in to her during pandemic boredom facebook market place browsing. Next few weeks I'll be transforming her in to a man cave. I will be using this van to store my tools and transporting my motorcycles. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

andy_george Posted April 26, 2020 Awesome. My brother had a CB1000 years ago that I rode a few times. We raced in the early 2000’s on an R6. Always good times! 1 radin2son reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had a 2005 R6 for 10 years. One of the best motorcycles I have ever owned. Many crashes, track days and also used as a commuter bike. 1 radin2son reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aztec Posted April 26, 2020 I've already crashed my 10r twice and it's still on break in oil. Track mule. We are getting back to it next month. Riverside county CA has ok'd track days and racing so Chuckwalla is on. Also Buttonwillow is apparently a go. 1 radin2son reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andy_george Posted April 26, 2020 Lol, I’m jealous of you both! My riding days are behind me, as the wife suggested I stick to 4 wheels so I could take the family more often lol. 1 radin2son reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Once I reach that point I'll rather have a "happy wife happy life" status. 1 1 andy_george and radin2son reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

radin2son Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) OK. Where are the photos, past and present? Make sure your NV is in the photo... Edited April 27, 2020 by radin2son Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aztec Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) They only photos I take are of print I have to zoom in to read. lol That thumbnail is all I have left of that Desmo image. The guy who took it is long gone. Maybe somewhere I have a bigger one. Made me famous for a 15 minutes. Edited April 27, 2020 by aztec 1 radin2son reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andy_george Posted April 27, 2020 We didn’t have the NV during my racing days, unfortunately. But here’s some racing pics just so I feel cool again lol. Top 2 are my Suzuki SV650 I sprint raced (me in the middle) and the bottom is the R6 we endurance raced. Our garage is lined up with dusty trophies that hold an incredible amount of great memories 1 radin2son reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

radin2son Posted April 28, 2020 Not bad at all... Track days and racing should be posted under events. Might just wake up this site! 1 andy_george reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aztec Posted April 29, 2020 What's needed to wake up this site is for Nissan to build crappy vans like the Transit. Then everyone will need the community knowledge base to address solutions to the design failures which plague those vans. 2 GoNV and andy_george reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
radin2son Posted April 29, 2020 True. Maybe more entertaining... Can anyone guess what year BLKR6’s van is. Possibly a 2012-13 SV? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
