Hi new to Nissan NV community

Recommended Posts

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Wow. I need to buy a sport bike again. Miss track days and the thrill of a sport bike.

That's why I'm dragging my single life as long as I can. Once I reach that point I'll rather have a "happy wife happy life" status.

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.

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 ❤️

Not bad at all...

 

Track days and racing should be posted under events. Might just wake up this site!

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.

True. Maybe more entertaining...

 

Can anyone guess what year BLKR6’s van is. Possibly a 2012-13 SV?
