mello dude

No problem, just pointing it out. Sometimes if I have a choice between the China product or elsewhere, I'll pick the elsewhere. Although its damn hard nowadays to try to buy non - china products.

Kenda - made in China....

I checked Blue Book and it lists for $2200 in top condition. -- Pass youll lose money.

Dudes - plz buy this book as a start.... http://www.amazon.com/Sport-Riding-Techniques-Develop-Confidence/dp/1893618072/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1314245791&sr=1-1

I have a '99 Valkyrie. I like bikes that are kinda unusual and funky weird and the Valky fits the bill. Six cylinder, six carbs, mondo torque. More torque at 1800 rpm than the viffer at peak. Whack the throttle and it moves --NOW. Mean sounding engine.... Good handling and brakes. A couch for a seat and ez ergos.. - Yeah, I like it.

Your in the dillema I discovered years back - I like both sport riding and cruiser riding. Having two style of riding available is a great way to go. I go thru cycles of doing 75% cruise/25% sport and then maybe a while where I'm 80% sport and only 20% cruiser. I went bonkers a while back when I spent the better part of a year with my VFR down for mods. I have found if I have only one or the other - I miss the one I dont have. Try keeping your TL a while and see how it goes. Of course with a new bike you wil want to play with that for the most part at first, but maybe the urge for some sporting work will tug at you and if you dont have that handy you'll regret it.

^^^^ I think if a buddy from out of state said he's flying in and renting a VFR and take him out on the best motorcycle loop in Ohio, this would be it.

I like your idea - we could make it 50 must do Ohio motorcycle loops and have a map for each loop.....

270, 275, 71, 77, 70, 161, 271, 23, 470, 670, 675, 90, 490, 76, 80, 480, 33, 16, 40, 256, 310, 62, 3, 605, 37 Ok dude if you insist - 270 (cbus), 275 (cincy), interstate 71, interstate 77, 271 (cleve), 675 (dayton bypass, my backyard), 90 & 80 (ohio turnpike), interstate 76, 33 (cbus to athens, ok for a cruise ride) There's my been on list - ok if your in a cage, boring on a motorcycle. -Well I admit one very early sunday morning I did 675 at about a buck fourty, that was entertaining.... There's plenty of great motorcycle roads in this thread that are way more entertaining.

Obama ear gang

Most of those are Interstate or bypass - wouldnt put them on a best list...

Moxnews - unfair and biased ---- lol!

Thanks - great vid -- And Rick Perry wants to execute the chairman of the Fed, whose the whackjob now?

Still hilarious............ http://sports.yahoo.com/nascar/blog/from_the_marbles/post/Video-Two-cycles-dance-in-the-funniest-wreck-of?urn=nascar-wp2122

I read it - its argueing - what ifs, possibilties, and maybes. And even if the Pentagon is cut 800 billion, that's over 10 years = 80 B a year, a piss in the bucket. I'm not anti gun, but you might as well worry that the sky is falling.

If your at 14ish at idle and still 14 - 15 at 5000 rpm your good to go. Over 15 I would start to be conserned and below 13 at idle I would start watching it. See what your manual says, but a steady 14.3v is a good thing. --- Oh yeah, put a good overnite 18 hour trickle charge on the battery before you test. Go through your connections and clean them good and you should be fine.

If somebody has been witness to the guy having stolen property in his house - call the police now?

- I like the balanced budget idea, but spend the effort to make it a Consitutional requirement? Dunno on that one, I would rather have term limits. The recent debacle on the debt ceiling reinforces that one. - A balance budget instantly today? Dunno how to do that one either. SS is $700 billion and medicare/medicaid is another $700 billion, defense is $650B and interest on the debt is in the $220B range. So that consumes the 2.2 trillion we take in now and leaves no bucks for the other 20 or so bureaucracys. (Education, Labor, Justice, Energy, etc...) - Then about a dozen years out, SS and medicare will consume all the incoming revenue of the US at the present rate. So between now and then, Washington needs to change their ways or its gonna be nasty.

Well you know if you threw a FZ1 and an RC51 in a blender, the bike that it would spit out would be a VFR..

:lol::lol:

Sweet! Knees and elbows......
