mello dude

I had a 1983 GW standard (no fairings) about 5 years ago. It had 9000 miles when I first got it. Bought it for $3000, rode it about 8000 miles, and 2 years later sold it for $3200. --- Lots of Honda non-sport bikes seem to hold value very well.

Beautiful Porsche. I drove one a few years back. Wow! - What a sound at full bore..

I waaannnnnntt. Make mine silver.

Can you do an easy CAD model for a CNC mill job? PM me if interested. Might be some quick bucks.

So its a drink and ride event.. it doesnt sound like a good idea to me. You could end up being this guy..... http://www.whiotv.com/news/23930240/detail.html

Dustin -- Could you handle a tire job on a highly polished cruiser wheel without messing it up? Also balancing wise - can you use the "clip on" style weights that mount on the center ridge of the wheel? (Yeah, I'm talking about my big ass Valky beast.) - its the real wheel...

So what are you replacing it with? (Let's see.. FJR1300? ST1300? Gold Wing?...)

I go there most times - buy tires online and head to TU for mounting.. Price is 30 bucks a tire. I rarely have had a problem with them. Once in a great while, the front balance job is a bit off, but when I take it back for rebalance they nail it. (btw - wheel off bike.) So --- 4 stars (out of 5) for service. I buy my car tires there too.

Wow, you just got the thing.... That's definately a coveted 5th gen. GL Gary

Hate hate hate... very cool dude.

+1 ---> HD contracted Porsche to do the engine design....

Its never been my kind of scene but dumb ass question - so how does a poker run work? (Yeah I know how to play poker)

Looks interesting, I gotta admit I want to grab another 4th gen and tour it out. (Loved my old one) - Those bars seem kinda wide. is that just illusion? -Suggestion - throw a throttle rocker on it for the long haul, its nice to have an open palm to keep the throttle open and saves any grip fatigue. +1 for Speigler, great guys.

I'm super cheap on cars, I just hate shelling out big money for them. You know the classic line of finding a car driven by the little old lady only on Sundays? - thats what I go after. My most recent find is a 1990 Accord - 95K miles . Even the body is pretty damn good on it. Paid 2000 bucks. --- heh heh, saves more money for motorcycles and stuff. :grin:

Fonzie - you dont know me from Adam, but on any used car purchase the first thing to do is get a hold of a Consumer Reports book with the used car section in it. (Its available online too, but I think it requires a fee. - find a friend that has it.) --It has "frequency of repair" data for all the major manufacturers. The sections are broken down into various areas - engine/brakes/electrically/body etc. - Its very good for indications of reliabilty. Myself I buy used Hondas - generally grab 'em at around 100k miles and run 'em to 200k miles. Very reliable cars. Good luck

Amazing, mbe the bimmers wife isnt giving him any? What an a hole....

Well if money no object...(Just 2 ?? Screw that!) -Ducati Desmosedici -MV Augusta F4R 312 --Still think its the most beautiful sport bike on the planet -BMW S1000RR -Yamaha FJR1300 -Triumph Speed Triple -A second 5th gen VFR800 with the Toro supercharger and Ohlin forks and shocks.. - Custom chopper with new Triumph parrallel twin - Any of the older V4 two stroke GP bikes - RC750 - Husqvarna STR650 CRC - jeez, this one looks fun! --BMW HP2 Sport.... And finally --- A highly equiped, big huge ass garage to hold it all....:roll:

Welcome fellow viffer dude.........
