  1. Wow, you just got the thing.... That's definately a coveted 5th gen. GL Gary
  2. Hate hate hate... very cool dude.
  3. +1 ---> HD contracted Porsche to do the engine design....
  4. 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)
  5. 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.
  6. 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:
  7. 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
  8. Amazing, mbe the bimmers wife isnt giving him any? What an a hole....
  9. 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:
  10. Welcome fellow viffer dude.........
  11. I think there is a fairing interference issue with convertibars in a certain position. You might jump over the VFRD to ask the question. Here's a pic of the LSL job on a 6th.... There's lots of different bars you could try. I think if I had a viffer than I wanted to convert to more of a tourer, I'd do the bar job. (You'll need to buy the longer cables from convertibars.) Your probably thinking 2 up with the wife too? (This is FotoMoto's bike) Other than that, I'm a low bar guy, I have lower than stock 4th gen bars on my 5th gen. I think higher bars make it more difficult to get down for body positioning in corners. Also I find it comfortable anyway.
  12. Get outta the way when the shit starts flying! lol
  13. Maybe we need to write our state reps and senators to pass legislation to overturn this? The noise worked on the "street racing" issue, maybe it can work on the visual speeding issue.
  14. I got 10k out of the stocker Dunlop D206s on my Valkyrie, and replaced them again with the D206s. Only got 6k on the front this time and rear is going on 8k and just about gone. (Kinda weird the front went before the rear this time.) ------I hear Avons are the hot cruiser tire. I'm going that way this go 'round.
  15. The last time I tried out one of them, sat a bit and it started to feel like I had a load of your know what in my pants. Um - I'll pass. ---- I'm back to nothing beats a good corbin seat.
  16. Super nice vid - damn I gotta get over to WV again......
  17. I have a Qualifier on the front and a RoadSmart in the rear. No complaint on the RoadSmart.
  18. oh well - missed the first go 'round...
  19. http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/ohio-news/estimates-ok-for-speeding-tickets-court-rules-741192.html Now cops can just say you looked like you are speeding, throw out the laser and radar.... what bullshit.......

  21. I lean conservative and somewhat libertarian. --- It seems that Rand Paul has some foot n mouth disease. The guy could stand some polish.
  22. Tell em they're smoking something fine......
  23. ^^^ I would start here at the ebay http://motors.shop.ebay.com/Motorcycles-/6024/i.html?Make=Honda&_dmpt=US_motorcycles&_mqf=0&_qfkw=1&_trksid=p4506.c0.m273&_myi=2007&_fpos=45459&_lsbx=0&_fspt=0&_flso=0&Model=Interceptor Then sign up and give a head up that you are looking at VFRD.com Good luck, it may take a little bit of time and even be out of state.
