  1. Hello Crazy Eyes. I've missed you.
  2. Agree. Hiked the desert/hills through there. Fantastic scenery.
  3. How do they get a whale to blow in that bottle?
  4. Honestly, that Victory is so comfortable, I don't know if I could trade it out.
  5. When I was in the market for my new bike 3 years ago, it was between the Rocket III, Diavel, and Cross Roads. The way I was treated and the nature of the deal pushed me to the Victory at The Pony. Great to see you guys moving on that Ducati business.
  6. If you miss out, let me know. I'd be happy to let you take mine for a spin....on the down-low of course.
  7. I disagree. It's the country folk in the big city that screw it up. Golly Jim-bob, traffic was fine during rush hour. I just stayed in the left lane and there wasn't a soul in front of me". Quarter-Horse Congress is my favorite time though....all the idiots come to the big city with the trailers. If you don't have a place to be during rush hour, stay out of my city. Please.
  8. Everything works better under a little throttle. Don't use your legs at slow speed, give it a little juice to move it. I was used to mine before I left the IP parking lot when I bought it. That being said, I felt like I want going to dump it trying to move it out of it's space. Using a floorboard instead of a peg was odd at first, but I can't imagine not having boards now. As said, don't overthink it.
  9. OR lists are created to be disregarded in order to make room for tangent discussions that inevitably end in butthurt.
  10. Don't count yourself out of the Gap. Some ride for the adrenaline....some ride for the scenery. Im not going, but I've been a few rides and haven't felt a bit bad about hanging back and enjoying the view.
  11. I joke....kind of. Once kids are in the picture, it all changes. Putting two in car seats, you start loving the idea of sliding van doors. That being said, I've since graduated from the mini-van and haven't looked back. For a small daily....I would look at a Corolla or Civic. Can't go wrong with either.
  12. New wife...new house....no bike.... Stop lying to yourself. It's time for the Honda Odyssey.
  13. I fill up every time. I take the miles driven and divide by the gallons filled. Sure, there may be a small deviation if a particular pump doesn't top off as well as another, but pretty consistent for the most part. My bike gets about 38-40 (my FZ6 consistently got 50). My Pilot about 19.
  14. Thank you. As for your third point though, I haven't changed the way I do it.
  15. My '94 Sentra consistently got 42-44MPG. Wife's '89 Tercel got a bit better than that. So what did we do to screw up our cars so 28 is considered great now? I think the Prius only gets like 48-50.
  16. Honestly, I'd rather have my old Nighthawk 250 back.
  17. I don't know if I'd trade the one I have, but I wouldn't trade it for anything else either. That being said, if the range was decent, I'd buy one.
  18. Agreed on the FZ6. They are fantastic do-alls. Wish I would have kept it and had 2 bikes.
  19. Welcome! What brings you to Oxford?

    Have a great time! But seriously...be careful in the New York/Jersey/DC Metro areas. Be aggressive and almost predatory with your riding. Edit...you're not going through DC I see. Your route looks pretty relaxing actually.

    Everything between VA and Maine can blow me.
  22. My thought too. I've seen enough SOA to know that high speed Harley chases are quite common.
