  1. I have nothing but good to say about Iron Pony..I bought my bike there, and they treated me great, and I feel I got a fair deal.... Just a couple of weeks ago I took it back to get the ECU, and plugs changed per the service bulliton..They did a great job while I waited...I'm very impressed with Pony Powersports both the sales, and service departments personnell.. Good people !!!!
  2. I'm out....a Deals Gap trip just came up last night that weekend...
  3. I won't buy anything that isn't waterproof either....If you ride much you will be riding in rain. Gear is important to me, I have a ton from years of riding. I have a Firstgear Jaunt T2 jacket, that I can say is 100% waterproof, and has decent venting, I'll wear it until it gets in the 80's, then I'll wear a air jacket, I have a couple different ones, when it rains I put the waterproof liner on under it. I also have a Belstaff jacket that I wear a lot.. For pants I have a pair of Aerostitch Darian's, and a pair of Firstgear TPG's. Both 100% waterproof. I always wear them. When it's hot, you can unzip the sides, and open the vents, and wear shorts under them. For boots, I like Alpinestars Ridge...also 100% waterproof, I wear them all the time. I have several pairs of gloves. Below 70's or so, i wear waterproof Joe Rocket, or Alpinestars gloves, above 80's I wear air gloves.... When riding usually I don't even have to stop if it starts raining, unless it's hot, then I need to change gloves, and put on my liner.... Nothing worse than being wet/cold when riding...It took me many years to figure all of it out...I once road to Daytona in the early 70's with a Army Fatigue jacket, work gloves, and a Bell Star helmet in March...On a H1 Talk about miserable.....
  4. Won't be a problem....the last time we split it up into 3 groups, and I think it worked out well for everybody.......
  5. My Versys still is my favorite bike ever.........It's a perfect touring bike... If you want to run 80+ on the 4 lane it will do it. With a tail bag, and side bags it will haul a weeks worth of stuff with no problem... Great ergo's, nimble/great in the twisties, good on the interstate....A 650 is plenty IMO I like it far better than my DL1000... Downside would be 2 up riding, which I dislike anyway...
  6. My Vstrom is one of the few bikes that I've had that I really like the factory seat on.........Seats are very subjective, what's good for one, is bad for another. Like ergo's, windshields, etc. Hands down, the best aftermarket seat I've ever owned was made by Baldwin, several friends have them, and they like them also... http://www.motorbikesaddles.com/
  7. All I know is I ain't ridin' behind Jack ....Is it raining ?????
  8. He's buying a Hardley................jussayin'
  9. Having worked many years at a Toyota dealer.....I highly recomend a Tacoma, or any other Toyota truck....
