Ahhhh,, the summer of 14,,, ADVENTURE SERVED UP GORMET STYLE!!!!
cowpuc replied to cowpuc's topic in Watering Hole
Glad you and wife are enjoying the ride along PB!! Gooooood question on the affect,, I assure you that my intent was to help drag us all thru these winter months and get us all back on the road with some sense of sanity!!! I do see your point though.... Last year I did this and got lots of response,, all the way into summer time, from folks who said they really appreciated me waiting till winter to post up ride reports.. If folks have changed (and we do over time) and I get tarred and feathered this year for posting these up and causing ride anxiety I PROMISE I will do it earlier for the 2015 season!!!

thanks jeff!! -
I agree PB!! While history does help,, its ALWAYS best to really go over any used bike purchase with eyes wide open no matter what your told.. In the end,, its you who is going to be putting your life on the line while going down the highway on the bike...

What da heck,, we're all friends here so I think I will hijack another thread,,, I have never owned a Yam v-4 that didnt have a whine.. All of my 1st Gens have had the clutch whine up to around 3 grand.. I know for a fact that all the older V-Max's have it too.. I have actually liked it - gives em a sound all their own.. That said,, I KNOW lots of you guys have owned both 1st and 2nd Gens.. Is there a major difference in the "normal" everyday "whine" of the V-4's I have come to love and the "whine" of the newer 2nd Gens?? If so, maybe the gear lash is set to tight and thats what makes the whine more and also makes em slower than the 1st Gens:yikes: Also,, I built up a Twin Cam Harley with a gear driven Super Charger once,,, talk about SING to ya!! If your sensitive to whines and whiring sounds dont ever go there!!!

Well guys,, I just got off the phone with who sounds like a very promising buyer for Olivia .. The person is located in Ohio and, get this,, he does Military re-inactments:thumbsup:!!! He has a Jeep, an Ambulance and all kinds of other stuff.. The gentleman is around my age and sounded very very sincere and passionate about being involved in the support of all Veterans!! If this person does end up providing Olivia with a new home, it sounds like she will be going to a place where she and her history will be honored and loved:301:!! AND,,she will continue to be used - not stuffed in a museum somewhere - wayyy cool:big-grin-emoticon:!! I am gonna give the buyer a link to our site, maybe he will take advantage of a trial membership here, jump on and say howdy and reassure all of us Olivia lovers that she is going to a good home (sounded like our kinda folk gang!!)!! If nothing else, it was a blessing and refreshing just talking to him!! -
Guilty yes,, consience,, got have a mind left for that so:happy-emoticon: not so much

Never!! Snow cones for everyone on das Fool!!

Raggies thinkin about motorhomes,, he could call a dealer with a half a million dollar unit on his lot, dress up in a tux and a top hat and stop and look at the unit, tell the sales guy he has a couple people he wants to show it to and get permission than we all gather at the lot and have a Meet N Greet in a 500 thousand dollar motorhome at the dealership.. I will bring hot dogs, buns and will take pictures and write a story about it.. Bongo can bring drinks, Buckshot can bring chips and cole slaw, Carbon One can call the police and tell them someone stole his new Slingshot and he saw them headed north towards the bridge so the police will not be in the area during our Meet N Greet. Habfan can be our point man and report back here at the club house (VR) in case we need bailout money. The southern boys can be our backup to deliver the bailout cash if the Michigan State Police dont take Paypal.. The west coast chapter of our gang can be on standby for collecting and mailing survival food (Banana Nut Ice Cream from Leatherby's) if the whole thing backfires...

Oh yea baby gotta whole lot a flippin goin on,,, we are an in one door and out the other society... Look everything over real well, as long as it has a clear title and it looks/rides and feels like its the real deal - I wouldnt be afraid of it.. As with anything though, I would go over it with a fine tooth comb - looking at nuts and bolts to see if things have been replaced/repaired, just make sure it looks straight.. Could also be the very reason the guy traded it in was so he didnt have to talk to others about it.. There are people who just dont like dealing with others,, I had a friend who had a shop that all he did was handled consignment bikes... It was amazing what he made off consignments just cause people didnt want to have to talk to others... Sure looks like a pretty bike to me Lenny BUT,, the real story can only be told by seeing it in person!!
