At least ya'll can get corvettes from the year you were born and not have the worst corvette ever made. 1984 was the one and only year for the cross fire fuel injection.

if it is a feb bike, it is a 33 hour ride home... lots of time for camping and seeing people along the way. 2,146 miles would be about 4 days if I want to take it easy.

http://youngstown.craigslist.org/mcy/4550123411.html hopefully this will be a Feb bike.

Dang, talk about getting every mile out of a tire.

Sorry puc, that is an 8.5 hour drive for me with only 3 hours of notice. I hope some of the guys and gals from that area show up.

I am looking all over the country, so I will probably find it far north or Far East. Then it will take a plane trip and a lot of tent camping to get the bike home. That is something stories are made of. Sight unseen buying a bike flying to get it, and trusting it for the 1500+ trek back home. I think I may be crazy or stupid, or a good fun mixture of both.

Dang the purty blue one is a 09/83. Still looking.

http://appleton.craigslist.org/mcy/4506723063.html This guy needs to hurry up and get back to me. this is quite possibly the most beautiful 1st gen I have ever seen. I love the color. I hope it is a February bike.

yeah, Tweeks is running low on places to put stickers, so I figured I will add to the stuff hanging off of Tweeks.

And I finished the Oregon State Parks sticker. http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j169/coffeyR6/Venture%20West%202014/F5A365C8-84DC-455D-A741-113E5229E8E6.jpg

Just finished some shopping for Tweeks http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j169/coffeyR6/Venture%20West%202014/BAF36F69-9465-4E62-B6C0-D38A2C26FAF7.jpg http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j169/coffeyR6/Venture%20West%202014/FB271933-1B21-40ED-AED7-880EF0ED102C.jpg Front side http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j169/coffeyR6/Venture%20West%202014/33EEED6C-1FD4-457C-B36A-783D58BB333F.jpg Back side I could not find any good Nellis AFB stickers, but I saw this tab and thought it would be perfect for Tweeks.

I hate looking for the bike I want because I keep seeing a bunch of mistreated bikes. 1984s with 10k-30K miles. I want to rescue them all, but I cannot ride that many bikes. I am going to have enough trouble keep 2 bikes happy.

Dang, still looking then.

http://lasalle.craigslist.org/mcy/4513164579.html Found this bike and texted the owner. lets hope for a 02/84 birthday for this bike. :fingers-crossed-emoIt is a decent price and my favorite color. Most of the bikes that I find that are good deals are really close to Michigan. I think I am supposed to go hang out with Puc and Tippy and buy a bike.

Glad you made it back safe.

oh yeah, congrats on the boat. it looks good.

I say stop giving the man a hard time; at least his boat motor is made by the right company...more than we can say about his bike.

Since you brought up the load that Puc carries, I must let everybody know a few things that I observed. First thing, that giant pack that he carries is very light. I can curl it left handed with out strain. Also next to his trunk, the roll looks huge; it is about the size of a gen 2 trunk. The weight and wind resistance are less than what I was carrying. http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j169/coffeyR6/Venture%20West%202014/242A3A69-A071-4868-BF1B-1CD57A68FAD2.jpg

I was trying to touch hard parts, but no luck this time. I can't wait to test more tires in the same fashion.

I am curious to see how they last. I am using E3s right now. It is funny when I read reviews about them and people say the E3s wear so slow because they are so hard and do not handle well. Some Washington and Oregon roads would disagree with that statement. However it would be nice to not spend $500+ on tires.

Wow, glad the tire held together. I looked at your tire many times and never noticed it. Must have happened in the last few days.

I understand. You wouldn't want to upset Tweeks. I have found some amazing deals, but not what I want.

I won't be getting that one Puc, it is all yours if Tweeks needs a younger sister.

The 84s do have the 2nd gear issue. From what I have heard, it is a worn out washer in the tranny. Simple rebuild should fix the issue.
