  1. ......................
  2. Should be some time in Aug or Sept. I have to wait for my best friend to tell me when he can take his vacation...I will email you when we make final plans/dates to be in Bridgeport.
  3. Is this it? I'm not interested if it is... http://rideapart.com/2014/01/2015-yamaha-r25/
  4. I will be meeting my best friend in Bridgeport and then next day, riding east to get to east side and into VA., to pick up Skyline Dr. I was going to take 219 south, but decided I want more of the mountains.. not valley floor... Many thanks for all the info...and your time !!!!!!!!
  5. I am in the midst of planning a ride and would like to ask, which road is better, has more mountains and best in scenic views...? Hwy 92 south out of Green Bank WV.....or ...Hwy 219 south out of Salty Fork WV? It appears 92 has more mountains and that is what I am looking for, but thought I would ask those who may live in that area. Thanks Eck
  6. I pulled into a parking lot, shut my GW off, and got off it. I was removing my helmet and a car pulled up on the passenger side of the bike. I was on the drivers side. A Big dog was sitting in front passenger seat and a 50ish yr old man driving. The dog never barked, just sat there looking at me and my bike. I looked at the driver and said: Can I help you? Driver said: He has never seen one up close. I said: Ah... What? Driver said: He always sees them going down the road, but he has never seen one close up. I said: Well, he can look all he wants as long as he doesn't pee on it.. The driver chuckled and said Oh, he wont pee on it and he drove off... Strange it was..
  7. Dang... he will be on TV shortly...and on an island of his own in 10 years..
  8. Randy, My son is scheduled for a business trip flying from Australia to Toronto in August. He is not sure when in August (yet)..he even said it could be postponed until Sept or Oct.. However, "if" my son comes over in August Konnie and I will not be there. If his trip is postponed then we will be there. One more note: If my sons trip is just cancelled altogether.. Konnie and I are heading west for Sturgis, Redwoods, southern CA, Durango, and back home.
  9. 186 miles of wind in the face today...rode up into TN and some back roads back home. Man it was nice..71 degrees here... OK, back to reality............it is supposed to be freezing here by tomorrow morning.. I have a hard time believing that, but according to the weather man.......it WILL BE cold tomorrow..
  10. Not sure if anyone has seen this site. Pretty neat.. Find out if your next motorcycle will fit you with Cycle-Ergo. This site allows you to input your height and inseam, look up a motorcycle, and determine how you will fit it. It tells you your body’s forward lean angle as well as your knee bend level. Because of its visual nature it’s a great tool for shorter riders or female riders to determine how much they’ll be able to flat foot a motorcycle flat foot. You can even enter custom adjustments to see how your motorcycle would fit you if it was lowered two inches. http://cycle-ergo.com/
  11. Lewis, my heart, thoughts and prayers are with you bud.
  12. sent you an email...........check your choke..
  13. sharp ride for sure, but I would have to turn the exhaust tips downward to keep the rain /water out of them and I would think they would go with saddlebag line better and would be in same configuration as the rear turn signal chrome covers. just my opinion here...

    My Mom

    This is the one I posted last year. Something to frame and give to my son later in his life.
  15. Joe, I think he would need Freebirds mailing address to send a check, and I wouldn't want to post his home address on the site without his concurrence. That is why I sent Freebird an email. (Brotherly hug included).. Eck
  16. Freebird can help you with this. I just sent him an email to let him know. He should be contacting you shortly.. Welcome aboard.... POST OFTEN..... If I can help please let me know Eck
  17. Brad, Just a thought here bud.. I would think you could use "ANY" type 12 volt fuel pump to replace the original one with.. A fuel pump something like this one (in link below), would work just as well (or better) and last much longer. http://www.jtoutfitters.com/volt-electric-fuel-pump-p-10765.html
  18. I have mine just about where it needs to be too Mike. In the past two months I; Rebuilt the front end, seals, slides, guides and fresh oil Flushed brake lines front & rear New brake pads front & rear Flushed clutch line Oil & filter change Removed, cleaned & re-lubed hand lever pins Installed adjustable passenger foot pegs Installed 12 volt plug in left passenger glove box Installed battery tender power cord with inline fuse Will be getting Traxxion rear shock installed in two weeks, and in about a month or so a I will get a pair of new sneakers on it. Then I will be ready for many unfamiliar miles....
  19. Cute as all get out..............! Thanks for sharing Jeff...
  20. Hear say only.... I heard they knew they were building that museum on a possible sink hole and back then, before they began, they didn't care because they were able to purchase the land pretty cheap............
