  1. My bet: Fuel injected, liquid cooled big twin. GPS audio system built in. Two hard bags (too small, but look fancy). No trunk, no cruise, no CB. Maybe reverse. Maybe fairing of the RSTD type. I have all that on my 2014 V Star 1300 and didn't have to hock the farm for it.
  2. PP sent for two patches. Thanks
  3. The V-Star that I got last year is v twin water cooled and from the little that I have ridden it, it is as smooth as my Venture.
  4. If a is coming and with half of the mentioned up grades it would be a bid change. I guess we will see in a couple weeks. May have to make a withdraw from my 401k.
  5. I just got part three. Unveiling June 5. https://www.yamahamotorsports.com/cruiser-touring/pages/journey-further?utm_source=SingleMessage&utm_medium=Email&utm_term=JourneyFurtherEM3_conte
  6. Haven't done much to nine . Maybe pulling it out of the garage so I could work on a friends Kaw. Mounted a set of HD bags on a Vulcan 1700.
  7. From what I have seen on the news it is nasty. Praying that everyone stays safe down there.
  8. Two new knees. You will be running in a marathon before you know it.
  9. Tomorrow at 10:00 it will be official. I will have 37 years and 8 months with the company. I will walk out a RETIRED man and have no idea what I will get into but I will find something. :happy65: :happy65:
  10. You should look at a parts fich or what ever you call it but from what I can see it does not have 6 bearings in the swing arm Only two. I would have to watch them install them before I paid.
  11. I stop at a service station just out the road from home all the time to get a six pack or cigarettes and the attendant ask my birthday so I tell her. The other day she ask the same question, I told her 1999, she gave me a quick head shake and a look. I said it is not how old you are but how you feel and left.
  12. Congrats Larry. That is a mile stone. Celia and I will be together 44 this year.
  13. Hi Puc glad to hear from you. The hand is doing great. The doc didn't put a hard cast on, he said it would heal without it. Just taped two fingers together and wrapped the hand. As for the oral surgery I had to go in Thursday to get a little more nip and tuck. Now a couple weeks of healing for the swelling to go down so I can get the new chops.
  14. If you shut off the gas and run the carbs dry when parking for a while that will happen and most times we do forget to turn it back on.
  15. Found this while looking for another light. might interest some. https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/led-landscape-lights/weatherproof-par36-led-bulb-65-watt-equivalent-bi-pin-led-spotlight-bulb/3826/8215/?utm_source=Criteo%20Dynamic%20Remarketing&utm_medium=Criteo%20Dynamic%20Remarketing&utm_campaign=Criteo%20Dynamic%20Remarketing
  16. Skid I may have a couple of them. I will check today and see. If mot try Boats.net. You can also take one of the other one and match it with one at Fastenall. I get a lot of bolts from them.
  17. Why we ride. Good question. For me I will answer that now as I didn't in my first post. My wife will not let me sell it. I was it a bad crash in 72 and spent four months in a full body cast. When I was let out of the hospital I still had a cast on my left leg to my hip and wore it till early spring of 73. While in the cast I decided to rebuild the bike. All went well till I was able to ride it. I could not let out on the clutch. The fear of crashing hit me like a hammer so I sold the bike to my brother for $50.00. After the wife and I got Married we were at his house and she wanted to go for a ride but not with anyone but me. She talked me into trying and the rest is history.
  18. Dan you can't burn rubber at every take off and expect to get a lot of miles out of them. :Laugh:
  19. Rick if you get that one and it does not work for you I have a Utopia that is adjustable.
  20. You beat me to it. I just got it from my email.
  21. It all depends on what road I am on, four lane I will 10 over posted speed and two land I run speed limit most of the time but do like to ride as if I am leading a group of new riders on twisty roads.
  22. Yep. Fast shipping and good prices and friendly people if you call. Can't beat that with a stick.
  23. I have one setting in my yard with a 140 in board and a V-6 engine in the garage for it. I told my son that he would not be happy till he gets a V8 in it. :mo money::mo money:
  24. Yes the 1217 that I quoted was for the insurance from where I work but that would end when I turn 65 in July this year. I will go on Medicare with a part B supplement it will cost me $156 a month. That is not too bad from what the quotes that I was given from other company's but still leaves the wife with out any insurance. The only thing we can do at this time is get Obamacare for her as where she works does not have insurance for there employees. Since the only thing she gets from that company is a pay check she is going to retire in November of this year and tell them to stick it up there cazoo.
