Condor

Nice looking bike. Same color as my '87....

You're definitely a rare bird.... Run thru a tank a 75+ in 5th and then let us know what you get.

5th gear, wind resistance, and load are mpg killers on these bikes. 1st or 2ndGen. I just got back from The Dalles with the '07 and got 47mpg on the Mt Hood ride, and the only time I hit 5th was going down hill. Pulled a trailer to Cody with the '99 and got 26mpg in 5th @ 75mph...until I dumped the trailer and then got 40mpg on a day ride to Shell Falls. With the '83VR I'd get 35-37 around town, and in the twisties in 2-3-4 gears only, never 5th unless downhill, I'd average 50. High speeds and 5th gear are the biggest mpg killers... Haven't rode the '04 trike any distance yet, but I'm not expecting much due to the Voyager Kit.

It's gotta rain be4 it snows.....

Idle jets plugged??

How many times do they have to do this to figure it out....

For those on the board who are using the Voyager Kit.... How are you dealing with your exhaust?? The RK's on the '04 come back and exit about 6" in front of the mounting plate. Am I the only one?? On mine I can imagine the exhaust fumes not only cooking the plate, but also circulating back up toward the cockpit. I have picked up a set of RK turn downs to correct, but wondered if anyone else had the same problem....

That's a Tow Pak Kit. Much like the Voyager Kit but smaller tires and different way to mount to the bike. With the smaller wheels they do look like trainers.... Don't like the look at all.. The website makes them look better, but in real life...not so. http://www.towpacusa.com/

In '08 they started to place the cat in the manifold, so the slip-on's from '08 to pres are also cat free... Didn't take 'm long to figure out that putting cat's in the mufflers wasn't such a great idea... And.... I don't know what the dealer gave me for RK's, but compared to the sound of the RK's on the '07 the '04 trike are nasty!!

I can't believe a P.O. didn't know that the spring was like that when he buttoned it back up. It may not have been of his doing... Keep an eye on it...

My wife and I did DC several years ago, and stayed at a motel in Virginia. Left the truck at the motel and rode the Metro into DC... which was an experience in itself. Kinda like a bucket list achievement. Even survived a rush hour Metro breakdown. If I remember correctly we got off at L'Enfant Station and every thing was right there. We bought a couple of all day passes on one of those on/off tour jitneys. Two days and we had a blast. Didn't see it all, but went into every 'hall' and even did the Wall and Arlington. Hope you have the time of your lives....

Nice pics of some good friends...

Hey they's got a great Dairy Queen.......

Mine is still without a knob so can't verify. Maybe another member with a good one will chime in??

They're usually sold as one big assembly... Unbolt it and replace it. They can be found on eBay or check Pinwall in Ohio....

Glad to hear he's still out and about.... The attached pic is from Cody #1. It may be the last time he was terrorizing on two wheels.... http://www.cast-aways.com/CODYPICS/IMGP2552%20(Medium).JPG

Looks like your shift lever is all caddy whompus. Probably bent when it was layed down on the left side. Any shifter will be a bolt on from 83-93... If it were me I'd put the petcock on reserve and toss the messed up knob... Ride by the odo and fuel gauge. Good luck finding the fairing etc. Looks like it's an '87.

I agree with Peter. The values there. The only thing I can suggest is when checking it out get on your back and take a look at the bottom of the motor. It generally shows how well a bikes been taken care of. Caked with cr@p and it's dickering time.....

Why would anyone lock it before it's closed....

Do the keys have to be in it???

COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let me know when. You may have a tibeer by the tail....

Gotta know how you can do it on a 2ndGen?? Then I can try it to see if it works....

9000 years ago my folks went up into Canada from Buffalo and brought back a bunch of Beer Cheese. Loved the stuff. It was so sharp it took the roof of my mouth off...and cauterized my cleft palate. The wife and I overnighted in Niagra on our tour of the US, searched but couldn't find any. I wonder if Bell ships??

Very Nice.....
