    Looks good and I'm glad to see that they have added the XM back to it BUT...it doesn't offer enough that I would sell my 550 and then spend that much for a new one.

    It's hard to tell from the small pictures but the damage appears minimal. It is a custom paint job so you won't be able to replace the fairing with one the same color. It will require somebody matching the existing paint or a complete new paint job. I always worry about any hidden damage. Bent forks, etc. Also, the salvage title will really affect the value when you get ready to sell it. I don't know what I would say for a price but I personally wouldn't pay more than $2000.00 for it. That's right off the top of my head though and I'm certainly no expert in the value of salvage bikes.

    I agree. Would love to know more about the engine though. 1600 water cooled V4.

    I really sorry to here it. She seemed to be doing so well. Let her know that she is indeed in our prayers and that we miss her here.

    That was several years ago. I'll try to contact the supplier and get a new price.

    They varied depending upon what people wanted but here is what mine look like. They are polished stainless steel with deep acid etched text.

    I had those made but it was pretty much a one time deal unless a LOT of folks are interested again. I think the minimum quantity was something like 50 sets before I could place the order.

    According to that article...it puts the price at $21,699. Maybe it was Canadian but if US hen that puts it right in line with the price of a new Ultra Classic. Far more than the RSV. One other thing I noticed was that it requires premium gas. I know that some of our members here run premium in the RSV but I've never done so.

    Well if you look out my door, you KNOW I didn't send it. Seems that we are keeping ours here. 12 F and they say "feels like" -4. Probably only about 6 or so inches of snow but still coming down. It's going to be a LONG winter.

    OK OK OK...couple months...couple hours...whatever works for you. Heck...it will be good just to see you again.

    I agree....opinions will vary about any make and model. There is no way that I could pass judgment unless I could do some seat time on one. Go ahead and buy one Eddie...then drop it off here at the house and leave it for a couple of months and then I'll get back to you on it. BUT...please wait until at LEAST May.

    Eddie, I agree that it looks pretty good but I'm just not hearing great reports from people who have ridden and bought them. I would have to find the post but we actually have a member here who bought one and then couldn't wait to get rid of it.
  13. Freebird
    I agree. It is done.
  14. Freebird
    Well it's 12 F as I type this and I would have to plow the driveway before I could get the bike out. So.....not going to happen today.

    Rod, I know them pretty well. I have bought from them and have visited their store in person a few times. Great folks. All parts are stored indoors, nothing out in the weather. Used parts are used parts but Pinwall always gets my recommendation.

    Thanks for the COLD reminder. Yes, I know that those in the gallery are older BUT....I looked so much younger in them.
  17. Freebird
    OK.....it seems that the vast majority like it better the old way so I have changed it back. Sorry for the incvonvenience.
  18. Freebird
    Yes, but in that same left menu, it you click the one titled "Mark Forums Read", it will work. At this point, I'm thinking of changing it back. It seems that most don't like it.

    Well I really don't have any pictures of Eileen and I but Ponch was good enough to send me these three taken at various rallies and etc.
  20. Freebird
    Yea...don't you just HATE it when that happens. Oh well....it's just a cross that some of us must bear.

    The big increase may have just been because it marks them differently. It should get back to normal after you get it cleaned up the first time.

    I've made a little change in how the "New Posts" function works. Previously, the threads would remain on your list but would go from bold font to regular font. Now the thread will be removed from your list after you have read the new post. One note though, if the thread is multiple pages, you have to go to the last page so that it at least THINKS that you have read all the new posts of that thread. Let me know if you like it better this way. If not, I can easily change it back. I also may have to change it back if it has a large affect on the server. This method is more server intensive but I think with the recent upgrade, we should be OK.

    That's one of the things that I like about the Seagull. It has a slightly wider neck than most acoustics. Still not as wide as a classical but wider than most steel string acoustics.

    Webbikeworld just did a review on the Garmin 660. Though I like the widescreen, I would not consider this an upgrade from my Zumo 550 simply because it does not have the XM radio capability. I'll just stick with what I have thank you very much. For those who don't care about the XM though, it seems to be a pretty good unit. http://www.webbikeworld.com/garmin-gps/garmin-zumo-660-review/

    I'll have to see if I can find any. There are a couple in my PicGallery but I don't think I have any new ones.
