    V-Max trike?

    Definitely different but he should come with a aerodynamic covering to tie the two parts together.
  2. Hey Magnawake you should see Skydoc's Magna very sweet. He's done alot to it. I have a 84 V65 Sabre I've owned since new and still love the old girl. 145 Hp at the crank but ionly 105 at th3 rear wheel cause of the shaft drive. but still plenty fast . The 85 V Max had 14 hp on her . But the Sabre had longer legs and could go all day. As long as you changed the seat. LOL! Check out my pictures.
  3. wow Barend you got a great sidecar. I've only seen one like it up at Americade 10 years ago. It was attached to a Honda CBX 6cylinder. It was painted to match the bikre in Black silver and red.Its one of only two models of leaning sidecar i've seen on the market. Theres a grteat quarterly magazine called Hack'd out of Virginia that is a wealth of good information and mounting electrical and how to ride a rig. Its an invaluable source of information to a new rig riders.Theres a lot to learn. because you've purchase a leaning car it will be easier than a standard mount car but theres still so much to know. I have a standard mount that rides more like a snowmobile because you need more body english to get around a corner. But they are still a ball to ride.I've had mine 12 years and still get a kick out of it. Welcome to the club we're a small but dedicated part of motorcycling. Non ridiers love us , kids point , people smile,other motorcyclist will look at you like you're a strange beast at times' but thats okay.
  4. Count me as one I have a 1980 XS1100 in touring mode pulling a 85 Velorex 700
  5. And be Careful. No heat stroke! Of course if you start losing weight we may have to change Margarets handle to Not-so-mini-muffin.
  6. Nice job Rooster. Did you do that or send it out to be done! Are you running a Velorex 562 on that thing? Alot of people think its too light for our bikes. I run a velorex 700 on a full dress Yamaha XS1100 and have had no trouble.

    1985 Venture

    You've got alot of good suggestions here. Gigawhiskeys is a good little trick a lot of women use. A good pair of thick soled boots will really make a difference. Another trick might be to look for a lower profile radial bike tire. The Shorter sidewall will lower the bike a bit. Just remember to change the front too. You need to run radials front and back. Welcome to Venture riders you'll have fun here. PS. If you look into the Shadows there's a great forum for them too several of us are on there also. Its called Shadow ACE tourer.
  8. Hey Jeff I've been a bit slow in keeping up with news on the site. But know that we up north have you in our prayers as well . You take care and be safe. I know Margaret will keep us all as informed as she can. Be safe my friend I want to meet you face to face in Hertford sometime.
  9. Ive used Chrome for about a month now and agree it and firefox are about the same here too. But its always good to have another door to the internet in case one gets infected. Have it, use it, like it alot. Besides how can you not like some with the word chrome in it.
  10. I added a comment too I hope its gets through,
  11. Sent a comment to the media on the radio interview . I hope it helps.
  12. Squid great Bike the shame of it is that Big Tom told me you were in the area AFTER YOU LEFT!!!! I would have love to have met you. Heck it was only two hours down the thruway. Oh well maybe next time. Congrats on the great find. Your a man after my own heart a little clean makes a heck of an improvement. I don't know why people don't maintain their bikes better.Say hi to Lonna for me . Tell her I'm still waiting for that PB&J cheesecake. Phil.
  13. Well let me just add here That Big Tom did an exceptional job of showing all of us a great time at his M&E. Weather wise we lucked out as the rain always seemed to be ahead or behind us. Except for a little after rain road spray we all stayed completely dry. It was great meeting so many members that i have spoken to here but never met. Had a long conversation with SkyDoc while at Bongobobs to pick up some spare parts and had a great time. Skydoc rides a missle disguised as a 1st Gen. and blew past me with my son close behind like I was standing still. WOW! The hospiatlity was first rate and I realize now that I have some big shoes to fill with my M&E next month . Details to be posted soon. To all the others that showed it it was a ball laughing and joking with you all, meeting you all and riding with you. I hope we can do it again soon. Oh and i promise the topic of National Health care will NOT be discussed at next months M&E or any other topic that does not include good fun, riding or the friendship that we all share.LOL! That ones on me! Again Tom, Vicky, Bongo Bob and all the others that helped make this a great meet Thanks again it was wonderful. PB&J P.S. My son Henri says he had agreat time too and hopes to meet more of the gang next month. P.S.S. Oh and Rawhide is really sorry now that she missed it.
  14. Don, in this day when things seem so crazy , of course there are going to be more demands on people. You owe us no explanations. And don't worry we'll be here waiting up for you no matter when you're on to post. You've had one hell of a year, we all know that. This site won't fade away and all of us scatter to the winds. You built a solid foundation in this site . Its a testament to your hard work and dedication. That's why we stay. So work knowing we're here for you now. we'll carry the weight a little. And no apologize! Sheesh what?! you want to give us all swelled heads? Phil.
  15. MMmmmmmmmmm Peanut butter and Jelly cheese cake ! Sounds yummy !!! You should also try cheese cake with Butter Pecan frosting (Like you put on German Chocolate Cake). Its fantastic! Say in Touch Both of you.
  16. Being a Mustang owner myself this was very touching. Unfortunately I can't let my son see it because then i "ll have to get him one too LOL! Great Post and Ford should be commended for such a touching commerical. But the darn thing is 4 minutes long !!!
  17. Brad and Lonna so sorry to hear about the job situation. Yet ,you have been talking about moving and who knows ,maybe this is meant to be for a very good reason. As the rust belt has been shedding jobs and good workers the south has risen again and is seems job a plenty exist there. Besides with those losey roads in Michigan look at the money you'll save in shocks and springs.LOL! Good luck to you both and keep us all in formed. My bet is that a great job may be waiting for you. Besides how could i not care about the couple that gacve me my handle. PB&J.
  18. Hey Jay don't you wonder if Cindy nominated herself for all those awards shes got????
  19. Cindy, you'll do fine it sounds go so fast , just don't get your hopes up for a speedy ending and the disappointments will be few. Joanna and i send our prayers:thumbsup2: and hope the scales of justice lean your way.
  20. Count me in as a cheap friend too. Not TOO cheap, but cheap enough. Um can I borrow a buck? Another friendship request sent.
  21. The Blast is a good beginner bike. Okay plenty of people here have told you that. but for your girl friend there are alot of other great old bikes out there.Like the Honda Shadows. Over on the Honda Shadow tour riders there are plenty of people finding shadows for sale. A good bike with a low seat. The Virago 750 is another fine machine as pointed out. Also the V Star 650. Good luck to her in her search.
  22. A fine looking Couple Annie. Um, but whats a boiler??? Like the big iron kind or the scrawny chicken kind? Your neither.
  23. Adding to this post to keep it current. anyone has an old set of stock pipes they'd like to sell let me know.
  24. Sorry Annie thats what happens when you perform random acts of kindness with these guys. They get all Lovie and mushy and stuff. They aren;'t used to it. ! LOL!
  25. okay whats the prize for guessing and it seems someones got it right!!!
