  1. Wait a minute! Just exactly what time of the year are they counting these MC's?....During bike week????
  2. Lock her up!!!??? You better have armed protection for the Vikings when Robin gets there.
  3. A little far for a day ride. When I clicked on the globe in the upper right corner of your post it brings up a map of Syracuse NY. That's way I asked.
  4. Chase, if you live in NY, maybe we can find some way to get together and I can maybe give you some assistance and info on the RSV.
  5. Do you know if you have a lowering kit installed on the rear end? a lowering kit will change the handling. My first 99 would wander a bit until I removed the lowering kit. Handle like a dream after going back to stock.
  6. your profile says you live in Troy. Is that troy NY? Where did you buy your 99? was it from a member?
  7. Bob, you may be right, Seems like I've seen this bike in an add on craigslist or here in a post. Can't remember, old age setting in.
  8. There was a mod done on the 99 trunks due to weak mounts . Had to add plates to the mounts due to cracking. Mine were cracked . Most 99s had this issue.
  9. Missing trunk and has been painted? accident? Did he say where the trunk is? Also what is he using for a radio antenna? I do like the color.
  10. I might know where they are:whistling:....but I ain't tellin:moon:
  11. Did u lose your panties again?
  12. Seems like we see more problems with the 07's then any other year. Maybe bad QA staff that year?
  13. Are you aware that this post is 5 years old? To answer your question, he installed the "I" basket. There is much more info on this subject here, just do a search for I basket.
  14. Rick, there's a 09 with 19000k for sale in or near Ithaca NY for $9500 or BO. Listed on craigslist.
  15. I would change out all the fluids. probably never been changed in 14 years. Brake, clutch, cooling, rear end. Also grease the rear hub pins and drive shaft. Lube the throttle cables and the shifter linkage and anything else that moves. Basically I would service everything. Then you know what you got.
  16. That's what happens when you mix alcohol with keyboards. drinking and typing don't mix.
  17. Robin says she wants to give you your Birthday wakes HAPPY B-DAY! Watch your back side when you visit next month.
  18. If you want to see the BongoBob saga continue, then come to the WNY rally next month. It is my understanding he will make and appearance there. And with any luck he may have his trike with him. Of course this is just a rumor at this time.
  19. The floorboards on the 2nd gen have removable rubber pads. I believe you can order them through Yamaha. If I remember right Several Star bikes use the same floorboards, so you should have no problem finding them.
  20. I can attest that BongoBob does own a trike....I seen it siting in his driveway at the 4th of July gathering....I got your back Bobby.
  21. NO, NO, not an antique.....A classic.
  22. We went to 3 wheels after I dropped the bike in the driveway and Robin fell off and broke a rib. Wasn't to crazy about it at first, but now we wouldn't have it any other way. We will ride until they have to lift our dead body's off the trike. Or until I can't remember how to start the thing. Which will probably come first.
  23. OK, after doing a internet search on the subject, I have found no info to support the idea that engine braking is detrimental to a motorcycle engine. On the contrary, it is highly recommended on all vehicle's except maybe 2 cycle engines, due to the engine using the fuel/oil mixture for lubrication. No fuel going in = no lubrication.
