Real glad you made it and able to tell us about your wreck. When you said, "I totaled my bike," you weren't kidding. Hope your recovery goes well get a good Doctor on that back.
Back to the original thread, l personally think Yamaha is introducing a Tricycle with reverse to compete with the Harley Freewheeler and the Polaris Slingshot.
Yes, I have a Honda VTX that's water cooled it's 1800cc V Twin. A Harley rider has got to spend some money to out run it too. Also, without vibrations just enormous torque. It's my sleeper.
Michelin Commander II little harder compound lasts longer than E3 with 2-up ridding. With that said I also run a E-3 on the front for biteing into the curves and the fun factor.
A cocktail of Seafoam and berrymans will usually unstick a stuck float. But for winter storage I like running a few ounces of good old Marvel Mystery Oil thru those carbs. Also it's good for the inside of the gas tank setting there all winter. Works for me.
I got the cure for your itch it's in the classifieds under Other complete Motorcycles. Just doing my part too help the current situation. I know how serious this condition your experiencing can get. Best not go without very long could lead to a form of withdrawal good luck anyway.
My wife retired 10 years before me at that time we were keeping up two places she suggested if I bought her a Zero turn mower she would take care of the yard work. We now have one place and she is on her 2nd Zero turn mower best investments I ever made.
I changed one on a 91 1500 Goldwing with 20k on it after removing it which took most of the day found it really didn't need to be changed. After that I volved never to change one less than 40k miles.
I will my friend and I have wish we lived a little closer. We both have been trained to deal with similar situations only now we have to use a lot of restrain nowadays.
Enjoy your new bike when it comes in. Harley continues to improve their bikes they are nothing like what they were 30 or 40 years ago. I own three now and I much rather pull maint. or work on a Harley over a metric anytime just so much simplier
