    What... you didn't go out and get all those goodies and paint job the very first day you got your scoot??? I'm soooooooo disapointed! You sayin I'll have MORE now?? OMG!

    According to my insurance agent, motorcycles don't require an inspection... ICBC insurance "goes without saying".. but yes, the lift adapter and lift are high on my list... hmmmmm ...I wonder if they come in CHROME!!

    yep to those 2 items plus an LED wing for the trunk...then a luggage rack. Those are, to me, the most important... after that... who knows...

    Thanks for the info.. as the bike will be sitting in my garage most of the winter, I'll be looking for as many "goodies" as my wallet will allow during that time. Let's see now... what to get first.... awrite..c'mon guys.... help me spend, spend, spend (and then send your donations LOL)

    Eight hundred!! wow ... now that's gotta be the reddest red I've ever seen... don't be going near the firehall with it...they'll think it's one of theirs! lol

    Brian..heh...you know as well as I do how quick the weather can change out East of here. I lived in Calgary for 8 years...plus 15...20 celcius today.... minus same tomorrow and sometimes it comes without warning. To be honest, I'd love to ride it home...may still yet! I have to wait for all the paperwork to be finalized by mid-week...then we'll see what the weather is gonna do next weekend... yes, I'm a "tuff" guy LOL... and maybe a little reckless even at my age and between me, you, and the gatepost .... I may just chance it! Then again.... I don't know if the "warden" will let me out on "day parole" ifn she figgures I'm gonna do that! LOL

    Gawd no...not this time of year...having it shipped via a specialty M/C transport company...it will wind up costing a bit more but the lack of the hassle of trailering it myself is worth it.
  8. SilvrT
    Oh yeah....oh yeah... I won't be able to sleep at night thinkin about that!
  9. SilvrT
    hehehe... and that was ridin 2 up!! Well now.. maybe I'll just have to keep the "old girl" just for those "special times" LOL she says "HI" backatcha!

    The '87 is for sale... asking $4500 and I'm pretty firm on that. I'm in no hurry to sell it so pretty confident I'll get my asking price...eventually!!

    Yes... yes..yes... we've made a deal on an '06 RSMV. It's a scoot that is advertised on this site no less to boot! http://www.venturerider.org/classifieds/showproduct.php/product/1334/cat/4 It's been checked out by a friend of ours who is very meticulous and it's in showroom condition (it should be for only 1300 km's). We got it for $12,900 which I feel is a heck of a deal for this particular bike and for here in Canada...eh!

    my last truck was 4wd... this one only 2wd. ya, I don't think the actual "hauling" is any issue... it's getting that monster in and out without any mishaps...
  13. SilvrT
    Good idea....but you neglected to mention...have a tow truck standing by to pull ya out of the ditch! LOL
  14. SilvrT
    No... I don't like the grey color... I'm looking at an '06 RSMV in Calgary...private deal. Only has 1300 km's on it.
  15. SilvrT
    on that note... can I post a pic of what I lust for??? :rotf:
  16. SilvrT
    Brian... thanks for the tip on this. BTW, what's happening with your scoot? Are you getting it fixed or what?
  17. SilvrT
    no way to the bus idea... I'd fly! LOL If it wasn't bordering on the brink of winter, I'd be doing just that...riding it home.. but it's way too risky this time of year. It's 760 miles with 4 mountain passes to go through. The place where it is (Calgay) has the kind of weather that one day it can be 10 celcius above and the next day minus 20 celcius and a blizzard...the passes can have 2 or more feet of snow come down overnight.... nope...way too risky to ride it. Wife has a good idea tho and it would depend on the cost.... find a moving company with experience transporting motorcycles and get them to do it so, gonna look into that option tomorrow.

    Seems U-haul here has M/C trailers for rent ... web site shows $14.95/day so that's pretty cheap! ... and my truck is already rated for 2000Lbs towing cap. with the steel step-bumper so should be good to go!
  19. SilvrT
    yep, that's what happens... show a guy something interesting and then tell him he can't have it and that's where LUST comes in!! :rotf:
  20. SilvrT
    Ha! that boat & trailer belongs to the downstairs tenant and he's long since taken it away to who knows where.... it's not available. But, I'll certainly go with the advice of ya'll regarding trailering the new scoot...was my first thoughts anyway.
  21. SilvrT
    Yes, I'm looking into the trailer rental thing but all I've found so far is a U-haul enclosed trailer that's only 4 feet high inside... but, I've just started looking so something's bound to turn up. 'nuther Q ... what's the normal weight capacity of a standard steel bumper on a 1/2 ton pickup? I'm thinking it should be sufficient to haul an RSV in a trailer..??
  22. SilvrT
    So, the next question is... how does one get that sukkah up into the back of a 77 inch pickup box with the tailgate down to add another foot and a half??? Ramping it into there would mean all the weight is going onto the tailgate and it's support cables..no?
  23. SilvrT
    It's 77 inches from bulkhead to tailgate. Tailgate adds what... another foot and a half or so (I didn't measure that). I'd thought about the plywood idea and yes, getting it up there (and back off again) could be an interesting challenge. I'd trailer it if I could beg, borrow, or steal the right trailer. hmmmmmmmmmmm.... could be interesting....
  24. SilvrT
    Here's a pic of the '06 I'm looking at buying. I'll need to transport it home in the back of my Dakota truck. Can anyone pls provide a measurement from point A to point B for me? Need to figure out if it will fit in the box or straddle the tailgate or what. Thanks

    eh? on a 1st gen? never used a jack on mine... What I have had to do is prop the front up on blocks to remove the front tire so that it don't come crashing down on the tubes. oh, I get it now... if on the jack, ya don't have to take the bags, etc off....?? hmmm well, I'll have to be getting one of those jacks seein as I got my eyes on a 2nd gen now.
