It's freaking sweet. That is a lovely scooter.

Just a little paint and polish.....

I'm thinking maybe a little upholstery with the paint and polish and your set. Maybe some of them tassles hanging from the handle bars.

First year Honda CB750 . . . too much fun!

[Non-Harley Mode = on]


This was my ride while working in the "Cost and Control Management Team" at the Harley Davidson assembly factory in York.

It could not be parked inside the courtyard under my office window because it was NOT a Harley.

I still remember the first batch of bikes we built with the screaming eagle (Liberty Edition) graphics on the tanks. Some were parked in the courtyard waiting for a missing part. That is how we discovered that the red dye in the graphics was not color fast. The lovely gold and brown colors faded to ugly shades of green . . . fortunately, before the bikes were shipped.

Those were the days . . . <sigh>

that is one nice bike manski,u jot gotta be able to see beneath the sh!t. kick starter, now how can one beat that??? Just sayin

[TheTman]

I saw that up in Stugis in 2001. It was funny, bikes parked everywhere, and I waked walked around a corner, and that beauty was sitting there all by it's self, no one parked around it, other side of the street was packed with bikes, but this one sat all alone. We spent quite a bit of time looking at the stuff he'd done to it, using tin cans for an oil resevoir, and the ham can for his air filter cover, and all the little knicks he has hanging off it everywhere. It was pretty cool to check out.

[jocko]

some on put alot of work into making that bike look like sh!t. More than likely his closed motorcycle trailer was around the block to. I doubt if he drove it in to sturgis, unless he lived around the corner. Rat bike for some is cool.I am gladit is his and not mine. I've seen more than one of those at Sturgis, alongwith I amsure u have seen the Buffalo bike. no
doubt that box trailer is around the corner to.

stillfun to see um though..

I need some 2 wheel attitude adjustment. For some reason I haven't felt the bug this year. I guess I feel like I need to finish up some projects around here before I can allow my self a weekend away. Not much good riding close to home, it's all flat squares of farmland. I can go east about and hour and ride the scenic hiway, it's a fun road.
Hell this bike hasn't been out in over a year now: I bought it while the MoCo was rebuilding my motor. I got a thing for turquiose bikes or something. Actually the guy put it on craigslist, right before I happened to look. It's a 95 model, had less than 6000 miles on it, and had it priced way low. I happened to be his first caller, he said he got about 15-20 calls on it before I got there, but he held while I drove an hour and half, and took a ride and wrote the check. It's a nice bike for a quick runs around town. It's a lot lighter than the Harley is, and easier to get around in traffic, but the last mechanic screwed up the carbs on it and I took it back once and they fixed it buy are out of business now, so it needs the carbs cleaned an adjusted then it should run pretty good. Have a couple folks ready to buy it once it's running.
It's 95 750cc (Wish it was the 920) Yamaha Virago. But it's got plenty of giddyup when it's just me on it. The seat sucks, if I keep it I am getting a comfortable seat. This is from Cederedge Colorado, where I had a blast on it taking curves where I know my Heritage would be dragging the floor boards.

[CJB]

95 Virago, with the "starter issues" and the chance to blow the carbs off their boots at just the wrong time while starting? THAT Virago????

Hell I had one!

The seat can be made better by any competant upholstery shop. Suspension was pretty good on mine, so a thinner, leaner seat was ok.

[jocko]

hellI am 68 and I just can't seem to keep offmy bike. I amheadedout thursday morning to lexington, KY to their stateHOG rally, just for something to do. only about 400 miles and I just enjoy being around bikes (harley's) and some nicecountry riding down there also. Wife has to work, I told her I will miss her!!!!

[TheTman]

Yes, they talk about starter issues on that model, but I haven't had any (knocking on wood) the guy may have put a different stater on it or something. Haven't had any carbs blow off, but the idiots that cleaned and adjusted them last didn't torque a screw or something down right, and it came loose and the bike ran like crap, I took it back and they fixed, then a few months later it does it again, but now the Yamaha dealer there is out business, the other Yamaha dealer only works on bikes 10 years old and younger. My friend's son went to bike school and majored in metric bikes, since the HD class filled up before he could get in. And he was going to look at it but he is working 2 jobs now and I hate to ask him. Probably take it down to this shop that works on anything, always has 25 bikes it seems waiting to get serviced, so will probably sit awhile before they get it fixed. I used him once before and his work was good. My friend says to take it to the bike shop his son is working at, but they sell HD clones, Triumphs, Indians, and Victories, I didn't think they worked on Viragos, but I guess a call to see if they will look at it won't hurt. Stupid me, I had new rubber put on it, and told them to do a 10,000 mile service on it, and they messed with the carbs, and I don't think they needed too. Should have done the service myself.

[TheTman]

Jocko, the riding slowdown all started when I got my new little Hyundai. It gets same gas mileage as the HD, Has A/C, and XM radio, and decent sound system for a standard model radio,
The Hyundai is a hoot to drive, got the 5 speed and really enjoy curves. Had a super time up in the Colarado Mountains with it, although my passenger was looking a bit apprehensive. First little "sporty" car I've had since my Fiat 124 Sport Coupe back in the 70's. So I been running around it in a lot, especially on those 100+ degree afternoons when that A/C feels so nice.
Jocko, when you first got your Porche, did your riding drop off some?

Anybody here go to the Street Vibrations Rally in Reno and would like to meet up?
