Motorcycle Riders?

[dvd1955]

Dunno where the gent is on his investment vs value? First thought would be to sell it and buy another here? Maybe put it up for sale and see?

He is thinking about selling it. I told him if he missed riding he could borrow my tri-glide. He has ridden it before on visits. The suspension isn't nearly as smooth as the Spyder so not as easy on his back (2 back surgeries).

That would be my idea of the best option under the circumstances.

When I sold my '91 FXR to a guy in Cali he knew a guy that traveled the country specifically hauling bikes for buyers and sellers. It might be worth looking into and paying for it.
That was 4-5 years ago. If I can find the info I'll let you know. I seem to remember the first name of Sebi and he also worked on Subaru WRX engines?????

Those services are still available, cross country would probably run $1000-$1500 for a MC.

Sell it.

Great idea. He is making the arrangements to do this. Under $1000 and it will be in an enclosed trailer. They're going to deliver it right to my house.

Couldn’t ride today but I am tomorrow!
I pushed my idle enriching lever aka choke down about a quarter of the way and a few spins and my bike took right off. Last time I started it was mid November. I always use startron in it when I go for my last ride of the year and it sure helps to get it going easily for me

The V-Max is one bike I’d really like to ride once!

I like my odds with a helmet. I don't care if some people are too cool to wear one.

I've rode plenty, with and without. These days it's always with.

It should be a matter of personal choice though, the same as it should be for seatbelts. The exception should be for youths, 25 and under.

Why the exceptions for 25 and under?

Here's little known fact. A rider that crashes without a helmet will split their skull and ducks will come out of the woods and eat the brains.

Ducks gotta eat too.
