Yes! And be quick about it young whippersnapper!

I still have the Scrambler for days I'm feeling spry lol. But there's method to my madness. I can now go on trail rides with my sisters because the Honda is quiet and doesn't make sudden movements, so the horses don't get spooked by it and generally don't pay it any attention. Whereas the Scrambler is LOUD and sounds like you're on a big pissed off chainsaw, and it does make sudden movements. The horses won't get within 50 feet of it and still eyeball it warily even when it's not running. Even if it didn't bother the horses the Scrambler would overheat going that slowly through the woods unlike the Honda.

Well I gotta get off here and go yell at the neighborhood kids, it sounds like they're having fun out there and we can't be having that!

Sold the concours and got a V Star now.

Jay and I hit the trails yesterday and some back roads. It was a little too muddy for the Hawk. We tried 5 different ways to get up on the mountain to no avail and I got to see Jay drop the Hawk about 10 times, including rolling clear over him lol. And we couldn't ride the valley because the creeks were up too high, so eventually we gave up and hit the dirt roads. We discovered the Foreman 500ES tops out at 60mph, which is pretty good for a utility quad. Altogether we were out for 5hrs and had allota fun. 🙂

Happy to see you guys were able to get out and enjoy the bikes. Warmer weather is just around the corner. We just get to test it out way earlier than you.

Yes but I went out and bought a V Star right after I sold the Concours. About to sell the V Star and get something else. I want a decent CB 750, KZ900 or the like that I can wrench on.

2007 honda vtx 1300r. Not a huge cruiser fan but i inherited it from my mom when she passed. Just got new wheels mounted, need to clean up the rims and get it put together so i can hopefully ride on the new rubber before marshal law kicks in.

Eyeballing a drz400 or maybe mt-07 or mt-09.

Duck, that one screams to have some small artwork or sticker of your mom done and keep it shiny for the rest of your life! Even if you don't like cruisers all that much, she did, and that's a big deal!

I enjoy the bike, i just don't think i would buy one. Its a a pig at around 740lb wet. The 1300 isn't a power house at 60hp 75lbft of torque but it does fine getting out of its own way and they are known to break 200k with ease. Needs a seat and a windshield change. She was 6', i am not lol. I get a ton of buffeting above 55 mph. I've tried many settings with the small shield that is on it with little improvement. Going to put some lowers on it next. If that doesn't work its either coming off or its getting a batwing. I don't want a radio, finding a plane batwing seems next to impossible. It had sat for 5 years while she was sick, so when i got it there was a lot of work needed. Chrome was pitted pretty bad, paint was rough and it needed some crab work. Few weeks later the chrome was looking good, paint is better but the paint sucks on these so it needs to be resprayed which is fine by me as im not a fan of black. Tires were original, so now 14 years old and hard as a rock. I rode on them last year for the few months of the season and they sucked. Now they are replaced with some sinko 777's i need to work on the aluminum rims as they are corroded. I put 2800 miles on it last year and about 600 on the storm, hoping to put a ton more on both depending what this stupid virus does.

I will say its weird going from the 300lb 14hp storm to the low setting 740lb with 60hp lol

waiting on the paint to see if i go batwing or not. i like the clean look with out it but they do have their advantages. Also not sure what color, just not "clean me every hour black" or white. I think a deep metallic blue or red.

I have a vintage 1995 Suzuki 750 Katana, along with my newest China Tao TBR7 bike. Haven't been on the 750 for a while so when I took it out for this photo, I put on my gear and noticed that it wouldn't start.

No gas, which was strange but I thought it was on reserve when I parked it (It was on prime for the a couple of months...). Added some fuel and it started right up. Took it toward the the closest gas station.

I noticed the bike became a bit loose but attributed that to left over highway cinders. The next hill was really bad as far as absolutely no control. I pulled over and noticed the back tire was coated with oil. There was a trail of oil for about 2 miles...

Apparently what winter fuel had made it into the crankcase filling it way past the the normal lines.

Checked all the normal places nothing seemed to be leaking counter shaft seal, oil filter, the oil cooler lines. I refilled with Walmart's best value and the Suzuki was alive again with no apparent leaking.

Air 250 Bob - I had a Katana 750, I think it was a 1995, but it was blue. Great bike!
