Enjoyed reading about your suicidal jack rabbit. How fast were you going when you hit him? Could you imagine what might have happened had he chosen "under the front wheel" suicide instead? Hmmm... I spent a few hours in Texas in the summer of 2014 on this ride: CLICKY What an experience. I...

Oops... thought this was your bike for sale. So you're neither the seller or the buyer. Hope it works out for your bud. Gary

Got another bite. This guy's claiming I need to come down on the price as he has a limited budget. Ugh. What to do? Now I'm wondering if my price is right. Gary

Ha, I was thinking the same thing. Good thing AJ's not "on the clock." There'd be several numb-skulls learning some expensive lessons if not spending some time behind bars to help them consider their ways. Gary darksider #44

Good luck with your sale. Gary

I remember reading a link years ago to a ride report of Brian blasting through the curves with that car tire. He was on certainly a mission that day. I didn't know he was struggling against cancer lately. Just curious, how old was he when he passed? We'll be keeping his family in our prayers...

Enjoyed reading your post. Was just remembering back to a conversation you and I had a while back and feeling especially thankful to be reading this ride report. This is the first time I've ever seen or even heard of the... USS Cairo. ...so I did a little research. As much as I appreciate...

Thanks Mike, Can't take your advice as the deal's done. Check was tossed last Sunday and is probably just "so many" ashes now out behind the incinerator. I hear what you're saying, but I've always tried to live by that golden rule. Gotta ask myself how I would feel if it cost me 200 bucks to...

Lovin' this ride report. Thanks for posting each day. Yer better at it than I am. Wondering if yer Harley buddy will be leaving his bike at some dealer so he can watch the scenery from the back seat with one of you guys (to get home) -- and then fly back for his bike in a week or two once they...

Ah, price. That explains it. I was looking at 250's in my comparisons because I didn't read your post carefully enough. Yammie seems to be quite proud of their little 250, based on the prices I saw. Not sure how that shakes out when comparing 650s, but I'm assuming you saw the same pricing gap...

Finally, a joke I can share with the family...

This thread got me googling comparisons between all the different 250s available out there. Many don't list the actual years of the bikes they're comparing so the information becomes confusing as new models sometimes make quite a difference. But in more than one comparison, Yamaha's 250 had a...

Ugh. Feeling blue today. That fella called and backed out of the deal. But he said I could keep the down payment. Hmmm. I just can't do it. Any of you fine fellers want a check for 200 bucks? Gary

You hit the nail right on the head Larry. Edit: reminds me of the day in 6th grade when I got a new 3 speed sting ray. It was metallic gold with a banana seat and a sissy bar and ape-hanger handlebars. It even had metallic gold streamers hanging out of the handle grips. I would ride up and down...

Really enjoyed the pictures. Wish I could have gone. My daughter has had her eyes on the V7 Stone that you rode for some time now and likes the way it looks, the lighter weight, and the lower seat height. She's never actually ridden one, so I sent along the link to your write up for her to check...

This forum is a great source for these bags if you're patient. Guys are constantly parting out bikes in our classified section. You just missed a set that sold here a couple months ago. Have you placed a "wanted" add in the classifieds here yet? It may take a couple months, but if you can wait a...

Good news: Got a full price offer of 3800.00 from a fella on Cycle Trader. They have a "2 weeks free" deal and I listed it with them. Fella in New York named John contacted me. I received a deposit for 200.00 in the mail today. Talked to him yesterday and he's planning to leave New York to come...

Glad you got the PR4. They're popular on these pages. And welcome to the site. You asked about being overzealous. Na. At least nobody caught you trying to hug your new tire... Gary darksider #44 And at least you weren't guilty of rambling on for 200 plus pages about the KIND of tire you...

Be not deceived... whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Though you didn't catch the thief, his deed will not go unpunished. However, it would be nice if you could get your stuff back. Gary

Hey Trip, Here ya go: a beautiful example and it's for sale: CLICKY HERE Don't blame ya, I have an equal love for that same machine. Amazing how many gawkers there are at the VJMC meets (vintage Japanese motorcycle club) when someone brings one of these. They always draw a crowd. I rode on...
