You guys are alot of help. Good thing my wife never read this. Orange and Black, I wouldn't have enough money for shooting. Stocks prices would have to go way up!!!!!!! As it turns out the bike was a scam. I new it was too good to be true. Good thing I am cheap or just like giving money away. So I will keep looking. I here that if you get a bike that rides good and is quiet that sometimes the passengers fall a sleep and fall off. But I just heard that, not hoping that would happen :evil:

=)) Steve your funny. When I was 10 or 11 dad and I took a trip back to the "Factory" in Milwaukee and I would fall asleep i-) on the back of the bike all the time and not once did I fall off :ymapplause: (at least thats what dad said :-$ )I'd fall asleep in one state and wake up in another one, probably missed alot of cool things to look at along the way. Besides thats what bungee cords are for, too strap down your beer or your old lady =)) and sometimes to strap the beer to your old lady. :ymdevil:

I been so busy that I forgot about this post. Well the story was that I wanted to talk to him but he was hard of hearing and just wanted to talk by email. The next thing was it was way too good of a deal. And the next was the clincher he needed the money for his house payment. I must be a magnet for these guys. I think its about the 5th time I have found a scam. I guess the best thing is I found a great deal at Hurricane Harley on a trade in of a 2007 Yamaha Venture. Its down in the South, I guesss you can trust people from down their? Only thing I can't figure out is why anybody would trade it in their, SHAKES :-? Good thing the shipper picked it up today andits on its way home to the rain. Entries are coming in for the 2010 CBC match. Getting a few new people signing up. I am working on this years door prize. Should be another great one. Only bad thing is I set the standards too high at first.

From what you told me last match you and your wife should have a great time riding your new motorcycle. Your gradually working your way up to hog right? :@) :D

I agree with Matt. A lot of riders do work their way to a Harley eventually. Once I'm old enough that I can't ride anything else, I'm sure I'll get a Harley or a Gold Wing, too. I figure that I have a good 30 years of being able to ride a reliable bike that performs well left before I have to resort to that, though. =))

Shakes...why would any man in his right mind want to give his wife a Hog or any of the single cylinder bikes?

If you need details, I'll have to describe it behind the berm, but a Harley or other V-twin at 5-7k RPMs prior to arriving at a private destination works nicely. :ymblushing:
