oldgoat Posted August 21, 2012 Share #1 Posted August 21, 2012 well after all that.s been going on in my life this year with 3 deaths. and such and not able to ride and selling the old 1984 .im going in tomorrow to get this left knee replacement done. i know there is a lot of work to do to get the new knee up to snuff. lots of PT and i will end up in a place for 2 weeks after the operation. to help push me along. then im going to push the PT as much as i can stand. i have put away 3 grand for the purchase of a bike for next summer.im not going to go with a first gen as i just cant handle that big boy no more. thinking a vstar? not sure what size? and if i can snag one for that price? i did see a nice one for $2800 and i should have snapped on that one.1100cc and had 24000 miles but my daughter said to wait as she knew i would have taken that bike out before this operation. and either mess up my old knee or the new to me bike/ dang kids where they learn to be so smart? anyways asking for a little prayer that all goes well. and with luck and hard work i might be on the road again next summer. bike wise. sincerly oldgoat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarges46 Posted August 21, 2012 Share #2 Posted August 21, 2012 You got it oldgoat! And the vstar is a very nice bike. Marilyn has a 1100 and just loves it. She can keep up with the "big" boys all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She can keep up with the "big" boys all day long. Heck Rick... I think Marilyn could keep up with the "BIG BOYS" on a Honda 150. But as for the Vstar 1100, you are right on the money...... Almost as good as the Virago 1100.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Posted August 21, 2012 Share #5 Posted August 21, 2012 Good luck on all fronts. Hope a speedy recovery gets you back into riding condition sooner than you expect and you find a bike that makes you smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as for the Vstar 1100, you are right on the money...... Almost as good as the Virago 1100.... Yup, she could probably pass you, while riding on a 150, without any problems.........
