If you gonnna poke fun at us at least spell the word Canadian correctly, spelling it like you did will only start other arguments that end with...............oh yea when was the last cup you won.

Another great find..........you seem to have the magic. Mike.

Oooops

Rich You got it, the first driveway repair is always the real indication that spring has sprung. Mike

Puc, buddy you did it again. What a great find. Can already tell your having a blast. Gonna have to start checkin out the local Estate Sales haha. Way to go. Mike

Looks like a great bike, nice pick up. Mike

It was nice of you to share with the rest of us. All the best to you and Eileen on getting things back on track and able to move forward. We haven't met but like many others I feel like I have known you for a while just from everything with the site. Again glad to hear things are getting right for the two of you.

Good news, keep it going. It is always nice to hear when something works out.

My 2 cents We had an 86 Venture, my wife always talked about just looking at the back of my head, she considered getting a portable DVD player and sticking it to the back of my helmet, now on the 02 yes she sits higher so now she can see stuff, but said the backrest on the 02 is lower and she lets me know when the shifts are not the smoothest. She likes the seat on the 02 and is trying to figure out how she can knit while on the back, so that tells me she feels both comfy and safe back there. I have looked at the Corbin seats and passenger backrest, the back rest looks taller on the Corbin then my stock one. Next:detective:

I told him that the pearl is faster than the black but I don't think he believed me. Holy smokes everyone knows the Black Midnight is the best lookin bike and even better lookin with extra chrome..........and yup the chrome makes it faster too...:stirthepot::stirthepot: Mike

Good one, have to share that one. Thanks, Mike.

This is a video of the Kawasaki, just messing around. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwHG..._r4t_T6UlUBQsA The big problem is this was a solo riding bike only. No one wanted to jump on with me after the first wheelie. Great video, ya the kawi sure could be lots of fun. Thanks for sharing Mike.

Wayne, I know what you mean, I made the move from 1st gen to 2nd gen last summer and it has been a good one so far. The extra room was perfect the only thing I don't like is the trunk on the 2nd gen is smaller and the bags seem a bit smaller. Still good luck and I am sure you will have a blast on the new to you scoot. Mike

Ok blame it on us we are good for that, but I wasn't even going to bring that up. Mike.

Puc That video is awesome, what a great lookin bike and love the sound, almost make me feel like going up to my brothers and checking out his FXR (can't let him know how much I like it as he is always giving me the Jap Crap stuff). Good luck with the person coming to see it.

Kevin, Sounds like you guys have a great trip being planned, I just wish I could convince Tammie to go for that long of a trip on the bike. For now we will stick to our 3 or 4 day trips. You and Deb have a blast on the trip. Mike

Hey Puc, Great find on the shovel, love those old HDs, my brother has an 83 FXR that he picked up for a song (and he can't carry a note either). Love my Venture but also have a soft spot for the old shovels and sporty's they are so basic and simple. Cool find. Mike

I was in the same boat a couple of years ago but with my daughter as she wanted to ride. We made her take the Motorcycle training course, not sure what insurance rates are like in the US but up here in Canada they are silly for all ages even worse for people under 21, for that reason we started her on a 250 Marauder, yes way too small for someone over 6 feet, but a real good bike to get your feet wet on. I would go along with a few others advocating a bike with an upright riding position especially for someone who is taller, and the older bikes are great bikes to start on, as mentioned they are pretty reasonable to buy, great way to learn about taking care of a bike, and generally a bit easier on the insurance. Over this past winter, our daughter has picked up a 750 Virago which for her is going to be almost perfect as a second bike. My 2 cents Mike

I will let you guys do the picking, I will have to try doing what you said Kevin to remove the badges. I need my back up here in case I mess up on the computer. I am basically a cut n paste email guy.

that guy has some skill, very cool.

ok Gotcha. Kevin how did you take the badges of the picture of the CB1300P, just curious. Thanks,

not bad for a newbie.

Looks great, really like the heel rests, I have never seen them before. Rear light looks like it was made for your bike nice fit. Mike
