  1. No association. I was just stating a fact for others interested. More than 1 buyer out there looking for deals, locations, etc. Just adding info about New Star, and other new/used motorcycle sales I knew of.
  2. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Yamaha-STRATOLINER-S-YAMAHA-STRATOLINER-S-NEW_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742Q2em153Q2el1262QQcategoryZ6718QQihZ005QQitemZ150315709148QQtcZphoto Only about 4 hours left, But keep checking back for other great deals at this location.
  3. I’ve been seeing the USA being sold out since the 80's. Paper mills gone, Textile mills gone, Steel mills gone, Miscellaneous other factories gone, Machine shops closed, and on and on and on. Don’t want to predict our Country’s future. It’s been led by corruption and greed and whatever else wrongs for way too many years. All the wrong people seem to have had all the rights, and knew how to misuse them.
  4. Actually right now I’m bikeless. Sold my thumper in August to a happy camper. I’ve owned bikes since 1966 from 80cc to 1500cc. Truimph 900 Tridents to Harley FLTRI’s to Honda’s and Yamaha’s and Suzuki’s and Kawasaki’s. Duel purpose to cruiser to touring to standard to... Money is not a problem. It’s almost like I’m looking for something to speak to me, to say, "buy me." It ain’t happening. This is kinda like a first. I might even give them up for a while, ‘till the time is right...
  5. We recently compared in the showrooms most of the tour bikes again: Venture, Gold Wing, Electra Glide Classic, and BMW’s offering. For room and "back seat approval" the Venture wins. Just can’t get ourselves to "Do It;" On any of those available choices. Fact is there are no bad ones, they are all good and/or better in some way or the other. The wife loves her 2008 400 Burgman, and is hinting on the 2009 650 version for me. You know, in the real world it just might be the right choice. When my lady speaks, I listen. Believe it or not, It’s down to Venture or Burgman 650. Almost worlds apart yet so close to our riding needs.
  6. Sounds great, thanks for the heads up to those looking. But for me, I probably belong with the dinosaurs as my avionics specialties were with the F-14 aircraft, AWG-9, AWG-15, etc. And at my age I'm almost retired. Probably should be already if I was smarter...
  7. It's been in the 40's and 50's here in the morning. But by 10:00 AM it's usually in the 70's So I can live with that.
  8. Personal responsibility. If you didn't live by it, then pay the price. Come on down to our level. The wife and I have been responsible. You can't hurt us! "If you can't give it away, you don't possess it, it possesses you."
  9. Same thing, straight to the trash.
  10. I agree 100%. Now for a soultion to our domestic $$$ problems; which country or government sets the best example for the USA to follow and pull us out of this mess? Part two: can we or will we follow that example; and eventually prosper again as a nation?

  13. Taking advantage of early voting, the wife and I voted today. No lines, no problems. Done for another four years. Hopefully all those who should/could vote, will vote.
  14. I would have sent you the $$$ to take that lady out to dinner if you were really broke.
  15. One usually sets up a schedule where the generator starts and runs automatically maybe twice a month to keep the battery charged. Many new owners after finding the amount of gas consumed and the price to operate choose to charge the battery with a normal charger. Some of the bigger KW generators will consume enough gas to scare you or break you, whichever comes first. Great to have in an emergency though.
