    He was the man. Did so much for the recording industry. Just saw a TV show on him and Mary last week.

    Yeah, I have seen this clip before. I have seen it described as the cagers fault for going too slow and sight seeing. He may have been in the way but I'm not blowing the double yellow...unless I can see for miles in all directions...lol I would have stopped, however the chance of a confrontation, I would imagine, would be high. Some people dont have the guts to deal with a high tension situation like that. I would have to see if the rider needed EMT and do what I could. Maybe send the others in my group away for help, then stay and help them for a hour or so....lol Everybody in that video could have preformed way better.

    Had to go to NJ for work today. Knew what I needed to do and what to take. So I took the bike to save gas and sneak in a ride day. On the way back I'm tooling down 295 south near Glassboro and I saw a bike up ahead. I caught up to him to see what he was riding. It was a maroon mkI. did me proud to see that yammy blasting down the road. We rode at 75/80mph for a ways, then I had to get off. These bikes are awsome and I allways enjoy seening other than mine out on the road. I wanted to try and talk to him at an exit if he pulled off. But , he was on a mission.....

    Gear is good! I used to ride my first bike in t shirt and sneakers. I was 20 something back then and didn't care or think I'd go down. The one cold and raining morning I did wear a old 3/4 leather jacket, I went down. Lost back wheel traction in a right turn...dont know why. Locked back break..then let it off. Bike stood up went into a tank slap and threw me off the bike. Thank god no car was in the oncoming lane. Me in front of bike sliding. bike flipping and sliding right behind me. Jacket saved me from RR on hip. But the slam from about 6 feet up going 25 or so bruised my whole right side hip. thigh etc. Was 3 or 4 weeks of discomfit. I picked it up and rode into work with a broke fork brace and bent bars etc. It took some fun out of riding but I still rode it for a year till I sold it. There is way to much stuff out on the road that you can't control. From that day on I understood why gear in good. And with all the new stuff out today it's a no brainer for me. I'm fine in my mesh gear. and full face helmet. I dint give a damn what anybody says or thinks about it. I have also had 2 or 3 females tell me I looked good in the gear. Which was nice, as I do care what the ladies are thinking...lol I really have a problem with the way the cruiser crowd disregards the importance of gear. I watched some of the movie "Wild Hogs" the other night and it was crazy the way they portrayed MC riding as safe and that you can walk away from most spills. Thats nuts. And they were riding HD's ...if you even scratch one of them, its a $500.00 repair. Also theres a few MC shows which also looks like HD sponsors, the riders are all under dressed and are shown riding really close together, side by side and doing hot dog stuff from time to time. Its not right. There are so many people who should not ever be on a MC. They now think they can handle a big MC like its a kids paper boy bike. The guy that dropped his MC at the MFC course and his wife that could not hold the clutch handle in without two hands. Were saying "were gonna go right to the dealer and get a road king and a sportster for the wife, and man we will be cool and in the HD club". Neither one of them should ever go out on the road on a MC from what I saw. Even on a 250cc. Riding a MC is for people that can RIDE a bike. The ones with the money but no experience are at great risk. I dint like to see or hear about people getting hurt. It seems the industry just doesn't care that much. I wear ATGATT it just feels right, its probably cause I have crashed my 12 speed racing bike untold times at speed and the one time I high sided the MC that made me glad I know about and wear MC gear. There is no excuse, I was out in full gear in the 90s for 3 or 4 hours the other day and was fine. The guys that think its not the right "look" for riding, can kiss my butt. I'm not about doing what the crowd does, I'm about what best for me and my kin folk, should I get unlucky. It's all good...till you go down. Dress for the worst, hope for the best.

    Oil change time, and I'm going with the Delvac 1300. It was $10.00 a gal. At Wally world. I got two. I think I'm gonna put it in the Van too. Next bike change I think I'll try the Delo400 from Chevron. What ever one shifts the best in the 3000 interval will get the job. The bike likes the Rotella Dino thats in it now. But I heard the Delvac is very good stuff and has a new formula etc.

    I had the baby magnaV30 as my first street bike. Man I loved pissing off the guys on HDs with that thing. It was fast for a 500cc bike. The V65 is legendary for being very, very, fast. But so is the Vmax. So both V4s are pretty amazing motors. The yammy I think is less fussy about valves and stuff. I really liked the V65 Sabre with the touring package. A guy in my town had one like that and it was sharp. I got lucky when I found my 88 Venture for $1500.00 Its a whole lot of MC for the money, I really dont think I will need to ever replace it. I may have to fix something major one day. But I think it's worth it.

    Just for kicks I went and took a look at this bike today. Runs, needs starter and tires for sure. I guess these bikes have a following too. But I'm not sure. It comes with all the factory touring package...$600.00 Marcus Hook, PA I told him I thought the luggage alone is probably worth $300.00 to somebody who has one of these. It looks like a fairly decent project for a MC guy. Could make a few bucks on it, I'm thinking. Or a nice tourer for the wife? They are kinda fast thou.
  18. ddoggma
    I'm in for at least one.

    Goofy biker on the cookie cutter chopper was way out of line.

    The bike salvage yard wont let me take pix of the parts or bikes. They say people are posting his stuff on CL and stealing his bussiness or something. They do have a back rest on a pre 86 its old and faded and bent alittle. He wants 20 bucks for it and if its a bugger to get off more. It may be rusted on pretty good. I was gonna go get it, but reading this it seems it wont fit my 88. Hes got 2 Mk1s most stuff is gone off them. Whats left is rough.
  21. ddoggma
    Thats a nice 1st bike. You wont lose any money on that. if you keep it nice. The 450 is in demand and always will be.

    All tires can have a bad one here and there. The metz have the most bad stories , I have not heard of a Continental or a Michelin having problems.I run Kenda Kruz tires and like em. But somebody had one peel on them recently. But, like I said any tire can fail its a crap shoot.
  24. ddoggma
