Exactly! If it's just a matter of not being able to transport it could be transported one way or another by relay method. We never did get a chance to ride together this summer...

The problem with that Puc is that EVERYTHING was lost with the great crash! All of us had to reregister...

Yah! Maybe a little Marvel Mystery Oil poured into each spark plug hole and rock the engine back and forth like Venturous suggested may be in order...

Browse Ebay motors for your particular make and model for accessories...

I see 4 members who are still on the site, Freebird, Black Owl, Boo, and Reiny Rooster. I didn't join the site until a couple of years after, prior to the great crash. Unfortunately we can't access the membership list but I would love to see who is still here and who isn't...

Yah Puc! All it needs is removable T tops...

Yup! Ya done good! I have to disagree with George though, 100,000 miles is just broken in...

This isn't a website, it's a FAMILY and we're glad to have you with us!!

Yes! The 1st gens have a Reserve Lighting Unit that detects if the low beam is drawing current, and if it isn't it switches on the high beam. 2nd gens are a product of cheaper better faster (choose 2) technology...

Maybe... Actually I think Swifty may have been referring to Naugh T after reading Brad T's response.

Becky and I just read the post and are shocked! Noooo! Don't want to hear this! We are, and will pray for the both of you!

Maybe this should be your next ride... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2aEZgLssEc]2014 new Honda Valkyrie teaser promotional video - YouTube[/ame]

Ehhh, he makes fun of all of us but we still keep him around...

Been home safe and sound for about 1/2 hr! Great time!! Wassamatter Dave, Ground Hugger's wife come on too strong???:banana:

Less than 10,000 this year. A lot less than I want to ride...

Leaving in a few minutes...

Good one Dan!!

Shhhhh!! Don't let Silver T know, I have him fooled into thinking the shadows tell the date... ...the Shadow knows! Hehehehehe

I wonder if that's the one American Pickers found in Europe last year...

From the length and direction of the shadow I'm thinking January... For a second I thought the title was a reference to retired life!

That's pretty much why Becky and I are skipping it...

Yup! You Southerners better watch out, BT and I are making a list and checking it twice...

Try a new plug? Gap may be off. It does seem like a carb issue though...

Hmmmm, not a Michael Bolton fan, eh Randy?!!? Here I thought maybe winter was getting to you...

As you can tell from varied responses, there are a bunch of things that can and will cause vibrations. If you are bottoming out you can be low on shock oil, your springs are shot, you need more air pressure, or your anti dives are not working. It is highly recommended that you rebuild your forks and install Progressive springs. Inspect all your parts to make sure you don't have a bent tube, etc. and make sure the new oil you put in is the same amount in both shocks. If the both front shocks are not equal in oil level AND air pressure it can cause handling issues as one side may act different than the other causing different recovery rates etc. from a bump; one side will rise different from the other side. Proper tire balance is very important for minimizing front end oscillations as well as the tire itself! There have been cases of people installing a new tire then finding out the tire for some reason or another caused handling issues. Also never mix radials and bias tires as it can and will cause handling issues. Yes, with that old of a bike I would replace the head bearings and races. You are talking 28 year old parts and just as old grease. Also make sure the torque on the head nut is at the proper spec. Too loose or too tight will cause oscillations. Member Dingy sells a really handy tool just for this purpose. Another way to reduce oscillations is by stiffening up your fork brace by replacing it with either a Superbrace or one that member Condor makes. The one Condor makes is just as good as the Superbrace and a LOT cheaper! Lastly, as mentioned, the rear suspension can effect handling as well. Make sure there is no sideplay with your swingarm, and that the mounting nuts haven't loosened. Replacing the swingarm bearings is a good idea. You will also want to check out all your bushings and sleeves on the rear shock mount assembly while you are at it. Many of us have drilled and tapped for grease fittings at each sleeve. The nylon sleeves usually don't go bad as much as the metal bushings developing wear. Parts are getting scarce though. All these things add up to effect the overall handling of the bike...
