    I'm fairly certain both the Seca and XS 650s came in red in 82. prospektbild_von_1982.jpg caferacersociety.blogspot.com 400 × 295 - The alternative: The Yamaha XS650.

    I'm real happy with my Aluma. No regrets at all. http://www.alumaklm.com/motorcycle-trailers/item/50-mct-towable-motorcycle-trailer.html Heres a list of builders. http://aerobourne.com/motorcycletrailerindex9.htm http://venturerider.org/forum/picture.php?albumid=517&pictureid=4475

    I prefer the Phillips Motel http://www.phillipsmotelonline.com/ and Tuskeegee Motel. http://tuskeegeemotel.com/ Nothing wrong with Two Wheel Inn except all their beds are twin beds. ALL the motels up in that area are motorcycle friendly.

    About 15K miles on the RSV and 5K miles on the VTX. And the season aint over yet.

    Don't go to the Dillard House unless your REAL hungry. I ride an hour and a half just to eat breakfast there.

    A little pricey for my budget. I have one of these that say's, ROYAL STAR Because I'd Rather Ride This guy got started by making shirts for the vtxoa.com and has branched out. Good stuff. http://home.comcast.net/~tpbiker1/Royalstar.htm

    I love to run 28 from 129 to 143. It's one of my favorite rides. It actually runs all the way to Augusta but remains a great ride all the way down to Walhala SC. I like to take Warwoman Rd. (another great rd) out of Clayton Ga. to 28, take a left and go up the mtn. to Highlands NC.

    BUMP So, no one has dealt with Extreme Powersports?
  10. Motorcycle Mike
    Thanks, Extreme is still cheaper. No I havent checked with Pinwall as I'd be suprised to find a like new front fender. I'll check them out tho.
  11. Motorcycle Mike
    Thanks, but Extreme is still cheaper.
  12. Motorcycle Mike
    Thanks flb but Extreme is still cheaper. I've spent the last few weeks searching for the best price while waiting on the insurance co. to pay off. I now have check in hand an ready to get down to making her pretty again. I've never dealt with them tho. Just trying to make sure they are reputable before pulling the trigger.

    I'm shopping for parts for my damaged front fender and have found the parts at Extreme Powersports http://www.partforyamaha.com/pages/OemParts?aribrand=YAM to be cheaper than Parts Shark. Has anyone here done business with Extreme? Good experience or bad?

    The easiest way to find anything is to buy a replacement. The old one will magically appear. There are a few tools that I have spares.
  15. Motorcycle Mike
    Thanks!

    What pins are we talking about here?

    Shirley has never complained about hot feet, and I've never noticed the RSV being particularly hotter than my other bikes. But I insist we both wear over the ankle boots. Do you both wear boots?

    Looks pretty cool but I prefer to put my stuff IN a trailer, not on it.
  20. Motorcycle Mike
    Shirley and I have included Ponch and family in our prayers.

    I dont know about 2 ply vs 6 ply but 55 pounds is WAAAY too much air in that tire. I have been running 25 pounds in my Aluma MCT tires for around 30000 miles and they still look new. (Wish I could get that kind of mileage out of the MC tires). I carry a plug kit and pump instead of a spare.

    3 to 4 hours commuting. I guess I "average" around 30 hours just riding. That number can fluctuate greatly tho.

    I have no doubt the ins co will require me to get a professional estimate. I already know where I'll take it. I seriously doubt there is more damage, it was a very low speed impact and they stopped almost as soon as they made contact. But a pro will make that determination. I dont know if the shop will charge for the estimate or not, but the guy I talked to at the ins co said they would pay that. I may be jumping the gun as well. They MAY require that a shop does the repairs. We'll see.
  24. Motorcycle Mike
    Hmmm. Black IS the fastest color. Part of the reason I got this bike is because Shirley LOVES the color. But this may be an option if I cant find the right color. The only damage is to the fender. I've checked it out very well.
  25. Motorcycle Mike
    Yep! That pretty well says it all.
