Thanx guys. No it is not turbo charged. It has the 3.3 V-6. I do not want a turbo charged 4 banger. We keep our vehicles for over 200k miles and I just do not see a turbo charger lasting that long. I did have a supercharged V-6 Nissan Xterra. Thar had 249k miles on it when I got rid of it. That thing had low end torque like you would not believe. Hopefully we have good luck with this one. The dealer really fouled up the order and made the whole purchase not one bit enjoyable.

Well after a long dranw out ordeal, we finally got our new SUV. My wife had a 2013 Honda CRV. We were not too happy with the 4 banger performance or the handling in the snow. It would go through the deep stuff, but once you got up over 25 mph, it felt like it was "hydroplaning" on the snow. So we decided to get a Kia Sorento. But, there were none available in Sage Green with black leather interior and the options we wanted. We got ahold of a dealer and they inquired with Kia Corporate if we could order one. Generally if a vehicle is built over seas, they come they way they come. But the Sorento is built right here in the good ole USA in Georgia. They let us "custom" order one. Took 4 weeks, a few hic ups with the dealer......loooong story there on how they messed up the order. But we are the proud owners of the one and only......2015.....Kia Sorento in the state of Michigan. AAA insurance had to generate the insurance codes for the vehicle before they could insure it. Here it is. And I must say, I am very impressed with the fit and finish quality. 290 hp V-6.....it moves pretty good!

Righty tighty,lefty loosey. The tap the nut with the wrench to break the seat on the taper.

Your a good man Brian!

I am open to a new location. Very disappointed, but Don has his reasons. Hopefully it is a timing/work issue and nothing else. May want to start a new thread if your serious, rather than this one going off track.

For me, I would either get the Kawasaki Voyager or the HD Ultra Classic. But from the choices you listed, it would be the HD. The BMW does nothing for me, the Indian is not pillion friendly. All that money and no trunk and the passenger gets pegs???? The victory as far as I am concerned is just ugly.

Sweet, when it gets closer we will figure out a spot to meet. Maybe same as last year? I just gotta get my left knee operated on and get healed up. Ortopedic surgeon on Monday, ordered an MRI for Thursday, go back next Monday for the results and see how bad it is.

Jay, Larry and John........are we riding down together again this year? I am going on Friday morning again. Randy

WOW, that did not take long!! Glad I got my room!!!

Not to get off subject, but John Wayne hated horses.

My second gen sits from November until April o a battery tender. I just turn on the fuel, choke it and crank it. It usually fires right up.

Some things just do not deserve a response. Some things I read just for the info but have nothing needed added by me.

Yammer bought a Second Gen?!?!?!?! Where have I been?

Jay, we went in the morning. Our plans had to change for the afternoon.

You should come up next year during the International Motorcycle Show.

You get what you pay for. You go the cheap way out, you get cheap parts. They beez cheap for a reason..............

I hear tell in 07 they had an issue with not torqueing the heads properly. I had a small coolant leak last year, maybe worth replacing the gaskets while I am in there.

I plan on putting mine up on the lift in March and doing it myself. I may just go ahead and pull the heads. Not sure just yet. Bike runs fine,but I know they need re-shimmed. I hate the thought of someone else wrenching on my bike.

Rent one while your out there. Contact the local Harley dealer and see if they have any for rent.

Go to ebay and buy a refurbished.

Nope, no sleds.

Jay, Mary works until 2:30 on Saturday. We expect to be there around 4pm. We can't gt there any earlier and I do not want to go Sunday. So if 4pm is good for all, then let's do it. I understand if others want to go earlier. I typically go through just about the whole thing other than the crotch rockets and dirt bikes. I want to check out the vendors section also. I am looking for heated gear.

Don't listen to Jay, You and Sandy are more than welcome John.

Larry and Jay, let's keep in touch and make it happen. Would love to see the both of you.
