  1. Lost my mom 10 years ago and not a day goes by that she is not on my mind, still get choked up from time to time. Gods blessing to you and your family, I will keep you in my thoughts!
  2. Great discussion and I have to admit that I have on occassion(I can count them on 2 hands mind you) jumped on the bike and road down the street without a helmet. I do believe in the right to choose as long as that right does not affect me. Unfortunately we all get grouped into one big pile so we are all hell raising drinkers, that harrass communities with our load pipes, trashy women and filthy language. Not wearing a helmet is not a problem until you hit the pavement(so dont hit the pavement), Unfortunately many insurance companies use statistics to justify increasing insurances, for example here in Illinois we had 108 motorcycle fatalities in 09 I believe out of those 80 were not wearing helmets so automatically regardless of the circumstances of the accidents this is justification to increase premiums. In 1986 here in Illinois I had full coverage on a yamaha 650 special of $20 a year. nowhere near that now( yes I understand the cost to repair has gone up). ALL this being said make your own choice but remember that the choice you make doesnt just affect you!!! Ride safe, Ride long, and Ride on everyone!!!!
  3. I have heard about setting up a relay, I am in the process of making a deal on a bushtec trailer in Las Vegas, I am of course in Illinois was wondering if This could actually work to do a trailer relay. or if someone is headed this direction and would bring it with them!!! it does have the bushtec Hiam hitch so that would be a consideration for whomever would consider doing this.

  11. Yes Jason is a very reputable dealer and the trailers are nice in fact I am currently selling raffle tickets to benefit a horse farm that works with folks that have autism, downs syndrome and the like. The drawing will be held on June 2nd and the trailer will be shipped to the winners home at no cost. 1 ticket for $5 or 3 Tickets for $10 there is only going to be 1000 tickets sold and the trailer will go no matter how many tickets are sold. Contact me at norr3mi@aol.com for information.

  15. Guys I ship 5 plus bikes a year, I purchased a bike back in November in boston, Hire this shipping company: www.dreamridetransport.com I just got the bike today. At one point I had thought It was a lost cause. The shipper called the week after he picked it up and said he had broke down in N.C. I wasnt sure why he was there as he was dropping off in Florida then headed up to Memphis. Communication Started to get less and less, his phone numbers got shut off, I called the local law enforcement where his business was and he was using an alias. Finally after relentless pursuit the guy TOM GREGG called and told me that my bike was in storage in North Carolina. I called to confirm set up my own shipper and it was picked up, I of course had to pay a small storage fee as the shipped had stopped paying it. I received my bike with no keys or paperwork. This guy works independently and off uship.
  16. One sits in our garage when my Wife is not riding it. I have ridden her bike(don't tell her). She wanted to move up and so at the chicago IMS last year she went on a mission. By Saturday she came back to the Yamaha truck and said I found my next bike. She showed me, we talked to the dealer, left the show and met the dealer back at his shop, where he let her test ride the XC. Three weeks later they delivered the new on. I have to tell you when I have been able to sneak it out I have been impressed with it's handling and performance. My wife is extremely happy with it. I am not sure what someone is saying about heat but there is no more on the XC than I have on my RSTD.
