    SCAM??

    Did you ask him about his shovel ... you know ... the one for the b/s !
  4. I doubt anyone could get a 1st gen, or 2nd gen, or for that matter pretty much any other big cc bike up to redline in top gear. I had my '85 up to just over 220 km/h (around 135 mph) and it wasn't at the redline. Could have maybe pushed it a bit faster but it was pretty much running out of "oooomph" by then.
  5. hey!!! that's MY HAIR!!! ... and just how the heck did it get into those mufflers?? (dang... amazing how my hair gets around when I don't)
  6. Clowning around? might that be yerself yer riferrin tae m8t? LOL

  8. I would suggest the above is a good example of what Pejorative really means ...
  9. Howard ... what's up buddy? I've seen 2 posts by you in the past 15 minutes and both were to extremely old threads LOL Were you hired by the Boss to come in and revive all the old threads? Just kiddin ya ... welcome to the site. Become a member ... it's the best $12 you'll ever spend but beware, once you do, you'll be hooked and wind up spending a whole ton more on fixin and farkle for that scoot of yours!
  10. Howard, I would hope he's got it figgured out by now since the thread started in Sept, 2008 and the last post before yours was Dec, 2008. But then, considering how complicated it is... maybe not!!

  16. must be that "island life" that's causing it...
  17. now there is some valuable information that I was totally IGNORANT about...
  18. I agree and that's how I would have interpreted it ... but then again, I might have been ignorant of the real underlying implication ...
  19. heck, I don't even have to think about some things and they come and bite me !!
  20. Their intelligence is only gauged by their ability to substantiate their opinion and make a believer out of me .... in most cases, they FAIL !!
  21. To a degree, yes. I really liked my RSMV but 2 things (well, maybe just one) caused me to sell it and buy the Wing. 1. It just didn't handle pulling the tent trailer that well thru the mountains and I can't go anywhere around here without encountering mountain roads. 2. I got tired of the persistent clutch basket whine. Number 1 was the main reason for switching. That said, if I wasn't pulling that tent trailer, I probably would have eventually switched to either a Victory CCT or an Electra Ultra. Now, some would probably say they have no problems pulling their trailer with their RSV but frankly, if you've never ridden a Wing and pulled the same trailer, you can't say you have no problems ... you just don't realize you have them. The difference is night and day. I found I really had to "work" at driving the RSMV when pulling the trailer thru the mountains. We plan on using the tent trailer a lot once we retire and I don't want to spoil the experience by not feeling good about driving from A to B.
  22. see.... I can sit here and razz either 1st or 2nd genners coz I ride neither ... ohhh I am having so much fun!!! :Laugh:
  23. ahem ... yes, while you 1st genners sit there "thinking" about this (as you repair yet another problem on your antequated 1st gen), the 2nd genners will be out cruisin the twisties on our "hardley wannabes" ....
  24. ... and you're living proof that is not true ... Man...I'm sorry ..but I just couldn't resist..
  25. The first time I changed the oil on my RSMV, I could not easilly remove the filter so ... I drilled a hole thru it and stuck a screwdriver thru the hole and was able to twist the filter loose. In the meantime I had drained the oil into a pan which was below the bike. Put new filter on, filled the engine with oil, etc etc and then went to drain the old oil from the pan. This was a relatively new bike and this oil change was only the second one ... the PO had already done the 1st change at a dealer. To my horror, I found quite a lot of metal filings in the bottom of the drain pan. I was freaked!! ... thought I'd bought a screwed motorcycle ... I sweated over this for about 10 or 15 min ..... until I realized the metal filings came from me drilling the hole in the filter.... :rotfl:
