I got hooked when I was 10 and my cousin, who was 18, took me for a ride on his '52 Harley. Bought my 1st bike in 1969. A new Yamaha 125 twin. By that time, I'd ridden various other's bikes.

... and snuggling isn't the only "opportunity" a man should take advantage of when he gets old ...

Notice the words on the trailer in the background... TRANSPORTATION MUSEUM LOL!!!

oh c'mon ... say it!

Seems I heard they made some changes in either 2011 or 2012 to address the heat issue. Wife and I took one for a ride when they came out in 2009. She felt she didn't have enough room. I like the style of the bike but also feel their plastics are too thin. Side bag latches seemed poorly designed. I haven't taken a close look at them for a few years.

nahhhhhhh.... they will mimic the Victory line ....

The new Valk is about as fugly as a Victory Vision ... actually, fuglier. Personally I don't care for the design ideas Honda is coming out with on some of their bikes.

Forecast for Vancouver ... I know what I'll be doing this weekend

I also have a PS3 and GTA5. Don't play it very often anymore... when I get in the mood and that's usually in Winter around Christmas. Also have Red Dead Redemption, Cabella's Big Game Hunter, IL-2 Sturmovik plus a few others that I don't play. I mostly enjoy flight simulation or air combat, car or motorcycle racing. I have a PC game called Apache AH-64 Air Assault. Played that a lot a few years back and really enjoyed it. We recently moved and all my PS3 stuff is boxed up and probably won't see action again for the rest of this year.

Test of smilie :D;) :cool: :cool: :cool: Change font here ---> insert smilie here ---> Type text first and select | change font, then insert smilie So it appears that if you change the font before typing text, then insert smilie, you get the ""

Wife and I were out riding for about 4.5 hours yesterday. Clear skies and temps around +13 celcius ... it was grrrrrreat!

Did you watch the vid to the end?

It could be this ... (watch to the end)

I've yet to see one of these in person but I'm really itchin for a chance to demo them. Over on the Vic forum there's a number of guys who've bought a new Indian and by all accounts, they're very happy. Youtube has several vids about them and Jay Leno does a real good review.

Belt squeal is generally an alignment issue. I sometimes get a bit of it on a cold morning when I'm just starting off ... after a bit it goes away.

21,580 kms and it's down to the wear bars. Not bad for a stock tire. Replaced it with a Michelin Primacy Alpin PA3 ZP 195/55-16 RF Yep, I'm once again a DARKSIDER!!

Sunday here is forecast sunny with a high of 11 celcius ... looks like the bike will get some exercise!!

No need for that in our house ... either they're eaten or the chef uses them in something. As for the beer ... it never seems to last long either

understood and agreed!

Actually, it wasn't intended to be a joke to begin with ... apparently it went that way tho

This is true; however, speaking only of the engine, there is a lot of "after market" stuff available such as big bore kits, cams, heads, etc. You can build a Vic engine up from stock quite a bit amd there are a number of specialty shops out there doing just that. That said, they aren't a basis for a TF race engine.

So, is the rear of a banana the end or the stem? (I really should know this.. LOL)

If this is somehow connected to me getting an email when someone quotes me, I'd like to be able to turn that off. Never got those emails before.
