    How long have you been riding....

    Since 1965, was 12 years old. Drive around town without a license for a couple years. My older brother bought this old Cushman, a 1958 Cushman Model 721 Highander for me for $50. Having the scooter really opened up the other half of town for me. Previously had to ride a bicycle to Main street...

    If you were going to buy another bike....

    In Nov. 2011 started looking for a bike to get back into riding after over 30+ years. First I wanted a 75, 76, or 77 Honda CB 750 Four like I had brand new in 75. Decided I wanted newer less maintenance. Looked for a Honda 750 Nighthawk because it was like the son of the CB 750 Four. Talking to...

    To Hot To Ride?

    Recent trip to my dermatologist resulted in him giving me the name of 2 riding apparel companies. They are solumbra.com and collibar.com. I am interested in a very cool long sleeve riding shirt that will reflect the sun and be cool. Never looked but as soon as I post this will go see. Take a...

    What Do You Think?

    Looks good, but some parts may not be available any longer. Here is the bike: http://oklahomacity.craigslist.org/mcy/3137802708.html My yamaha mechanic, very good-lots of experience, said to get a newer one. Gave lots of good reasons. I listened to him.

    What Do You Think?

    http://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/model/yamaha/yamaha_xvz1200td_l.htm The plain venture is available, a 1983. Replaced stator last year. He cleaned the carbs by himself. It was not done perfect, has a slight hesitation on take off. He says a carb sync will correct it. Looks like in perfect...

    This fabrication may help make the SS seat look more acceptable.

    My Custom Vmax SS Seat

    Actually I fibbed a little. Wanted the SS 396 but ended up with a Chevelle Malibu. 350 ci, 4 barrel holley carb, 300 hp. Bucket seats, three speed on the floor. Positrac rear end, would smoke both tires. Not bad for a 17 year old. Gas at 20 cents a gallon, plenty of stains on the bench rear...

    My Custom Vmax SS Seat

    Update 7/20/12: Riding on the seat is still great after 2 days of rides. Like the height, width, softness, firmness. For me, I still like it much much more than seats I have tried, ie, stock, Corbin and Maxgasser. They are both great seats but for me, well I was looking for something else...
