Description:
My older brother Jim's best friend when he was a Junior in High School was a guy named Thomas M. Thomas owned the Honda Super 90, and my brother and him would pop all over Las Vegas, (where we lived at the time), to do different errands and just run around town and be teenagers. Many times my brother would head off by himself on the small Honda, and I was TRULY envious! I was a year behind him … a sophomore in high school … and the year was 1968. At that time in Nevada, a minor could own and operate a motorcycle at 14 years of age providing the cycle was less than 100 CC. Once the kid reached 16 years of age, he could purchase any bike regardless of the size of the engine. Because the regular Honda 90 had a square tank rather than the more streamlined tank of the “Super 90”, I thought it made the bike look bigger ... and I wanted one with all of my heart. My dad was dead-set against any of us owning a motorcycle for he had almost been killed on an Indian just prior to WWII. (He was in a gang at the time before he was drafted and, (more or less), he was kind of wild and crazy at the time.) He was absolutely ADAMENT that no child of his would follow in his wild ways ... and to him the way to protect us was to refuse to ever let us own motorcycles. The only argument I ever had in my life where I caused my father to cry was over that desired Honda 90 when I was in my early teens. The day I purchased my first motorcycle, I was a grown man with children of my own, and owned my own photography lab and one hour photo. My Pop was retired at that time, and “worked” at my little place of business helping customers and flirting with my female employees. I pulled up on my “new” motorcycle and proudly showed it off to my employees and my dad … but he just looked at it, quietly took his car keys from his pocket, got in his vehicle and drove away. I understood his fear and disapproval … but it still hurt. My Dad passed away about thirty years ago … my Son Christopher was killed in an auto accident in 1995 six weeks before his 19th birthday … my Mom died almost ten years ago … and my brother Jim passed away almost three years ago. I miss all of them with all my heart, and loosing most of my personal family has been the hardest thing I’ve ever had to deal with. Over the years being a “biker” has evolved from just being a “cool” thing for me to be to being a very important part of my life. I would have never believed that this “sport” could, (and did), become all consuming at times. Like Cruiser Customizing founder Uwe, for several years I didn’t even own a car at all. If it was raining, I wore a rain suit. It was freezing, I layered my clothing. (I never felt the “need” to purchase the electrically heated garments.) If it was storming with wind and lightning, I just “hunkered down” and kept on going. I even drove through a hurricane once … a wild and crazy ride to be sure! As I’ve grown older, I’ve hopefully matured a little, and now at least own a sweet 2005 Trail Blazer that I bought brand new out-of-the-box with all the buzzers and bells. I enjoy my car, and find myself driving it more and more as my health continues to deteriorate … but my first and greatest love and choice for transportation will always be motorcycles. As I was riding through yesterday’s beautiful weather, I found myself feeling sorry for the “cage trapped” people riding along around me … for they don’t even have a clue of the constant rush of “freedom” and joy I feel every time I ride. There is so much sadness in this old world. Loved ones die and are gone forever. In a very real way, “escaping” on one of my motorbikes or the other is the one “bestest” way to keep me sane sometimes. I have a sticker on one of my brain-buckets … (stickers’ are one or two line truths that we sometimes plaster on our helmets) … and one of my favorite stickers states simply, “You will never see a motorcycle parked outside a psychiatrists’ office”. That is so true! We are coming up on the Thanksgiving holiday. Perhaps it would be a good thing to add this thing we are grateful for ... this simple little thing … to the list that we are thankful for. “Dear God, thank you so much for this sport that enables me to keep a modicum of my sanity … and to in small little way to help me deal with my life.”

VMAX Uncovered by V-Sting
- From: johnrote
-
Description:
I recently bought a brand new 2009 VMAX 1700. The person that ordered it last year didn't collect, however I did and am now the proud owner of the VMAX. I used to hate the old VMAX because it could beat my old bike, the 1985 Honda V65 Magna. These two bikes are very different, however. Honestly, the old Honda ran out of guts down the 1/4 mile. The VMAX does not. The guy I bought it from said it would spin the back tire in 3rd gear. The first three gears take some getting used to though. You don't know whether to go all out or keep the throttle back. What I mean is that I was concerned about spinning the wheel at 60 mph and popping a wheelie. But, looking back, I guess I never got on it enough to raise the front. That is until now. I have had the front end off the ground now. Incidentaly, I have made it past the 1000 mile mark and it is almost ready for a good drag with someone. I still haven't went balls out from a dead stop to the end of a quarter. I have a good place to do the quarter, but we'll see.
I put a small windshield on it, but haven't ridden it since. I will tomorrow. Stay tuned to see if the windshield is sturdy enough to take the wind. I think I'll put a smoke tint on the windshiled once I find out if I like it or not. It will match the black body better. Keeps the heavy rain off and also gives me a break from the wind on my 40 mile commute to work. I can take it off really easy if I want to. The only drawback after the initial setup on the windshield is that I had to rotate the clutch lever and reservoir downward. That means to pull the clutch I have to chase it over the top, rather than reaching up for it. It shouldn't be a problem when I'm riding upright, but when I'm trying to lean forward and keep the front end down in the quarter it will be a chore to reach the clutch without having carpal tunnel syndrome set in by the end of the day.
I hope to someday get a video of the bike going down the road in all 5 gears. But, nothing can demonstrate the amount of torque and power this thing has. You just have to be on it. It just keeps pulliing. The pro rider that works for Yamaha said it best, "any more power and this thing would not be street legal".
I find myself looking in my rearview alot. What I mean is I think it's fun to get out on the interestate and get in front of a car and the car thinks he's going to go right up my tail end. Of course, I don't let that happen. A quick flick of the wrist and a gear change and I've left the scene. Or, as I'm getting on the onramp I let the vehicle pass me doing 70. I'm barely going 20 getting ready to get onto the interstate. By the time we hit the end of the onramp I'm already ahead of him. I know they must think I'm crazy, thinking "what some of these bikers do nowadays. It's really dangerous", but in reality they don't know how much power the bike has and therefore think I'm riding crazy. I'm actually just using acceleration just like they do when they jump on the interstate. It's just that they've never seen something move so fast. Anyway, it's entertaining for me and that's what counts.
Got to go. More from "V-Sting" later.

Explanation of a "Guardian Bel
- From: CromagnaMan
-
Description:
Someone asked very recently what a “Guardian Bell” was, and I of course answered his question. I guess I always thought that everyone knew what those little silver or pewter (or even brass) bells were and was surprised that someone didn’t know. Then I started thinking about it for a bit, and realized that I don’t even know where I heard about the little bell in the first place … and it seems it’s always been in my knowledge base for the entire time I’ve been riding. (Almost 30 years now.
) So for those of you that do not know what a Guardian Bell is, here Ya go.
A “Guardian Bell” is based on an old biker’s legend / tale. It seems that going about our travels, there are little creatures called “gremlins” that enjoy causing troubles for bikers. They sometimes cause us to fall over, wreck, drop tree branches on our bikes, heat the concrete under our kickstands causing our bikes to fall over from melted hot-top, (even when no-one is even around the bike), causes our engines to stall, or even "break us down" with mechanical troubles on the road … miles from help. They cause all kinds of mischief!
The biker’s legend is that to keep these gremlins at bay and stay safe, all one needs to do is to ride with a little silver or pewter bell hanging somewhere on our bike. The constant “tinkling” and “clinking” of these little bells cause the gremlins to become curious as to where the ringing comes from, so they put their little heads up in the bell to discover the source of the sound. Once they do so, the constant “tinkling” quickly drives the little gremlins crazy and they fall off the bell and hit the ground killing themselves. (That’s where pot-holes in the road surface come from.
) So when a biker sees a pot hole in the road, instead of cursing it, we should thank some anonymous biker that had the fore-thought of hanging a bell from their bike … causing the pot hole of course … but also preventing the gremlin from causing US trouble as we ride by the same spot.
It’s just a silly and senseless superstition of course.
(I have my guardian bell hanging from the handlebar of my bike in the middle of the risers and another one on the key ring of each of my two motorcycle’s key rings.) Yeah … I know it’s just a superstitious legend … but why tempt fate? Besides, there’s a tremendous amount of pot holes around our roads, and SOMETHING had to cause them! LOL!

What a ride
- From: livn2fly
-
Description:
Hey All, Sorry so long, since i got back from the trip been crazy busy at work.. Man what a sweet ride this summer, except for a couple of heavy rains it was awesome.. The ride up thru Ga was hot but the Sirus radio i put on helped pass the time nicely. The ride up thru TN and KY mountains was amazing, but the best part was coming back down and running thru the Smoky Mountain National Forest, that was a total RUSH!! If anybody has ever ridin it they will totally agree with me, and for those of you that havent..you have to..it was Awesome!! One thing i found out tho, i only had my leather jacket with me, and going thru those passes in the mountain got cool but i need to find something lighter as that was too heavy.
Wish i had some pics to post, but i was so busy enjoying the ride i forgot to stop and take some photos, (duh) but plan on doing that run again hopefully in the spring and will take some then.
All the additions i made to the bike really made the trip more comfortable. I had my pack that was big enuf to use as a backrest, along with the risers i put on, put me about 2 in back so i could kick back against my bag and roll..wish i had put on the highway bars tho. The airhorn i put on came in hand a couple of time with nitwits not paying attn that i was there and tried to share the same lane i was in..LOL. The Airhawk i put on was nice, but i think i will prob change to a mustang seat before the next long ride. I think i am going to take her and head down to the keys sometime this month for a weekend, i think that nice long ride over the bridge will be cool. Anybody interested in a ride from tampa down to the keys? Give me a shout if you are, would be glad to have the company.
Well I think i am going to hit the sack, everybody have a great weekend and keep it safe!!

MY PRIVATE PART DIED
- From: vstargrl
-
Description:
An old man, Mr.. Wallace, was living in a nursing home.
One day he appeared to be very sad and depressed.
Nurse Tracy asked him if there was anything wrong,
'Yes, Nurse Tracy ,' said Mr. Wallace.
'My Private Part died today, and I am very sad.'
Knowing her patients were a little forgetful and sometimes a little crazy,
she replied, 'Oh, I'm so sorry, Mr. Wallace. Please accept my condolences.'
The following day, Mr. Wallace was walking down the hall with his Private
Part
hanging out of his pajamas.
He met Nurse Tracy.. 'Mr. Wallace,' she said,
'You shouldn't be walking down the hall like that.
Please put your Private Part back inside your pajamas.'
'But, Nurse Tracy I can't,' replied Mr. Wallace.
'I told you yesterday that my Private Part died.
'Yes,' said Nurse Tracy, 'you did tell me that,
but why is it hanging out of your pajamas?'
'Well,' he replied, 'Today is the viewing.' - Blog post

Sometimes the rally is more th
- From: Hiwayprisoner
-
Description:
As most of you know by the pics and video I've posted recently that a few of us here were able to get together not only to meet, but go to The Thunder in the Rockies Rally. As I described the rally pics I told of how much of a blast it was for me. I believe a big part of that was being able to meet Rapid (Mark) and his lovely wife JulieVS1100 (Julie). Now I don't want to embarras either one, but I just wanted to say that they are class people and I'm glad to have them as friends. The only thing I'm sorry about is that we didn't have more members be able to meet up. I know that many here in the Colorado area had already made plans and couldn't come. Or some, like myself, didn't have the whole weekend off from their job to be able to make it for all 4 days. Which does make me ask, if it's Labor Day weekend and we're the "labor", why are we having to work and the boss be at home? Something is inherently wrong with that picture! Sorry, almost slipped into a rant there for a moment. Julie, I almost had my crazy bunny suit come out of the drawer! (If you don't know about the bunny suit, read my "Inferiority Complex" blog.) Now here in Colorado we're inching ever closer to that season most riders dread. Winter. Big UGH!!! I'd like to put out here an idea that maybe we can see how many members we can get to meet up for a ride or trip either before winter sets in or in the spring when the monster has left us. It doesn't have to be a major trip/expedition. Just something for a weekend to give more members a chance to meet up and ride together. Now the wife and I, Mark and Julie are already talking of the Peak to Peak ride. I have never gone on that one and want to see it. If we can get more members input that'll be great. There will be only one standing rule, we don't care what you're riding, just come riding. I know the economy has hit some of us harder than others. If we need to plan a few months ahead for spring to let everybody have a chance to work schedules out and work the budgets, we can all work with that. By all means, if members from other states want to be a part of this, come on and get in on this. Freebear and PioneerGirl, if you're planning a vacation anytime in the spring, come on down. The one thing about rallies is that there are sponsors and vendors wanting to sell you something. I'm just looking to have a weekend where members can get together for a good time and some good riding without a beer company wanting to put it's sticker on your butt! So let's hear from you guys. BikinJB, I definitely would like to have your input. And come hell or high water I'm gonna find some way to get out your way before the "White devil" comes rolling over the hills at us! Take care all and ride safe. Wow, I got through a blog without a major rant. I guess the medication is starting to work after all.

Rainy Weekend
- From: PukinDog2
-
Description:
We started out as four couples Saturday morning and meeting two others at destination and not 10 miles out of town it started raining and continued all day. Everyone seemed concerned about me and Janie since we don't have a windshield but she was tucked in behind me and I was getting into it, having fun. One funny incident happened as we rolled through some small town...it's raining, we are in staggered formation, I'm in the 4th position left portion of lane maybe doing 20 mph...some crazy lady, wearing what looked like just pajamas or something, runs out in the street and yells at each of us as we go by "Asshole!"...I was already laughing when we got to her because everyone is yelling back at her, especially our passengers, I respond with a smile and say FU Bitch. I don't know what this lady was so mad about, did we do something wrong? We had only been in town about 15 seconds. When we got to our rental house the rain was letting up and we decided to go for a ride, 10 minutes into it and heavy rain. We spent rest of the night in a nearby bar playing pool and generally having a good time. Had a few showers Sunday morning but the sun started to come out in the afternoon and we had a real nice ride along the river and found a couple good twisty roads. Today was a nice day, sun was shining, mid 70's. We met up with everybody and rode about 30 mi. or so then stopped for breakfast. Janie and I rode with the group for another 20 miles or so and then split off in order to check out the small town my mother grew up in. Unfortunately we didn't get too many photos due to the weather. Gonna have my buddy send me whatever shots he got and will post them soon hopefully. We all had a good time, The girls are already planning something else...
