    You just have to admit that the calmness is amazing. Absolutely can tell from the start that it won't end up well. I still can't stop laughing.

• Assembly Line Custom

  • From: CromagnaMan
  • Description:

    This is a very sweet custom motorcycle, yes?  Actually, no.  Some young ... scarred knuckled ... greasy fingered ... bike loving gentleman never worked on this bike ... or sweated out getting the exhausts tuned or getting the handle bars at "just the right angle" or anything.  It came off an assembly line.  Granted, it came off a high priced assembly line, but no true lover of cycles ever sweated blood and tears over this machine.  A well to do man put in an order for it ... told the company what kind of motor he wanted, what kind of tires he wanted, what kind of wheels he wanted, what he wanted as far as a color scheme for a paint job and the whole ball of wax.  Once the order was all written up, this sweet machine came off on an assembly line.  "Custom made" without the "Custom". 

    Somehow, this all seems like cheating to me.  Because some yo-yo has the big bucks, he can put in an order, ("do you want pies and fries with that sir?"), and "WHAM! BAM! PRESTO!" ... he's made into an instant "biker".  He hauls this beautiful machine to the rally, (Panama City's "Thunder Beach" in this case), unloads it, and rides it "triumphantly into town" from his five star hotel room.  After a weekend of bedding beautiful women and getting drunk at high priced bars, he rides it triumphantly back to the trailer, hauls it back home, and there it will sit in an air conditioned garage for the next bike rally six or seven month from now. The motor will never be fired up.  It will never be loved.  It's just a prized possession.

    How do I know all this?  Because I asked the owner when I stopped at a gas station to fill my tank and quench my parched throat from the long ride over.

    Pathetic!

    Give me my muchly used and lovingly customized Magna with 24,163.0 miles on it ANYDAY compared to this shining sparkling bike with barely 500 miles on it.  I did ALL the work on my Magna and my Intruder myself ... every barfed knuckle, every scraped and cut finger, every tear of frustration on every rusted bolt was earned and appreciated.  My bikes may not look as nice as this one ... but they are certainly loved more!

• VStar 1100 Oil Filter Relocati

  • From: Wolfye
  • Description:

    

     

    For those of you who are interested in the final result of the oil filter relocation kit install, here's some pictures of my bike with it installed.

    You can see the chrome filter cover just peeping over the exhaust pipe there. I was a bit worried that all that chrome might look out of place on my black bike, but I think it looks really nice down there.

    One thing I was worried about was people said that the area which was covered by the vanity plate with the YAMAHA logo would look bad because it was under the plate. A little bit of Mr Sheen (Aussie furniture polish) and it came up like there was never anything there

    

     

    You can see the hoses in the picture (right). I was initially worried that they would not fit because when I held it against the bike I could not see how they would. I bought the normal length hoses that came with the kit, but they fit perfectly as you can see.

    The oil filter itself is tucked up under the front. I'll have to see how it goes with crap flicking up from the road onto the chrome I guess.

    All in all, I'm very happy with the results. Now I have to wait to put another 5,000 kms on her so I can do the next oil change myself!

• Rough Day

  • From: jakejessica
  • Description:

    Had a pretty rough day..... a great friend of mine that i went to church with and always had a happy face was Killed on his 6 Month old Royal Star yesterday. He was recently back into the two wheel scene and was loving, he road everyday. A person ran a red light and he never saw it coming. I am not going to get down completely because i know he is with Jesus tonight and i will take a ride for him tomorrow..... Lot of Love for him and his family...... Just thank God everyday for the joys we have here on earth and the freedoms we have and feel when we are on two wheels.

• Return to Motorcycling

  • From: mhanlen
  • Description:

    In January of 2009, after retiring in July 2008, I decided I need to get a new motorcycle after not having one for over 10 years. I bought a Star Silverado 1700, and put 16,700 miles on it by September going on road trips.  At that point I wanted more, and went back to the brand I learned to ride on - Triumph.  I traded the Star in on a Rocket III, and I now have my dream bike.  Slowly getting her ready for my first planned road trip - June of 2010 will head for California to Ride Highway 1 along the coast from north of LA to San Francisco.
