"Well I ended up getting that Suzuki Boulevard C50 I was looking at...I have had it about a week and a half now and totally love it!!"

Very nice looking bike, you will enjoy it. Today I rode from Corpus Christi to San Antonio, and if I had not of had a windshield my face would have been yellow from all the bugs. If you get yourself a detachable windshield you will be able to take it off anytime.....that is what I recommend. Also it makes it easier to clean around the headlight with it removed...........ya did good with your new bike.

Oh come on Toad, it's called pickin and grinin

Were going to need some pics of your trip too, especially of Padre Island ( I'm jealous).

PrimalScream · 08-14-2008, 10:42 AM

Ya, I hear you about the shield for long cruises Toad...I did put my shield from my old 400 on last night to try it out and it actually fits pretty good...and I took it off this morning in about 5 min before I rode to work. So I will probably go with that for a while. But I also hear where you're coming from Hurricane...I love cruising around with no shield especially around town or under 55-60mph.

The latest trend of the Yuppies, except they like to wear sandals. I'm glad were given a choice unlike the helmet law in some parts, but it really blows my mind to see how many highly educated people choose to be stupid.
Guess it's just the blind leading the blind.

JIreland · 08-17-2008, 07:08 PM

Happily surprised there is a bike section here!

This is my latest..CBR 600cc. I had a 400cc VFR (NC 30) before this (Stolen though).

Just got this bike this week.

EDIT: Just seen I cant upload a pic until I have 15+ posts...sorry.

Check out these chopped scooters

Ha, those are pretty interesting and the price is right.

I checked these out at a show a few months ago JohnnyPag.com - JohnnyPag Motorcycles 300cc and in the 4k price range, just right for my fiance's first bike. Maybe I'll send her to riding school for Valentine's Day

ExNavyInHouston · 12-30-2008, 02:14 PM

My 2005 Deluxe ...

She now cranks out 99 HP and about the same Torque.

toad · 12-30-2008, 08:30 PM

Nice looking Deluxe Squid.

I especially like the bars, pipes, wheels, and smoked windshield.

You ever ride with the PGR on any missions?

No Toad, I'm not a member. I spent the last year and half traveling a lot. I don't want to make a commitment to a group I can't be dependable.

I have considered them.

Also, I grew up in Missouri for a segment of my life. I was up near St. Charles. I come up there 3 - 4 times a year.

I also try to get to the Ozarks to ride when I can. This year I chose Colorado.

We were looking at a Eureka Springs based ride this next year, but I have my Spring booked up and my secretary is due in July. When she is out I have to work a lot more, so there goes my Summer.

My old Navy buddy and riding friend is in Chicago and he wants me to come up there for a September Rally. In that case I would just rent a bike for a few days.

Bars -- are Chubby Wild Ones (Road King 508s I think)

Pipe -- D & D Fat Cat

Wheels -- Harley 9 Spokes

Windshield -- Shortened "Rifle" Brand - It just mounts into the stock hardware.

ExNavyInHouston · 12-30-2008, 10:35 PM

This is August 2006 at Devil's Tower (Sundance, WY).

You can see it was a few modifications ago.

Here's where I learned a Ford Pick Up truck has better brakes than a Softail.

The club I ride with has an event in March in AZ if your interested. It's not on the website yet but I am going to address that probably today.

Thanks for sharing the pics ENIH, that really is a beautiful bike!

April 16-19, 2009 is "Spring Time in the Ozarks" an AA convention in Eureka Springs. A lot of riders show up. Last year there were 2400 people who attended. Lots of good rides around there. On my way home from Texas last year I rode Arkansas 23 "The Pig Trail" from Ft. Smith to Eureka.....quite a ride. The mountains south of Ft. Smith on US 71 are nice also.

If you pass through Missouri this year give me a holler and possibly Hurricane and I can meet you and ride.

Mo. State AA convention.....is in July in Jefferson City.

ExNavyInHouston · 12-31-2008, 10:19 AM

I have gotten to where I am not a huge fan of rallies or large crowded gatherings. I just like to get some friends together and plan out a few days of riding.

Now days there are so many people at these rallies that you end up in stop and go traffic.

Now, the smaller rallies I would be interested in just for the people watching.

When I first got back into riding after the Navy the rallies were fun. But in time I morphed my riding into more just 2 - 5 bikes riding the twisties and enjoying the rest stop and restaurant conversations.

Here is my Honda bobber project--cb750k

Roux, welcome, and I LOVE your avatar! Where are you in Michigan?

Dammit, I lost custody of the husband AND the bike...do you guys let four wheels come to your rallies?
