    Good-bye to Some Pretty Damn Fine Men

    Gentlemen, Sorry to be away so long but, have been on pressing business and the mental anguish about a certain fighter I know. She lives and is cancer free now so, I'm cocky again and full of piss and vinegar. This bike is something special to you guys and I see it. Never got...

    Radiator Fan

    This may have been covered here before but, is it normal for the radiator fan to constantly kick in and out when going at slow, stop and go speeds? It's still warm up here in N. Fl., but, I'm just tooling a parking lot at night with the bike so, it's not like riding during the hot part of a day...

    I Love you Guys

    Thankyou for your support here about this machine. Just got back from a parking lot fooling around with her. It's earlier than usual. I liken her to a "gym fighter, " She's sorry on the bags, she's fat and soft. Somehow, you know she can win fights. I honestly now, think I used my head in the...

    Not Feeling This Bike (Yet)

    Cannot get out on the road yet with this bike because of finances so, just puttering around the neighborhood. Trying to get a feel for it. What's all the excitement about? It is "vibey", acres of plastic (my 1975 BMW never had it), and it is a noisey thing when that radiator fan kicks in. I'm a...

    Low Profile Bar End Mirrors

    Would a pair of low profile bar end mirrors work well with our bike? Really don't care for the looks of the stock ones.

    Bike is Here, But, Having Trouble Financing It

    Hello, My bike is due for pickup on the August 27th, but, have to get the financing worked out beforehand. After checking with my credit union and a couple of banks, I'm finding that you have to have a considerable down payment. Running out of time. Is that Yamaha card offer still a good...

    Cal Sci Shorty Windscreen

    Anyone planning to go with that short dark screen windshield that Cal Sci sells? Pics of it look nice on the Tenere but, wonder just how much function it would offer at highway speed especially for a six footer riding with a dual sport helmet.

    You Guys Sure Are Conservative

    And, I thank you all for it. I mean it. I lost my Dad when I was at my best as a fighter. He was conservative too( although, he sure did love to watch me fight) The jest I get from this site sometimes, is that of my Dad's way of thinking. I know, some of you, maybe all of you think this is a...

    Ode to Twitch

    When Twitch referred to some places here in Florida that mean something to a few of us, you can't help but say thankyou Jesus,(and you too Twitch) for the life and honor that you give. I hate the heat. I love hearing about the parts where Limey and rem live. Once upon a time, spent a lot of time...

    Get Off the Site or Stay

    You guys pissed me off when i opened that post about riding without a helmet. Totally misconstrued. I'm in a dark alley trying to decide between the DR650 or this bike as my transportation. Went to other sites looking for answers. It was either small town shit or downright man haters. Still...

    Riding Without a Helmet

    Don't know about where you guys live, but, here in Tallahassee, I see more guys riding without helmets than do. Most of the Harley riders that do ride with helmets seem to pick those half shaped things. Seems to be more show than substance. Anyway, this is probably a stupid question but, if you...

    This is a site public apology. I have promised Chris(Venture), money for support toward this bike's site. I have not delivered on that promise yet Chris, still places me as a site supporter. This to me, speaks volume in character toward this man. Thankyou Chris, but, I would feel better if you...

    Hello from Florida

    Just put my check in the mail to D&H Cycle for ordering a blue ST. I know, I waited until the last minute to order but, had no choice. It's hard to come up with a $1000.00, these days. Anyway, this will be my first motorcycle in over 36 years. My last was a 1975 BMW900, which was the premier...
