So Mrs. Duffer landed her dream job. And as the major bread winner(hell just about the only) of the family she get's to call the shots. I will admit she consulted with me heavily during the process. My input was taken into full consideration. But what kind of arsehole would I be to deny her...
At the ripe young age of 76 my sweet little Italian mother took her first ride on a motorcycle today. I think you relented because it was also my 45th birthday. She's been hinting about doing things that she has put off before. Since Dad is now in the late stages of dimentia, she is more open...
So I just picked up my 12 year old daughter from the Spring dance. This is one of the 3 or 4 functions of this type that the middle school puts on during the school year. My kiddo is still more interested in running around with her girl pals and jumping around screaming and enjoying the social...
Compared to this forum the SV Portal and SV Forum are kinda bland. Yeah you can get all the mod advice, like you can here, but I think those guys are a little off. Man who would want to own a friggin V-twin anyway. Oops! Guess I shouldn't be callin the kettle black. Still like the SV, but...
Norm you asked for a riding impression of the SV. It's like sitting on a nicely paded bench, while someone pounds on the underside with a rubber mallet. This thing is not the refined beasty that my FZ was. That's why I LIKE IT! I've only had one day to ride and put on about 100 miles running...
Well the old saying "It's easier to beg for forgiveness than to ask permission", is going to be put to the test Friday evening. If you all read of a man being castrated by his wife in the Midwest, you'll know that Mrs. Duffer didn't take my disobediance well. She forbade me, in quite clear...
Help! I can't stop myself. My desire to own all the firearms I couldn't have or afford as a naive youngster is cutting into my mod budget. The purchases I've made in the last month would have more than finished the suspension and comfort mods that are on my to do list. I tell myself after a...
1) Do you need a bunch of new friends and all the normal socialy acceptable pathways just aren't working for you?
2) Do you think you look great in black leather? ie: vests with concho's and fringe and assless leather pants(chaps, the most useless of all biker apparel)
3) Do you enjoy being in...
Ok this may be a stupid question, but. Are there any bar end mirrors on the market for the GenII that just screw into the threads on the stock bars. I've thought about getting the kind that clamp to the existing bar ends, but I understand that requires machining the ends to give a flat surface...
I know that selling an FZ now is not exactly easy, economy, demand, niche bike etc. But my knee is gone, so the bike must go too. One surgery ago I convinced myself I could still ride. Now with another on the way and the knee no longer reliable, riding is out for the forseable future. Enough...
Hate to do this but need the cash. 13500 miles.

Alright I'm going to give this a whirl here. My wife wants to go along riding again after 18yrs, problem is the preteen kiddo has been riding with me since she was old enough to reach the pegs. Being an accountant and not one to, as she calls it, squander money on a second bike, she wants me...
