Really good question, I know I hit and miss at times.

Same here. I need to cram in at least 4 hours of sleep or I get crabby and start buying more old bikes. :smilie_happy:
 
Hi guys, I'm still around :Egyptian: , just had lots to do. I sold my restored 79 GL1000 in the spring, got a GL500 for free for my winter project :builder: and drove my 1800 all summer :moped: . So now the snow is here :shock: , the 1800 is in hibernation :lazy: and the 500 is being restored :builder: .
 
I seasonally shifted my attention from my bikes to my cage, been a frequent poster on a Chevy Equinox forum, man I can say this, they sure are a stick in the mud mentality! I proposed key mods from lighting to even something to extend the engines longevity on the latest GM Direct Injection engines and they immediately go all archaic, afraid to "change" the vehicle lest the GM advisers on the board catch wind and come knocking on their doors at night with billy clubs.

Seriously living in Alaska has me limited on my bikes. Hardly any Craigslist ads for anything decent. Just accumulating cash when I'm not buying LEDs or HID kits for the Equinox. But I am addressing getting my mods done on the 95 Aspy. Maybe if I am lucky around late april the snows will melt off and I can get back on the road, had to put the brakes on my southern trip as I am now trying to build my own shop instead of just renting one, and it has to be big, at least 24x48 with a 12' ceiling, maybe at least 14' so I can bring an RV or truck in.

I have to admit the Goldwing forums are pretty nice, nobody gets all uptight if you chop half the bike, and a leafblower to the intake for a poor mans supercharger, ride on car tires or forklift tires, or to just be absolutely free to do whatever you feel like. And thats what its like at a cager forum, these latest SUVs are so high tech you cannot change anything or you void a warranty or get a nasty letter in the mail, they monitor your vehicle in ways you can only imagine.

Be very proud all of you that dismiss the sirens call of being a cager, I live partially in that world, my eye is actually on either getting a Cadillac SRX or a Corvette Stingray. Ironically that 2012 AWD 2.4 DI LT1 Equinox I bought a couple weeks ago was cheaper than buying a new Goldwing.

There was a Youtube video I think years ago of a guy who connected one to the intake manifold of his Toyota 4x4 like a redneck roots blower. Actually could work once you went to full throttle. Add a little nitrous.... :Egyptian:
 
hmmmmm well all we can do is the best we can and let all who want to judge do so .... I could care less about judges ... what a complete worthless position .... and I don't miss these people at all .... theres the thin skinned people who are offended all the time with political correctness ... first grade interpitation its simply sensorship and the total lack of free speech disguised as the offended ...don't miss these people either .....I know there are many who are so blasted down by our economy of day ... I really miss these people big time .....
