Heading to the National Packard Museum Friday- hear they have a pretty good M/C display on until the end of May. Will let you all know what I think

I still check teh sight at least once a week – I don’t normally cmooent as I don’t realyy hae much to say. I picked-up an 84 VT500 Ascot in the fall 09 and was able to get a flat track bike bilder to bring it back to life. road it most of last summer getting the bugs worked out of it. Its getting new paint for 11 and possibbly a custom seat to fit the flat track look better. I will be out there, come on spring!!!

Hey, anyone have any input on a 92 Suzuki Intruder 800 – My boy decided now, Oct., wast he time to get a bike. I know little about these Suzuki’s.

Hello my name is Todd, I’m new to the site, I live in Hickory North Carolina. I own a 1984 Honda V65 Magna VF1100C, that I bought last winter, Ive done a little work on it but need to do some more on it this winter my main goal was to have it on the road and able to ride it this summer.

I have an AJS r12 250cc 1930 motorcycle. that needs TLc. Would anyone have any idea as to how i could expect to get for this bike?
If anyone has any interesting comments to make then i would greatfull. This belonged to my father in law and has been in his posession since 1934, and wel loved by him, now it is time for this bike to have someone that would care for it as he did.

I’m ashamed to say that I’ve hardly been paying any attention to this site htis year…nor have I been doing any riding at all.  I just saw all the spam that got posted here, so that motivated me to make a post.

Yeah – both bikes have sat pretty much idle this year.  I did a little work on the CL200 as far as cleaning up the taillight and polishing some aluminum…but other than that it’s been too hot out there when I’m too tired.

I’ll try to get some life back in this site next week.

I brought the Honda home yesterday after storing it at my office all Winter.  It took a crap momentarily just before turning onto Mentor Avenue, but it was just a bad connection with the fuse underneath the seat.

After a 34 mile ride home, the battery finally charged but the turn signals seem to have given up blinking over the Winter and now just go on solid.  Anyone know what may be wrong?

So, one bike is home.  The Kawasaki needs to be jump started (dead battery) and then I’ll figure out what’s up with the carbs.  It will only idle with the choke on…even after a few loops around the block.

Did anyone get any riding in today?  I took the CL200 out for a couple miles but didn’t have my helmut with me, so I didn’t stray too far.

Well, I keep the bikes at my office during the winter now, and since I had a day when I didn’t have to rush off to pick up the kids from daycare, I thought I’d get the bikes started.

I’ve been meaning to put Sta-bil in the tanks since October…oops.  I’ve been meaning to start them both since October….oops.  The 2008 Kawasaki will not run at all without the chok in half position (unless the throttle is applied) and the battery won’t charge at all.  I figure I’ll check the water levels this week and probably pull the floats off to see if the idle jets are gummed up.

The CL200 was a pleasant surprise.  The battery was dead…no surprise there.  I reattached the fuel lines, kicked it about ten times and it was running beautifully.  There’s something to be said for a 36 year old bike that’s less finicky than a two year old bike.

Anyway, I rode around a little in the industrial park and called it a day.
