Tammy demonstrating her unsynchronized skills

Tammy needs a lamp shade on those toes. Then she could be in a movie. -

Thanks Cogs. It will be great to reunite the swell brothers. I'm hoping to drag a couple more viffers along. The arm twisting has begun.

I cannot find the name of the accommodations. Any help?

A beautiful machine and a fabulous picture. You obvioulsy have great taste in mc's. -
This thought triggered another idea. Every one of my fifth gens (5) has needed steering head bearings. When loose or worn out (Honda used cheaper ball bearings) it some times mimics a cupped front tire, i.e. vibration. My first fifth was originally diagnosed by the dealer's service tech with cupped tires; when I replaced them the problem was still there. That's when he showed me how to check that. While on the center stand he had me press down on the pillion seat to raise the front wheel into the air. He then slowly turned the front back and forth. He said there is a "notch" in the center of the movement that I could also feel. The solution was installing All Balls tapered rolling bearings. Issue cured. Five times. One bike exhibited the problem at 28,000 miles (such a youngster!). On my first it happened near 80,000 miles. Once again, good luck t.i.n.s.

No on the non-oem grips. Two of my fifth gens came with some aftermarket grips, two layers with red underneath and black with cut-out so the red showed through. I sold the first machine with them. Then a subsequent fifth had the same grips that were very worn out. Since my first fifth gen's oem grips were still unworn at 105,000 miles when a deer KIA'd it I've stuck with oem since. No complaints with them, luckly. Hope you can find something that works. Numb hands are a pain in the.... wrist.

Back in the old days of 1969 I bought a set of grips that had lateral sections of gell making the grips semi-squishie. I've not seen anything like them but then I have not been looking. Have you determined that you have no wrist issues like carpal tunnel syndrome? I had CTS and the same symptoms. The numbness was no longer an issue after surgery which I understand is much easier since I had mine done eight years ago. Good luck.

(Being infamous for my memory) I believe I have bought OEM paint (code R-157 for 2001 VFR 2 oz.) from PaintScratch dot com. Incline Village, NV 89451 (775) 831-9493. At the same time I bought primer and clear coat that had their name on the bottles. (Being a champion procrastinator I've yet to use them.) Good luck.

Such a beautiful machine. And in such great condition and such low mileage. You obviously have great taste in motorcycles. -
Welcome to the asylum. We will need pics of your ride(s) to prove you are not a figment of our imagination.
-
Nice looking unique color combination. You obviously have great taste in mc's. -
I sure hope you can make it MotorMike. You are a fabulous wingman. The HD rental is a joke but I''m not sure I'm capable of riding one of those big beasts.

+1 Nice pipes. -
Thanks Belfry. Those are funny. The guy in the fur looks like he just rode through a herd of 'um. I wonder if Bambi's mom propositioned him. I like the one with the Gatling guns mounted.

Rats. I mean, Hooved Forest Rats! Oh Deer! I'll guess I'll just have to keep looking for cow deer catcher elsewhere. Hey! Let's get Mikey! (J/K MotorMike)

Great idea Lee! Do you have the one from UTMC? That is one of my faves. We could advertise that we are long-lost twins separated at birth. Or would that be too obvious? I can hardly wait to chase you through the hills pal.

Fabulously beautiful. And the scenery and bike are nice also. Ride safe young lady. -
MH is an inside joke/surprise.

Hard to beat. That's where my current ride came from. -

I'm just glad there will be another ride with you Fabulous Folks. I was coerced to wingman my HD riding buddy to Sturgis this past August. It was okay through Custer State Park but the speed limit is low and roads were very crowded. Colorado would have been my choice but being too late to vote I'm with the crowd. It is closer so that will be great. At 600 miles from Minneapolis it would be a two-day trip for me unless MotorMike is dragging me at a young man's pace. I will still be waiting for this ride With Wild Anticipation. I'll be bringing Mister Happy with me this time. Y'all have been warned.

This is my screensaver, and one of my favorite photos of all time.

I don't blame you. That's a fabulous pair of fives.
