Here's some pics of my 2000 Road King.........
Sold my last 2-wheel rider (Kawasaki Vulcan) 17 years ago- and now to offend people- I never was much a fan of the excessive HD vibrating- even once they went "Evolution" in '84. Have the 2001-up TC88's made anything any smoother? (I also didn't much like the concept of a rubber band turning the rear wheel).
lol......well, yep, when I get to a stop sign the engine's hopping around but they've isolated the motor from the frame pretty good, once you get on the gas it's smooth as silk.....as far as the "rubber band" they're less mess because they don't need lubrication and just as strong as a chain when set up properly....mine's pretty reliable, she has 125,000 k's on herQuote:

Geez... not sure if I should post my pic with these sweet rides that you fella's have :icon_redface:, but seeing as you asked, here's my relic - 1981 Yamaha RH 920 with 29,000 original miles (sorry for the crappy i-phone pic):

Those are some good looking machines guys....the batwing on the Honda looks real good.
Sholo....those Yamaha's were iconic, that engine went on to power the Virago and the newer Vstar, don't feel bad. Like they say 'knees in the breeze is the best disease"
Love your bike..........I had an 83 Virago that was pretty much the same bike as yours. I know those bikes inside and out. Hows your starter holding out?Quote:

And remember-Harleys don't leak, they're just marking their territory.
I had a scooter when I was a kid :icon_redface:
I have a hard time controlling my driving habits so I don't drive a motorcycle. The only way I found to keep the speed down is to drive a truck so I bought a suburban and for some weird reason the rear tires don't last as long as the front ones... ;-) When I take the wife Passat with the niiiiiice turbo engine, I always end up driving too fast.
Maybe you just need to install an RVA on yer gas pedal! :biggrin-new:Quote:

After I retired from my corporate position, I worked for a local H-D dealer in the parts dept. Best semi-retirement job one could ask for. Only a couple of more months till we're in the wind.
Acky
This is my ride, anyone know what it is??? This goes off-road only.

Well, your user name kinda gives it away...cool machine!!! Go anywhere capability. What year is it?
Yeah, I guess it did. It's a '69, bought it in '99, it had zero time on it having sat in a dealership for 30 yrs. that was mothballed. I have another '69 running plus some basket cases. How familiar are you with Rokons?
Not familiar at all...just by reputation, website and YouTube videos. Not many around...very much of a niche market at a premium price. No doubt many would balk at the price of a new machine, not realizing or appreciating their durability and usefulness in extreme conditions.
Well, it's made in Canada, has front and rear disc brakes, alloy frame and 24 speeds. It's a Rocky Mountain Bicycles Metropolis YVR 2011.
