Sweet, I've been thinking about getting one just like that. Feels good huh?

Bad-ass! And of course I'm assuming you filled out the proper paperwork, completed any required training, and gotten your motorcycle license.
We wouldn't want you to hurt yourself on that thing.

It's an 800 Vulcan, one of the smaller ones, with a "softail" frame setup, no fuel injection, no computer engine controls.
2005 with 7182 miles on it.
Paid $2100
Got a little damage on the starboard side where the kid who had it laid it down, a scrape on the tank, lower pipe, and turn signal.
If the mood hits me, it may transform over the winter into this:
Or this:
Oh of course, all legal...and a full helmet. (not)

Sweet, man. Congratulations!
''Full moon is rising
The sky is black
I heed your call I'm coming back
The road is straight cast
Wind's in my eyes
The engine roars between my thighs
From desert plains I bring you love
From desert plains I bring you love
Wild mountain thunder
Echoes my quest
My body aches but I'll not rest
Quartz light to guide me
Till sunrise leads
My passion screams, my heart it bleeds
From desert plains I bring you love
From desert plains I bring you love
Then in the distance
I see you stand
On the horizon you raise your hand
In burning rubber
I end my quest
You fall into my arms and rest
From desert plains I bring you love''
how does Donna like the back of that thing?

Nice. Enjoy yourself but not so much you get killed.

It was perfectly safe. My mom was supervising and besides, the label said to "use caution when mixing with alcohol". I was very cautious. I didn't operate any heavy machinery.Sez the Animal dropping Lortabs and wine.
Well, that's no damn fun.It was perfectly safe. My mom was supervising and besides, the label said to "use caution when mixing with alcohol". I was very cautious. I didn't operate any heavy machinery.
I once spent a day at a buddy's farm, years ago, thrashing around on a bulldozer after dropping mescalin.
I let other people buy the boats.

...that you don't have to worry about seatbelt tickets.

I don't have to worry about those anyway.
Or helmet tickets.
Cool
Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

I thought this was the Arlo song?Cool
I gotta tell you Pete, it was missing a chance to bid on this: (I honestly didn't know you still owned it)Cool
that prompted me to say $#@! it all, not letting another chance slip by.
So, in a way, I can thank you for getting me back on two wheels again.
Trust me on that one.

I looked it up, but your link doesn't load. She would be a nice addition to your bike.

Cool! What's a Vulcan?
After my own 25+ year dry spell, I got one of these:
The picture isn't mine. My bike is blue (same year, a 2001), and has had the fairing removed. With a tuned exhaust, bigger carb, and 20 more cc's, it'll do 50+ mph. Tomos Targa LX. Best past of all: no license whatsoever, no tags, no insurance, no registration, no plates, no nothing! Completely unregulated!
After riding it around for months, I finally had my first run-in with the cops yesterday. I sped up to beat a changing light at one of two lights I found that the bike isn't heavy or big enough to trigger the sensors. Pulled into a parking lot on the other side of the intersection to stop and check the time (needed to see which store I could make before they both closed). Cop pulls in and blocks me in the parking space, jumps out of his car, and says "where's your tag? you gotta have a tag to ride that!".
Me: "No I don't. It's 50 cc's, can be pedaled like a bicycle, and has an automatic transmission, so state law says I don't need one".
cop: "I saw you speed up to run that red light, you were going like a bat out of hell (which brought the album cover immediately to mind, as I tried not to laugh)! You don't have a tag for that thing, and you can't ride it without one!"
Me: "I researched the law very carefully, and it says I don't need one".
cop: "What law is that?"
Me: "It's part of the motor vehicle code. It's exempt and falls outside of any regulation because it meets those 3 requirements, state law says the only place I can't ride it is on the interstate."
cop: "Well, there's a city ordinance that says all motor vehicles have to have a tag, even scooters."
Me: "This isn't a scooter, because it has pedals. Any city ordinance that may exist doesn't overturn state law. What exactly would you like me to do, officer?"
cop: "I have to get to another call. You have a good day, and you better get a tag for that thing."
With that, he jumped back in his car and left. I gotta print out a copy of the actual law in case that happens again.
I have an autographed copy of Revolution: A Manifesto for sale. Mint condition, inquire within. (I don't sign in often, so please allow plenty of time for a response)
