    T27 bolts

    For future reference, I ordered some Torx screws through McMaster a couple of years ago to replace some of the ones for the chin fairing. Not identical to OEM, but close and they worked well. https://www.mcmaster.com/90910A537

    Helmets

    I had been away from motorcycles for a couple of decades when I decided it was time to start riding again about 7 or 8 years ago. I came across a 1983 Honda VF750F Interceptor not too far from me and had always loved the look of those back in the day. I had no riding gear at the time and...

    So I found an XB12Ss, and here she is

    Congrats on finding Betty! I agree with not being a fan of the murdered out look...but it does suit the Lightning well. I just sold my Ss...loved it! The '09 in particular was a great model year for the Ss..and it seems to hold its value pretty well. Enjoy! :up:

    MotoGP today!

    What year was that, jl551c? I also saw Nicky at Laguna Seca...it was 2013 when he was racing for Ducati with Dovizioso. Both Nicky and Dovi signed a Vanson hat that i had with me...hanging in my garage now. Definitely a big loss.

    Buellizms

    I've actually had the rare occasion where I didn't have to roll the bike to check the pressures...always thought that should be a sign that I should play the lottery that day! :eagerness:

    Iom tt 2019

    I'm doing a Homestay. There are lots of folks who rent out rooms during the races...much like AirBnB. There is a website specifically for finding a homestay. Pretty reasonable rates and so far the communication has been good. I'll give you more details after my trip...

    New ADV in the Garage

    Thanks guys! It's been cold and rainy here lately, so I haven't had much chance to put miles on the V-Strom. Took it out for a short ride today...love it so far! Very comfortable, very smooth and responsive engine. Should be fun for most any kind of riding...twisties, long distance touring...

    Selling my baby...

    Well...I just sold my XB12Ss cross country and it was my first time doing that kind of transaction. Like John said...this is probably can of worms topic, but I'll relate my experience as a seller. I posted the bike for sale on the forum and John kindly gave me and my bike a glowing...

    New ADV in the Garage

    Hi all, It's been a while since I've written...been busy with work but also gearing up for the riding season. I sold the 2009 XB12Ss to a forum member. I'll let him introduce himself if he likes. But, I will say we live on opposite sides of the country and he did a great job of making the...

    I hear ya, Outlaw! So many tempting bikes out there all over the country...so little funds or space to put them all in the garage!

    2009 XB12Ss Lightning Long - $4900

    Thanks for the kind words, John! I'm certainly hoping the bike goes to a new owner who will pamper it as much as I have...amazing machine!

    2009 XB12Ss Lightning Long - $4900

    Excellent condition. I have owned this bike for 4 years and am only selling it because I'm making room in the garage for a new ADV bike. I'm posting this on Craigslist soon, but wanted to give the folks on the forum first shot at it. This bike is well worth the money. Not in a hurry to sell...

    Iom tt 2019

    I'll be there, Onida. Actually, I'll be there for qualifying week not for the actual race week. But, they do qualifying every evening...should still be lots of good action to watch. Not renting a bike. That would be awesome! Enjoy!

    Cool watch- Isle of Man TT "the space between"

    :D If I had that kind of money, John...I'd totally spring for all of you to come along! I'm lucky that my work is taking me close enough there this June that I couldn't pass up the opportunity to take a detour and at least see the qualifying rounds at IOM. Nice thing about that is I should...

    Childhood bike pics

    Thanks, guys! I was 7 in that pic which means I'll be turning 50 this year...same age as the first moon landing! Good times. I'm glad I grew up in a time when phones had cords, TV had 4 channels, and summers seemed to go on forever. :D And, here is a website that shows some better pics of...

    Childhood bike pics

    Hi all, I just came across this pic of me from 1976. Man did I love that bike...my parents gave it to me shortly after I learned to ride. Clearly I knew I wanted to ride motorcycles someday! My dad (who is no longer with us) promised me he'd get if for me when I learned to ride. I still...

    Thanks for sharing! :up: I look forward to watching it! I'm going to be at the IOM for the qualifying week of the TT this May. Very excited to get to be there in person! :D
