Title: New Bike Post by Daemon on 04/23/05 at 00:26:27 Well I decided to clean out my garage, and my Savage is going to a new home. Loved the bike for around town and short trips but decided it was time for something a bit more "wind-friendly" for longer freeway driving. I picked up a new 2005 M50 today and put the first few miles on it. So far, its unbelievable. If anyone's thinking of getting this bike it is a steal even at the MRSP of $6745... My next task is to part with my 77' Sporty :) |

Title: Re: New Bike Post by Greg_650 on 04/23/05 at 07:19:51 The M50 is an 800, right? |

Title: Re: New Bike Post by slavy on 04/23/05 at 11:14:07 Is this a Marauder or Volutia or Intruder? |

Title: Re: New Bike Post by Greg_650 on 04/23/05 at 11:17:59 They are Boulevards. |

Title: Re: New Bike Post by bobo383 on 04/23/05 at 12:41:36 Dang Washington State is a bit far to go for a 77 sporty. If you lived in the Confederate states, I'd make you an offer. Best wishers to you, and hang around the site - don't wandfer off. I have 5 bikes right now, and 5 cars: 98 Savage 650 98 Sportster 883 96 YZF600R 83 XR500R (ebay auction closes in 26 hours) 78 GS1000 If it has a motor or goes bang (pref. both) I love it. Current cars: 2004 Suburban & Impala 74 F100 65 LeSabre 64 Impala Keep in touch no matter what you are riding. |

Title: Re: New Bike Post by WD on 04/23/05 at 14:47:23 Depending on where he is in Wa, I could possibly hold it for you...pretty sure the dog wouldn't eat it if I put it in the backyard. ;D -WD Although, she did eat a beer can, a battery cable that she pulled off the John Deere, two dog houses, and a 55 gallon drum BBQ, with a blown glass Christmas tree ornament for dessert... I've got access to covered storage at my folks if you decide Tx to Wa isn't too far for you. |

Title: Re: New Bike Post by bobo383 on 04/23/05 at 19:02:25 Thank you,I'll start another message to ask what he'd take for the Sporty. Want to hear a bad story? I just bought a 2000 Honda VLX650 from two neighbors down for $750. Has not run in 3 years. The poor guy blew some discs in his back and is on total disability now. Poor guy, all he wanted was somebody to talk to. Nobody in the neighborhood would speak to him cause his grass was high and he had some cars in the drive that had not been moved in several months. What's the world coming to, nobody cares about anybody anymore. My granddaddy must be rolling in his grave (God rest his soul) right now. He hated everybody, no discrimination, but he would also talk with anyone no matter what. Even the most low-life he ever saw, he would say hello and listen to their story. What's the matter, don't we even care for our fellow man anymore! I'm 37 and I think my grand daddy will come out the grave and slay everybody that shunned the guy. Sorry, I got carried away. Realy upset form the man being so shunned. I'll go back to my greedy republican (and proud of it) self now... |

If you really want to move the Sportster, let me know. I have a real soft spot for old bikes, and it looks like I have a connection in WA (thank you WD). Never been to WA state before, I'd like to see it. |

Title: Re: New Bike Post by bobo383 on 04/23/05 at 20:57:09 Thanks. I just felt sorry for the old guy and got carried away I guess. 40 mg Prozac a day is still not enough :o What else can you do? Pot ain't legal. Sluggo can't be far from comment here..... |

Title: Re: New Bike Post by Oklahoma_Mike on 04/23/05 at 21:17:54 I here prozac and Viagra :P make an intersting combo. I wouldn't know of course ::). but that is what I hear. 8) |

Title: Re: New Bike Post by bobo383 on 04/23/05 at 21:45:50 Washington state is looking better by the minute. Here, you have to be a minority or illegal alien to go free on possession. Don't understand it - never crashed my car on weed, never got in a fight on weed. But beer is legal and weed ain't. |

Title: Re: New Bike Post by WD on 04/24/05 at 01:49:35 Bobo, make sure you hold that VLX for awhile...my neurosurgeons said I'd never ride agin. My primary care physician for the injury said wait 6 months post-op and give it a try. I waited MAYBE 4 days post- 1st op... ::). I'm closing in on a year post-2nd op without riding. You only think Wa sounds good because you don't live here... Sluggo, Max, and Allgirl live on the good side of the state, the side basically ignored by state government. On the west (wet) side where I live, it's an alright place to visit and a lousy place to live. ATF/ICE recently shut down the off rez (but still tribal land) smoke shops for not paying state cigarette taxes. Hello, sovereign territory. The psuedo-governor and her cronies just muscled through a 9 cent gas tax raise, that was supposed to take 5 years to phase in (more like 5 minutes in my area). Gods (yes, I'm pagan) forbid you smoke, drink soda or alcohol, have a motorcycle, or RV in this state, they all carry a "sin" tax. My tabs carry a public transportation surcharge...I live over a mile from the nearest bus route. My 98 Savage cost $26 a year to license down south, almost $100 where I currently live. Highest business taxes in the free world. The whole state pays for "improvements" for one city, and it's not even the capitol city. Worst public education in the nation. No jobs unless you like flipping burgers or mowing lawns (and they won't hire non-hispanics). Enough ranting. Let me know on storing the IronHead for you. -WD |

Title: Re: New Bike Post by bobo383 on 04/24/05 at 04:52:39 Thanks. Texas is the only place I've ever lived, and really whenever I leave here and come back, I kiss the ground in sweeeet Texas. Pacific Northwest is nice, though. |

Title: Re: New Bike Post by savagethumper on 04/24/05 at 11:23:26 Hey, Bobo, I have a set of pipes for the VLX 600. Actually their from a 2000 model. A friend put Cobra's on his, and cut the mufflers off the pipes to see what it would sound like with straight pipes. Their just the pipes and chrome, not the mufflers. You could play with them, without screwing up the originals. I know their fairly loud, but not ear shattering. Your welcome to them. |

Title: Re: New Bike Post by bobo383 on 04/24/05 at 13:35:06 Hey that's great, thanks! Looks like I will be visiting the Savagethumper! |

Title: Re: New Bike Post by Daemon on 04/24/05 at 19:36:31 For those who may be interested in my 77 H-D xlch, I have some things I'm going to fix on it before I'm closer to selling (including: rebuild carbs, master cylinder, and the kick coil). It will be a couple of months before I get around to it, but I'll post a note in the marketplace when its ready. After a couple days of riding the M50, here's my initial eval. Its nimble and very responsive (even though its 540pds dry weight). The suspension is great as is the fuel injection system that eliminates the petcock. No more watching the mileage for switching to reserve. There is no reserve, it handles it automatically. A lot of minor things that add up, like lighted LED display on the Speedo, two trip meters, clock, and odometer. Rides smooth and sounds great stock. I'll be around, this has been a great group. |
