Hay Ray ,

There is a guy in our CMAUSA group that does have TRAINING WHEELS on his Gold Wing .
You would have to experience ridding in the group to fully understand how PAINFULL it is to Not "Just Run-off and Leave him" ... Embarrassed

He is really in the club just South of ours but we do a lot of Joint Stuff together. so he's not "Allways" on every ride.

I see and feel the Holy Spirit in the world , as does anybody who has eyes to see.

What a nice looking bike !
It just looks good sitting there and seems to have good parts. I have not looked up the details yet but plan to do so. And the price is very good, similar to the base models of Triumph. So many motorcycle manufacturers out there making good bikes for good prices, virtually all in the 600-900cc range.
Except for the Suzuki Savage.

COME ON SUZUKI !
DO SOMETHING with the LS650 !

Reply #54 - 02/28/19 at 17:29:51 (With all that black - the training wheels would likely just fade out of sight). You know these things lean over like most sports-bikes ? Its a long way before the foot pegs find the pavement ! I might be a 125cc street bike instead of extra wheels kind of guy if I ever get to feeling my years ?

My long term ride into my 80's plan includes a basket case theft recovery Savage - but that is nearly 20 years into the future and I don't know if we will even be allowed to own an internal combustion engine in 2040 and beyond. I plan on making it into a mid mount peg, bench seat copy of a 60's era British single with a place to mount soft luggage and a windshield for touring. I can't think of a better 360 pound motorcycle to ride into my old age.

While I am still healthy and reasonably fit - I am OK with a heavier/faster and more comfortable range of motorcycle options....but that won't last forever. I will keep my Savage Cafe' bike until I can't ride it anymore.....and I expect in the next 2-3 years there will be a more comfortable touring style Savage project bike in the garage.

The bike served more a purpose in my life than it did a "way of life" or hobby, like so many of you seem to enjoy.
I am putting that effort into my boats.
I loved the free feeling of riding my bike with no shield on a summer day, I almost felt I was flying over the pavement.....
I get that with boating too.....
And then putting in at my own spot, the solitude, the feeling of peace, the smell of water, then the crabs just put icing on the cake.

I just ordered a "pot puller"
No, it ain't for making joints, its for pulling my crab pots with a motor, instead of by hand.
I will use it to shrimp too, as those pots are 300 to 600 feet deep, not a task for old muscles.
If you have never had FRESH shrimp, minutes from the water, then you are clueless to just how wonderful it taste/eats....
I mean golly, shrimp that you buy is good, heck yeah, this is just like eating virgin meat Undecided

You guys do a PacNorWest shindig, we'll see if I can put you on some of my heaven Wink

PS: I just get to choose who I double up with Grin

Reply #57 - 03/01/19 at 09:35:33 Ray Doubling up and eating Virgin meat shouldn't be used together ? But I'm glad you enjoy doing all that stuff on a boat . I've had a couple of fresh-water boats . They were all under 50 Hp things. Two of them were fishing boats and one was a small ski boat. They're all FUN !
