    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Nasty,

another bike would be the win/win solution, except for that Canadian insurance

Ignore all these other posters. I took my wife on a ride on our 1st date. She proved to be an excellent passenger, so it becomes an nice intimate time for both of us to ride together.

I can ride where I want and as fast as I choose. She gazes about from the back seat and just goes with the flow. She knows to always hang on, as emergencies or passing may arise. She's tall enough to look over my shoulder, so there are few surprises. She did ride her own bike (GPz) for a few years, but motherhood put an end to that.

Another thought, go a buddy who will swap bikes with you for a day? At least you could get in a test ride to see what sort of passenger she is before committing to buying another bike. Or, maybe rent one for a day.
 
How about a picture of said girlfriend...then we decide which route to take?:D

2nd bike time..
Something big, smooth, comfy, with lots of storage for her stuff.

I have 2 bikes...
1) A Goldwing for L O N G rides and cruising 2 up...
2) A GS850 GL for ME time (I took off the passenger pegs too)


ps: Your bike looks great the way it is right now :cool:

We are on the same page! :)
We use our Valkyrie for long rides, cruising 2 up, etc.
I use my Suzukis to play (without a passenger nor passenger pegs). :D
 
yep, 2 bikes while you are still in "girlfriend" mode and before she gets a vote.

The bike will never deny you a "ride". It will never leave you or cheat on you. It is way less expensive to maintain. Most of the reasons I dont have nor NEED a girldfriend. Life is simple and quiet for me so why mess up a good thing.

Yeah but I bet it sure does get old talking to the sock puppet every night.:eek:
 
Better than listening to the endless, mindless dribble and lies that a woman tells.

Now then, If I could find one that was HONEST, TRUSTABLE, and not a total "C" then that would be a different story. But thats not likely to happen.
 
get a set of early gixxer rear peg mounts , weld on some tabs, and they double as an exhaust mount. I have a set for my road kill bike, just haven't installed them yet. { if I do the wife will want to ride it with me. And road kill is for me , the 1000G is "ours"
 
Hello Jack

Hello Jack

I was trying to show my 16-year-old nephew some pics of the new V-Max on the computer a few years ago, explaining about 190 horsepower, etc., but he seemed to be more interested in looking at pictures of women.

I explained to him that if he had a bike like that, the women would flock to him, but he wanted to cut out the middleman (the bike).

Fortunately, he's matured somewhat and is now interested in motorcycles.
