If its metal, it WILL set off detectors!

Maybe...that's a 430lb bike! But it doesn't look THAT bad, honestly...

About $20 for the first hour, usually.

Many states do not title vehicles that old...some do not title MC's, period.

They will last you 10 years if maintained!

I really like the B 400. One of my neighbors here in the RV park has one and thinks it is too heavy, likes my Reflex. I could probably trade straight across, they are both 07s but I would have to build a completely new rack on the back of the motor home. According to the specs the B is 114 lbs. heavier plus larger. Would take a larger stronger rack mounted differently. I'll just stay with the Reflex. How close are you to New Hampshire & would your neighbor like a Qlink Helix?  |

I have no idea what you mean about head tax, and I don't drink... but I have to say, when I drop 450 bucks on snow tires last week it was nice to not pay sales tax!

No income tax here...and no sales tax. But boy, do we get winter!  8" of snow yesterday. |

Forget whoever bought the rights to slap "Caterpillar" on their boots...for good boots, look no further than Red Wing! Top quality, fully resoleable...and many are still US-made! I wear these--note lack of laces!  |

While admittedly the 'sharp edge' of a curb or pothole is not the same as 'rough' off road terrain, have you SEEN some of the jumps (and landings) those competitive mountain-bikers do? (and yes, I understand that most modern MB's do have suspensions now...but that wasn't always the case, and they are typically carrying twice the load I intend too) The thought of a suspension has crossed my mind though. It would add complexity, cost, and weight, and I think I can figure something out but it may just be simpler, lighter, and less expensive to carry a spare wheel. Suspension would be simple enough: a simple leaf spring setup from an old boat or jet-ski trailer, maybe? If you're a welder/fabricator, here's an idea: grab an AXLE from someone junking a small trailer, narrow it to fit, and simply use little 4.00-8, 4.00-10, or 4.80-12 trailer tires. |
