It appears I can get a really nice midsized Japanese bike for a couple grand.

I've always been something of a natural on 2 wheels (thanks mom and dad) so experience is not a dealbreaker. Any thoughts? All appreciated.

What type, style, size, and make if a preference?

I was shopping another Harley when this VTX-1800 custom sport touring cruiser showed up F/S at the Corbin exhibit at the Honda Hoot in Knoxville 2005, paid cash and rode it home. Had to go back for the Gold Wing I left at the motel.


Corbin originally put it together earlier for Sturges 2005, here's a pic someone took of it there;

Sweet bike! Love the color.

If my kids didn't rely on me being alive I would absolutely have a bike.

Funny thing about malware...it usually gives you more malware warnings than malware protection software does, but that's the hook.
