Well, if the 2006 MY was the best built and you would like one, you're in luck!! There is a bunch of them out there that were traded for the new 2014s.

 

Hey Steve, talking about parallel...my guess is that you also used to use newspaper between you and your pants and under your jacket to cut the wind. I know I did that for years. Used trash bags as "rain gear" too. I was perfectly happy just to be riding!

Dunno what's happened...guess I'm getting old.

It was weird these last 5 days...I really enjoyed the lady in the box telling me where to turn (and Mary enjoyed the ride more too, not having to be looking at a map while riding down the road), but at the same time I was realizing that if I had to run that route again I would not remember which turns to make...is this part of the dumbing down process...takes the thinking out of the equation?

Anyway, I enjoyed it, and yeah, I also enjoyed some tunes from the little MP3 I had hooked up in the dash. When I get on the bike to wander, discovering new roads, no GPS for me. When I got somewhere to get to, and not sure how to get there, I reckon I'll continue using it.

ROFLMAO

I've made too many changes to say no...but I sorta doubt that. lol

Next year Devin and I are planning on doing a couple of builds...at least one will be a carbed bike with as few wires as possible!

I'm not totally lost! Here's a vid from last summer when I was the low-tech ride in a sea of baggers.

 

Nor will I, once around that block was enough. I vote with my wallet, if I get a good product and good service I'll be back, bad product and **** poor service and I'm gone and won't be back. Keep on drinking the Kool Aid.

 

Having GPS and Bluetooth and what not on any vehicle is still a distraction while in motion.

 

Dunno about bluetooth...never used it.

The GPS can certainly be a distraction...my experience was that it was Less of a distraction than Mary reading a paper print-out and then telling me which way to turn.

 

Kevin, I give you alotta credit for rideing that Sporty all that way..

 

Hey Kraut,

The Sporty is a lot of fun. Just got back from a 100 mile ride on it...had to pick up a few things and I kept taking "wrong turns" on the country roads to extend the ride.

 

Your choice and I have no problem with it. I'll keep drinking the Kool Aid while you ride your Honda. You won't even be an after thought but I'll still wave at you if I see you out on the road.
Since you vote with your wallet, I can only assume you intend to keep your HanniganHonda. Try trading it in on a Harley, let me know how that works out for you.

 

Yes I'll be keeping my present trike, FWIW guys who are looking for triked Wings are finding they hold their value just fine. Another thought, don't forget there are dealers who sell Harley and other make bikes. I rented a Wing from a Harley/Honda dealer, they know the value of both and will take trades of both so it would work out just fine for me.

I think I've had about enough of this section of this forum, it isn't what it used to be when I started on the ground floor. As a parting thought, if you would ever get the ambition and skills to actually work on your ride instead of paying someone else to get their hands dirty, you will maybe see and understand how cheap things have truly been made.

 

Mike, Look around I thing everthing you buy has been cheapened and there prices are higher also bought any Levi's lately.
