My avatar is actually a picture of my wife, Erikka, on her CX500.    She is the one that wanted to get a bike and we fell into this bike as a stroke of luck.   We have both been riding it and our original plan was to ride this for awhile, get another, bigger, bike and then eventually trade this up for a nice big bike for me and unload this one.    Everyday it gets harder and harder to imagine getting rid of this one.........

I'm here!  We just bought a trailer and it just so happens it has Honda stickers on it.  Just need to take all the racing stickers off the back of it and clean out the inside.  He said his son and him used to ride but his son took of to Denver and all his son does is smoke pot and go snowboarding.  He was mad at his son and put the trailer up for sale.  I told my husband get some cash and get there before they make up!!!  Stole this trailer for $1,500.  My husband is going to look for a Goldwing tomorrow to haul in it!   I've been in the turbo part of the forum for the last two days.  I simply have to have one.  500 or 650, don't care, I'm getting one someday.

We already have a travel trailer but we only have one truck so I may have to rough it and throw a mattress in this.

On the earlier posts, I am also going to get myself a trailer but I'm aiming for one 18-21' long, I have two old trailers, one is a 21' tongue hitch travel trailer, its just for storage now, the other is a 27' Winnebago 5th wheeler but it needs a lot of work, I want to build a bike shop in the rear with a ramp, it would work though. My truck is a 2002 Silverado Dually so it can most definitely haul it. 1980 CX 500 Deluxe with Vetter Vindicator Electric Fan conversion LED lamp conversion Bridgestone Spitfires New Ricks Motorsports stator H4 HID headlamp 2009 Yamaha V-Star 1300 Tourer New stuff being added every day.    Report

Hey guys, I'm a woman who enjoys this forum...just haven't been around a while...with all the cold weather going on bike forums just kind of makes me depressed about not being able to ride.  Come on spring!  On a side note, I plan on doing a semi-major teardown this spring/summer on the cx.  There are some things to do to it I've been putting off for too long so once the weather warms up it's time to tackle them.  At least I have the suzuki to ride while the CX is down. 1979 CX500 Custom 1999 Suzuki Intruder 800    Report

She might still be around - I know I have been absent for a bit. That would be me! It got rainy around here so I haven't been able to do much with my bike the last couple months except take it out on the occasional weekend. We get terrible fog around here this time of year so I don't ride it to work as much yet - hopefully next month that'll clear up and I can start giving it the lovin' it deserves. :) It's amazing what a few miles' experience will do - I also got a GL650 seat which doesn't hurt my inner legs as much as the squared GL500 seat did and seems lower. Balancing issues no longer seem what they once were. :) Still have that other bike (the CX) although it's currently in the possession of the boytoy. At the moment it's his only ride, despite not being tagged (we'd would need over $400 to get it registered because of backtags, any ideas how to get around that?!). The women are still here! Some of us just went into hibernation for the winter. ;) Worry not, I'll definitely be back in force asking questions once we get more than 2 consecutive days of good weather!
