Hey Phil, Just letting you know that ad #20090425 under bikes for sale has been sold. It is a 2006 Kawasaki Nomad. The reason I know this is because I bought it! I don't know why Bill Bennet didn't let you know it was sold, but it has been. I thought you might want to update the page. By the way, that is the 2nd bike I bought off your classified section in the past year. Thanks for all your good work, Paul Caswell

Phil;
Great article on the Suzuki GT750! Did you notice on the last page about the collectability of especially the J model in "candy lavender"? Hummm....seems I know someone who has one of those babies! To me, its got the most beautiful lines of any motorcycle I've ever seen, and its the definition of what a motorcycle SHOULD look like in my eyes. Even after 37 years, its almost a religious experience to really wind one of these early Suzuki 750 two stroke 3s' out from a standstill. Even if your pleasure is modern sport bikes, you've got to at least agree that theres nothing else like that sound that you just don't hear on American streets anymore.

Last Page PC gets a new windscreen from Clearview
Just wondering why you didn't get the vent option with your windshield. That is the main reason I went to Clearview for mine. I have a 2008 HD ROAD GLIDE and that was the first thing I ordered after market. I have been really impressed with it. Took me a while to get it though. I ordered it around the 1st of October and finally got it right after the first of the year. When I called to check on it as the web site said 4 to 6 weeks for delivery the man who answered the phone told me they were really back logged. He said they custom make each one and they have a steady pace an routine. They wouldn't compromise their schedule as it would have a impact on the quality. I was impressed with that statement. He asked if I wanted to cancel the order but I opted not to and am glad I waited. I used their measurement chart and got mine 3" taller and it is perfect. NO head buffeting at all.

I already have a vent in the windshield.... if you look close the grill in the front is a vent.

Tuesday, January 27, 2009 I wanted to be one of the first ones to thank you guys for pulling together and making it possible to get Sizuki's attention ...they have finally issued a recall for the 05-06 frames...not what i thought ( a newly designed frame replacement) , but a frame brace glued with epoxy and bolted on to the existing frame.. I have owned several Suzuki's so far, but this may be my last.. thanks again.

Phil and crew,

On behalf of the Southern Virginia Sons of God M/C, I wish to thank you great folks for a great start to a new year. Yes it was cold, way cold, Antartica cold...but that was quickly overcome by good food, good fellowship and plenty of good hot coffee. I hope this tradition continues as it has for the past 5 years. It was also great to see that we were not the only lunatics out riding the Tundra! Thanks again and I hope that 2009 is a great year for the Bikers' eNews and Motorcycle Mania. See y'all out there.

Hey Phil,
Steve and I met up at the Farmers' Market in Va Beach at about 0850.....it was a bit chilly.....27*. We talked and wondered when and if Mike or anybody else would show up to ride to Frank's. In all honesty, we decided it was too brisk to make the trip to Frank's. So at 0904 we presented each other with the pictured trophy and departed, on pre-arranged schedule, at 0905..........in different directions.......HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad there was a good turnout at Frank's......hope to hear the stories on Sunday.

Until again, and on a warmer day, RIDE ON.......8-})> BWANADON

Phil/Mike/All, it was great breaking in the New Year with a good group or riders at Franks Truck Stop. Exactly what the doctor ordered, first ride of the year and a low key social event.

Hey Phil, did you make it out to Franks Truckstop today? Bawanadon and I went to the Farmers market to meet up with Mike but he never showed...I cant fault him for that seeing last night being New Year's eve he was probably suffering alcohol withdrawal symptoms:) ....I went to the market but that was as far as I was going anyhow...when I left my house the temp was 27 degrees...it's only about 5 miles to the market but by about half way there my eyeballs froze solid and I could only look straight ahead...Doug Mcliverty called me and said when he looked outside his thermometer said it was 22 degrees at his house and his bird bath was frozen solid with a bird stuck in the ice..he exercised great judgement and said anybody out on a bike was nuts..me and Bawanadon were nuts..were you nuts too?:)

Phil, I was going to come ride with you on Jan 1, but it was 29 degrees on my back porch at 9:30am. Given the choice between spending some time with my wife, and riding in sub-freezing temps, guess what I chose? Hope you had a great turn out and a good ride.
