I would probably put more time into building my Blazer. The problem is as soon as it gets nice enough outside to work on it, I get on the bike instead. :laughing:

Being a 6 ft 200 lb man I think my V-star is a great bike. I bought it last summer for my starter bike and I still love it. I have put almost 4000 miles on it in less than a year. At first I was kinda of intimidated by it, but after a riding couse and putting around on some country roads near my ...

I just started riding at the beginning of the summer and bought a V-Star 650 custom and I have to say that I love it. It is great for cruising around town. I will say that now that I have a few months under my belt I do wish it had more power on the highways, but overall I am satisfied. It looks ...

The first time I rode was on a dirt bike when I was about 10. It was a '87 Kawasaki KDX 80 that my Dad bought for 50 bucks from his friend at work. I remember how proud I was of that bike and I had a grin from ear to ear when we went to pick it up. Dad had told me that it would need some work before ...

Here is a link from craigslist, the second line down states that you should not use any money wiring service.

A western Union money order is not a secured transaction, once that person receives the money it's gone. Also if the company is acting as a 3rd party in the U.S. why aren't they taking the money? I am not saying for sure that it's a scam but it sure seems like one. just my 2 cents.

Don't do it, it's a scam you will never see the bike and your money will be gone. There are warnings on ebay and craigslist about these types of scams

I am new to riding myself and just bought a new v star 650 custom. I only have a few hundred miles on it but so far I love it. I have mostly been on back roads and a few smaller highways in the country so I have not had it above 65 mph. At 65 it seems to do fine but I can see where others say it ...

That bike is really pretty, I would love to go riding with you sometime. I guess from the post you put in my newbie thread you live kinda close. And in answer to your question yes, I will be taking the MSF course at 40 and Noland, hopefully in the next month or so. Hope to see you around town. :D

There are a few Bluetooth adapters for the iPod, but the few that I have seen are rather bulky. When I worked at RadioShack we sold a few types so you might start looking there.
