Welcome to the Worldwide V8 Bikers Forum

$42.99....whaddya mean? That's absurd! I'm not going to pay that much! I remember it was $42.59 last year, what a rip! I think I'll stay home! (.)< Really amazing when I heard people were carping about the rate at the Buffalo Run. Any other bike venue I've been to the rates were a lot stiffer than ...

Hi Buck, Do you mean Tropic Sun or Tropic Shores when you say "TS"? Chris, Tom, and myself will be north at the Tropic Sun. Glad to hear you'll have more time than normal this trip. Almost always have to count on a few days being weather days in the spring or fall while there. Yes, having ...

So... guess who`s gonna be there.... :mrgreen: I am excited to make this one! Tom, The brotherhood welcomes you to Daytona 8-) . Laughlin is like a little poker run in comparison. Almost all the V8 guys on the forums hang in Daytona. Some great vendors, lots of bikes and babes, hopefully some great...

Don,

Glad to hear you're looking to go to Daytona. Follow the cigar smoke. You'll probably find Ricky, Chris, Gary, Roy and I sitting under Stan or David's awning passing judgement on bikes and babes .

Great pic Ricky. Your bike goes from bad ass solo model to 2 up in a heartbeat as I was telling Don. Great setup. Don, there aren't many differences between the '07 and new models. The instrument gauge is different and there are some wiring/electrical changes but that's about it. It's hard to argue ...

Don, That comes on/off with an allen set screw on each chrome cover at the base. It slips over the frame rail right at the rear lights. On or off in 1 minute. The nice thing about that setup is there is suction cup seat pad for a passenger that goes on/off in seconds and looks good and you can use m...

Nice looking bike. Wonder if it's anyone we know?

Barry, I hear you and you are right. I blew a fuse in a Pet Supermarket a few weeks ago over this issue. Hence my using "dog toys" as an example. Not only were all the toys stamped "Made in China", but the dried pig's ears and dehydrated chicken strips were. The cashier (18 years...

You have no idea how disappointed I am that your new trike won't be at Daytona. With you not being there, I had plans to do some serious cross country, tire smoking, drag racing, bar hopping, police evading, cruising on your trike after hours. I was going to disconnect the odometer naturally so you'...

I've yet to see one finished product or part that comes from China and is worth a shit. We send stuff over for them to cheaply manufacture, they then steal our ideas and technology and put it together with cheap labor and shit material. I personally won't buy food or toy products for my dogs that ha...

What's your problem Barry? I clearly see the point. If I ever want one of them, it's time for someone to just shoot me.

Els.. There is a post on the other site... http://www.mybikeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19294 Tommy, What "other site", ha ha? ;) Yeah, I actually hijacked it when sneaking a peek there. I had never heard anything about it in spite of it being in my backyard. As Buck referenced, th...

For any of you folks in the SE who may be planning to go to this, let's hook up. Two hrs from my place and I definitely plan on being there before heading to Oklahoma.

Elliot, What do you mean, STEVE WON'T BE COMING TO DAYTONA???!!! Seriously, I was looking forward to him showing off and enjoying his new trike as much as anything this year! Bill P.S. Yes, I do stay at the Tropic Sun each year and love it. Every room is ocean-front, underground parking as Elliot a...

mind if I impose on your thread? I also have a similar condo for rent at a super great price just about next door at the Tropic Shores from Sat-Sat. Contact me directly buckgodwin1@embarqmail.com Buck Hey Buck, whaddya mean hijacking my thread (.)< trying to rent YOUR condo, ha ha :lol: ? Just kidd...

Yes, I second that . Just kidding, really appreciate you getting us going. I don't have the luxury of two V8 sites like some. If this mutha is down, I'm out of business .

There is one 1 bedroom condo (with additional sofa sleeper) available for Bike Week. A number of the V8 guys stay here. I'll be there, Chris Capps, Gary S. and I believe Wild Bill. Not sure who else. It is right on the beach about 10 minutes from Main Street. My favorite part....underground parking...

Hi Roy, Good to see you on the cool 8-) board, ha ha! Your bikes are awesome. You've got all the bases covered for sure! I'm still in awe of your picture taking in Tucson. It's one thing standing in a parking lot taking pics. It's another when you're doing 80 mph or more on a HD bagger and shooting ...

Welcome to the site. I would like to hear all the details on your trike as well.

Els

Someone should have put an ax or chainsaw in Stan's hands for that picture with the face protector

Els

Elliot , man that springer front end is wild !! In one of the pictures of your bike parked next to a couple of others with glide front ends what a difference !! WOW !! Jack Jack/Ricky, Thanks for the comments. I really like it as well. When I first saw this springer on Billy's trike I went nuts. I'...

Yep, thermostat set to 34 degrees and a 75 mph fan are reminiscent of some of that mountain riding we did for sure :o . In spite of, it was all good to me! Those awesome mountain roads and great scenery helped warm us up not to mention the constant smell of burnt rubber in the nostrils :lol: . Next ...

Who's "Squid" By the looks of the picture, Squid may have stolen that shirt from "Squirm"

I did know who you meant though

Els

That was one kick ass good time. Riding, brotherhood, drinking, hauling ass, great scenery, food, fun. Can't thank David & Deidra enough for hosting and Stan for hauling my bike there. I learned a lot on this trip. Stan doesn't quit smiling when around friends and getting to actually ride...espe...
