I just recently bought an 02' V-Star 1100 because my wife hates riding on the sportbike(go figure). It's a nice bike, but I definately love the performance factor of the sportbikes much better!!!!



Yes, Deals Gap is the real name, Tail of the Dragon is another name that road has picked up. I will be there for 3 full days, and a partial morning this coming tuesday before we head home.

See k i l l b o y . c o m - Your High Quality Photos from*the Tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap for his weekly picture-blog and updates!!!


I am jealous... Good luck and be safe, I dont wanna see any of your parts added to the tree of shame...

So many, where to start......

I like watches, have several IMC's, Rolex's, and Breguets.

Boats..... Well I have bought and sold a couple of Eliminators and Daves Custom's, and almost bought a new 32 Yellowfin to keep in Fl, but couldn't strike the right deal with Wylie so that's on hold.

I am also into Coaches, the motorized kind. I have a Marathon Prevost for sale as I just started building a Newell (they are a client of mine) and I need to get rid of it. My wife thinks I'm nuts.

I have found that owning airplanes is fun, but the money needed for mx and such is just too high a price tag anymore for pleasure. For business, well, I sold those along with my old company.

I spend alot of time fishing and have some nice fly equipment (Sage, Charlton, and Tibors). Not a Loomis fan really.

One thing that sucks is I get wrapped up in one thing for awhile, learn about it, buy it, then go on to the next thing. I think that I enjoy researching them than anything else.

380 lbs + 191 horsepower = :D

yeah, that looks fun, but where do you keep the beer?

My favorite bike was a Honda PC800. The only motorcycle ever built with a trunk:

eBay Motors: Honda : PACIFIC COAST (item 230275786685 end time Aug-01-08 19:47:16 PDT)

When I went riding with the Harley guys, they all chuckled at my "scooter".... until one day. We were on a poker run, I pulled the drain plugs out of the trunk, filled it with ice and just shy of 3 CASES of beer. After that, I got inveited on lots more rides :)

Here's what I spend my money on...when the wife lets me, that is. Got a couple left out, but here's most of the family. My Stag AR w/Aimpoint ML2 and Pentagon X2 L.E.D., Beretta 96FS Inox, and my two carry guns: HK USPc 9mm, and Glock 19. Also have a Kahr PM9 for my wife, but I carry it, too, since she doesn't have her CCH License yet.

Spent money on a HK USPc .45 var1 .... not even a whisper of a problem, perfectly accurate, around 7000 rounds so far, best purchase by far, a little big for CCW, built up a gas piston AR with an upper from POF.
KingAirDriver: If you get a chance, check out the ACE SOCOM stock for your AR, really amazing difference in overall feel...very solid.

Most of my money I spent on women and airplanes, the rest I just wasted.

I've got a 2002 YZF600R. If you haven't already, check out YZF600R.com and oldskoolyzf.com.
