Close L.B.S. - its a 79 CM400A

I did min in red too, love the way it looks, used the glossifier on it, and i'm sort of wishing i had just used regular clear coat (spray paint) instead. it is peeling in a couple of spots, but nothing horrible. you can see in one of the pictures where my pants are rubbing on the side of the...

any chance of still ordering for those of us who were away for a couple weeks? if not.. oh well.. guess i should pay more attention next time.

mine makes a sort of rattle type noise also, seems like its coming from the engine and being amplified by the hollow storage area. i notice it mostly under 40 mph, but its always there. it does almost sound like bearings or something, but i'm not too worried about it. no knocking or anything to...

40 degrees outside, kinda windy... went for about a 30 minute ride. realized that my balaclava and sunglasses don't work together so well. might have to put the tinted shield on next time. i stayed pretty warm other than my hands. wore a t-shirt, regular hoody, with an icon hooligan 2 with the...

mine is dead on with the state patrolmen's radar gun (kidding!)

i think i got 70 mpg right off the bat with mine, maybe it was 69, can't say for sure, but i told my dad about it (he was a honda dealer back in the 70's and 80's) and he said yeah, once you get about 1500 miles on it, the engine should loosen up and you'll get good gas mileage. (he meant...

i just about had an anxiety attack watching that first video... that is putting way to much faith in other people to not swerve or switch lanes for me. i don't trust other drivers at all, especially when i'm on two wheels... no way. just watched that 2nd video and that is exactly what i would...

i have found myself throwing out the urban commuter type thing, but a little more touring than a motard. i buy it.

that was my first thought too... i've never even heard of a mana before, but it does look like a pretty nice bike. still. could have 1 and a half NC's for that price

i would probably take it if rocket doesn't, let me know. i want one, but don't plan on leaving it on the bike all the time, so cosmetics wouldn't bother me unless its real bad.

32, depends on what you count as abuse. i used to ride mountain bikes constantly throughout my teens, hopped on one a couple of years ago and holy crap that was an uncomfortable seat! my XL has a nice cushy seat (i think it is anyway), rode my little brothers KTM supermoto, it was a noticeable...

i really don't see what the big deal is about the seat?? maybe i've just never ridden a bike with a comfy seat?

heh.... this thread reminded me.. riding home from work this week, i pull out of our parking lot to a right turn yield, doing maybe 45 or so. i'm looking to my left to make sure no traffic is coming, just starting to get back up from leaning around the corner, and i see a big glob of mud on the...

my wife walked in while i when i started watching this... and says.. can you do that? (specifically the first "maneuver") i looked at her and said, can't everyone that rides a bike? i didn't think the repeated u-turns were very impressive either, the only part that did impress me a little was...
