Just got home and she safe and sound! Now if I don't drop her getting her off the trailer tomorrow. The trailer was actually 9 feet long and was made to carry a moto. It traveled great with no problems.

Tundra and I were talking about you today Ron, wondering how it was going. Glad you got her home in one piece. Can't wait to see it at the next ride-in. Jeff

Yup! Probably no sleep tonight! Up at the crack of dawn and waking up the neighborhood. Ooops, just remembered I have no plate yet. Anyone know if it can be rode with a bill of sale? I already insured it. |

From what I understand, yes!
I do it all the time with the boats I purchase. Some, in fact have yet to be registered and titled after...well......too long!
Rode my Valk for almost 10 days here in Florida before I stopped and got the tag.

Ron, If you have AAA you can go to the tag office on Westshore Blvd. Tax, tag and title while you wait. Monday thru Friday; maybe Saturday.  TPD might pop ya down there in South Tampa without a tag. It's not worth a conversation with them about it. James |

Finally got my first ride this morning!!! Wow, has a lot of power and a whole lot of noise even with the baffles installed! The Valk is definitely a whole different moto than my BMW. Cleaned her up from the trip yesterday and added a little polish. My pipes are almost as blue as my Beemer's paint. I'm wondering if the carbs had ever been re-jetted? First thing I did was remove the trunk. I just think it looks much better without it. My friend Jimmy came over to check out my new ride and was thoroughly impressed with it. He has a new Yamaha "Bolt." He likes street bikes instead of cruisers.    |

My next little problem is storage of the moto. About three years ago I converted my carport into a dining room. So "now" all I have is a 4' wide front porch and two moto's to store. My plan is to build onto the front porch, about five feet out, with a Japanese style extension that will have corrigated fiberglass to shed the water to the side. I could at least park the two bikes stright in, side by side.  |

Get a shed, delivered. Just had a 14' by 24' set in the back corner of my property a few months back. Helps keep the excess crap,,, outta the shop n' the garage. Plus, it's a good place to escape to,,,,, when necessary...  |

I have two sheds on my lot Ron. They are from Tuff-Sheds and are wonderful. I have a 10 x 14 and a 10 x 8. I park my bike in the garage but there would be room a plenty for a Valk in either one of them. They bring them out and assemble them at your site. I bought mine through Home Depot (surprise huh?) because I wanted the 24 month-no interest financing but they are based right there in Tampa and you can buy direct from them. They build a real nice, (not cheap however) shed that you can customize any way you want to. I wired, plumbed and painted mine myself and saved hundreds! I don't know if you can put one on your property or not but that would solve your problem.

I already have two, which I built, in my back yard already. It would be too sandy and tires would sink creating another problem. Think adding porch overhang is the way to go for me.  |

I just knew we would get around to food! Especially "Taco's and Tamales!" I'm from Texas and it is impossible to find a good "crispy" taco here in Tampa. I tried soooo many places and they all taste like they came from Taco Bell. I do make my own but it's just not the same as going into a Mexican restaurant and getting good food. I did find a grocery store over in Plant City that sells good tamales.
In September I had to travel back to Texas for deaths in the family. I ate at Mexican restaurants the whole time I was there.

OK..finally. I now remember why Larue's bike looks so familiar to me. Paxton's 2000 solo Standard. Both done to such a high level of personalization. Beautiful.

Put up something temporary for now. I have the exact same setup, and it's permanent. No garage, but a dedicated 10 X 12 bike shed in the back, paved to the street (driveway), with the sun shade right up against the double shed doors. My cover is ripped/torn, and I have a replacement, but will wait out the Winter ice before replacing. Not the finest looking setup, but I have huge oaks overhead that drop deadwood from time to time, and the shade is helpful in hot weather (No pic) Edit: I had to secure two of the four legs to the ground.... a high wind will make it fly away like a helicopter. |
