Hi Rob!
 
Yeah, I wasn't happy with it, and every time I went to ride it it made me almost a little queasy - then when I actually got riding and I got to experience one (or all) of it's little idiosyncrasies, i.e. stalling when I hit the throttle, bucking and snorting when not either accelerating or decelerating, backfiring and popping, it made me realize just how dissatisfied I was with that "legendary Honda quality".  I advertised it for sale for over two months and the only legitimate call I got was from a guy in San Diego - he ended up coming up with a truck and a trailer and picking the bike up.  He is thoroughly enjoying it - he's been riding since he was 17 years old, and this bike is just what he wanted.  He is very experienced, so he is OK with all of the little issues on the bike, so he's happy and I am rid of an irritation and a constant reminder of a very big mistake.
 
I am hoping to have a new bike within the next 30 days or so - I'm looking at ebay, but most of the bikes are in the midwest or east, and the shipping and problems with actually 'seeing' a bike are kind of daunting.  I'm also debating new vs. used ... who knows.  I'll let you all know when I get something going.

Bikeless?  What happened to the VTX?  I know you weren't happy with it.

Hi Bill!

I know what you mean - I couldn't work in that type of confined space, either - at least now. When I was younger, the only things that bothered me were BUGS! $1,000/day sounds good, but I wonder if they get full pay for the decompression time? 

Anyway, how are you feeling? Are you getting any riding in? The weather out here in California has been nothing short of fantastic, but being bikeless means that it doesn't help me a bit.

I hope everyone is doing well.

Hi Folks,
I was watching Science channel last night, about hardhat pressure divers.
I have a nephew that does that in the Gulf. WOW, working at depths unrevealed,
8hr shift, 2 divers working and 1 in the bell as safety. Then they are brought
back to the top and live in a pressure chamber til next shift. They do this
for 21 days then they are off for 21 days. 5 years ago, I know he was making
$1000 a day. Now in my twilite days I have become claustraphobic, and couldn't
doit. The diving bell only holds 3, and the safety man waits in a submerged
capsule the size of a phone both, for 8 hrs. Hello ...$1000 isn't nearly
enough thank you!

After working in elevator shafts, dumbweighter, escalator truss, smoke stacks,
and coal mines, I didn't become claustraphobic until I had my MRI for my neck
problems. But my Doc friend says, "remember that you can get out, and that
you're not entombed", that helps.
