I just sold my 2005 honda VTX 1800C spec 3. I miss her but did not ride enough to keep her. She sure was and still is a purty bike. I will get another two wheel soon. I miss my heels in the breeze. I still ride my uncles spare road king a few time a month. so I will survive.

My next bike will be the Victory Vegas 8 ball, can't decide if I want it blacked out or custom diamond plate cuts into the motor and chrome? http://www.victorymotorcycles.com/en...ll-solid-black

Maybe one of their others as well, been a while sense I looked at everything they had, but 100% American made, well balanced, sleek curves, respectable price, and fully customizable.

victories are my fav. production bikes right now out of my price range sadly. The diomand cutting they did as an add on to my buddies friends victory looked amazing. It is blacked out but certain areas have the diomand cuts and are highly polished looks amazing He had led that changed colors and it was sweey yo see the colors reflect off those areas.

I love Harleys and older style bikes. Buells are nice as well. My buddy has a 80s Sportster, fully built, racing motor, Betty Boop on the tank, and the damn thing pops wheelies in 3rd, and his other is a 04 or something like that night train, blacked out, custom paint and built as well.

I know how to ride and have before, this will be the first bike I will have owned, and its a 83 Honda Nighthawk 650. Custom done up, and getting it to finish up some things. I am very excited about it. Just need something to keep the mileage on the truck down

Grab a pic if you don't mind, been years sense I've seen the cuts. As for the price, I think the Vegas is around 12k, which isn't too bad but add insurance to the mix and dang things start to add up.

Thanks. I've attached saddle bags to it since then and am currently waiting on the mounting hardware for a fairing that I picked up. Hope to get that installed next weekend.

That should give it a much more classic look, please post up a pic when you get-r-done.

You guys are making me jealous with all these bikes. I sold my last one and have been trying to get my hands on another ever sense but other toys keep taking the spot light.
