Lol yea apparently not so much Randy. Lotsa stuff around here I can't figure out. I'm more of a cheerleader with edit, delete and ban buttons that I barely know how to use.

Press a few at random, mate, and see what happens!
Tomas. Congratulations on your choice. Look forward to pictures and reports. You'll love it.

On our site, Admin have all the power, mods a bit less (and too much in some areas but that is another topic) and members even less. We don't allow members to change their log in or display names as that can lead to no end of mischief. If memory serves, we don't give mods that power either.

does your guys User CP not look like this? (Look at your profile section)


I looked around under Tomas log in and couldn't find this page so it must be controlled by the user. If yours doesn't look like this Tomas will have to PM Guth to get it changed I guess

Thanks again ferret, nope my page does not look like this. If you or Guth could change it to ( tomas ) no DLX attached, I would appreciate it.

That's an excellent deal, tomas! If I wasn't reasonably sure this bike was going to be with me until I stopped riding, I would have gone for a 2013 as well. They're a super buy right now!

Thanks DAC,
Honda East prices on them weren't that bad either, $8,599.00 + taxes. They'll always come out with something better, but I plan to stick with this one for quite awhile. Then it won't be a retro anymore, it'll be a classic.

I would keep the TomasDLX as you are the Delux Tomas riding the standard...

[shdwghst457_imp]

TomasDLX is much better than TomasSTD...

Congrats Tomas. You really can't go wrong with either year or model. they are both stunning and superb motorcycles.

and you are right about the ease of lubing and adjusting the chain with no pipe in the way. makes it so much easier

and saving money is always a good thing

Well, you guys probably won't think this is too cool: Yesterday I bought a new 2013 Honda Shadow Aero.

1. Fenders match my sidecar almost exactly, so does the chrome.
2. I love sport bikes, especially the CB but cruisers fit sidecars better anyway.
3. It's already black. NO painting.
4. Liquid-cooled. Low maintenance. No valve adjustment. (of course all Hondas are reliable)
5. Reliable shaft drive. No chain, no lube.
6. 750 smaller but plenty big enough for sidecar riding.
7. The DLX would cost about $12,000 with black paint.
8. 2014 Shadow Aero on sale for $6,799.
9. Yesterday I bought a NEW 2013 Shadow Aero for $5,999!!!
At 1/2 the price of a painted DLX, I couldn't resist.
I usually have 2 or 3 bikes anyway and recently bought a 2014 Indian Chief too. So, I may end up with a CB yet. Maybe a good low-mileage 2013 CB1100!


BTW, Now that I have a Shadow, I'm hanging out on the Shadow and Indian forums too. THIS is the best of all forums. And I've been on 5 motorcycle forums!

hmmm interesting...

ok, send Guth a pm I guess. all this computer stuff confuses this ol guy.

Maybe he could just open a new account and use that, since he's just getting started.

I originally registered here (as with ADVRider.com) with the user name "Plungerhead", but on all the other bike forums I belong to I'm known as "Inline4". Guth changed that for me.................
perhaps he can for you as well.
AND.....Welcome the the best bike forum there is.
