Yes, being a VET is sacred.
Having served, being injured, or killed, for your country , is VERY sacred.
Ask any Gulf War vet, or Vietnam Vet, or WWII vet
The name VET, should be self explanatory.

But, feel free to use the word "VET" but use it wisely, and with respect.

Now, if you wanted to call me OLD, Disabled, unable to walk 'Normally', you might have a case, but to bring it to the VET territory, you done crossed over the line.

I have people form my old forum www.thesabrehood.org tell me how amazed they are that after just 11 months after my accident, I'm back on a bike/trike/scooter.

I, too, was falling a lot. (still do) I quit working on the cars, now, I'm back in the garage, laying on the floor,(which is kinda funny watching a one legged guy sit down, and get up to go get another tool) wrenching/maintaining/enjoying life.

And, the 'don't get mad' part, ain't a get outa jail free card.

I think you got some splaining to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I said it before, I did 25 years active duty 69 - 94
words can not explain where i been and what i seen

Alley has even more experience/war/horror stories than any of us here.

So, back the F off and,like Alley said, rethink what you said.

In the motorcycle world, we did a comparison (dyno) in HP after switching out a stock muffler system (Honda Shadow) with a 2 into 2 exhaust system
We LOST 3 HP.

Yea Yea, we all know of your disdain for anything other than Japanese.
In fact, I love Japan also.
I was stationed there for 4 years, loved the people, the lifestyle, their cars, countryside, the entire country.
(was stationed close to where the nuclear site is/was/blew up/destroyed/etc)

But, I do like the Yamaha Morphus, and was just clarifying that's what you have, since I'm a newbie here.

You, personally, really should lighten up on those of us who don't have a Yamaha
BTW: I've got some Japanese bikes also (Goldwing/Shadow Sabre and what's left of the Magna)

And, I know you're just wanking everyones chain, as you couldn't be as big an arse as Alley says you are.

Either way, I was just commenting on your JAPANESE scoot. Nice, if I had 2 working legs, I'd get one.

Yea, I picked up on that right away.
I like pushing buttons tho, so thought I'd see how far he would go.
But, I don't get into name calling, bashing, 'my dad can beat your dad' stuff.
I'm here to learn, meet folks, see new scoots, as, I've been into bigger bikes since I started riding years ago.
We all know why I'm here now, and I'm really kinda getting into this scoot thing.
I still got the Wing, and the Shadow, and may some day ride em again.
But, for getting around town, short trips, or that late evening ride (what I call the "Loop"), around the city. about a 25 mile ride of making right hand turns, it's the greatest.
And, if this trike (which finally gets delivered today, between 1 - 4, turns out to be a chick magnet, it'll pay for itself.
(OK, I can dream, can't i??)

I kinda gathered that, but at some point his constant
"my japanese scoot is better than your Chinese scoot"
has gotta stop.
We get his personal bias.
It seems he's always looking for an argument

Oh well, every forum has one
Kinda like dealing with children
Thanx

I have three other japanese bikes, and I do little maint. But they cost 12,000 8,000 and 5,000 ($25K)
(Goldwing/shadow/Magna)

I paid 3999 for my chinese trike ,of which I need a trike cause I'm handicapped and can't ride a two wheel scoot and a new goldwing trike costs 32K, a used trike costs 15 - 20K and I don't wanna spend that much right now. And there is no one else who makes a trike for less, except icebear.

Now, the next argument is to buy a good used maxiscoot, and trike it, which puts me back at 10K.

Or, spend 4 - 5K for a voyager kit, But spending 5K to trike a 3K used wing isn't cost effective.

Me guessing me be $$$ ahead at the end anyhoo.
Even if I blow an engine a year from now, I'll stll be money ahead.
I may have to tighten a screw/nut/bolt occasionally, but, I do that on my cars also.
But, as you are soo pro japanese and so anti chinese, we'll never agree.
I'm not arguing.
I agree Japanese are less maint, and higher cost
And Chinese is lower cost, and nore maint, but parts are cheaperalso.
So, we'll never agree

Now, it's a nice day...go ride
