The 0-60 for the "performance" model of 2.5 seconds is better than anything out there, but after about a quarter mile, other cars catch up because of their higher top speed. For the race track, you're better off with gas...for now. 1
Seasons1992 Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 2005 CR-V with only 258,618 miles on it. The tailgate is covered in brewery stickers (plus a big Bills logo magnet). Best rig I will ever own (unless I get my dream vehicle....a 4Runner). Either it, or I, will expire before we part.

My buddy has one in LA..compnay car so he does not pay for it. Loves the acceleration, but it does not have some other features that most would consider standard now on cars above say $50K in price. BTW, i am not a car guy, do not know the model, but it is about a year old and know the car cost over $100K.

Sweet Lou Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 Not sure how to post a photograph or I would. I've been off the site for a while due to the illness and unfortunate death of my wife in August, 2017. My ride is a 1978 Ironhead. It's white with whitewall tires on red wheels and loud would just be a huge understatement. 1

PlayStore. 200kb is site limit for attachnents. Or: just find reasonable facsimile and post the photo link, it will embed in post. New board is sweet!

Sweet Lou Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 Thanks Exile and Thanks Doc. It's been a long, tough road, but I'm getting there. I'm gonna ask for some help from some computer guys because the bike is worth a look and a listen. Got a short video of it in the driveway last weekend. To me it was a symphony!
