Sweet ride bar.. lucky you can ride it in this weather. Have had mine in the garage last couple weeks. Wish the cold would go away.

Our hurricanes are an issue here in FL.

No, so far so good. It kind of moves for a while, stalls, then a new lava breakout from above occurs in a different direction. This could go on for years.

Just went through my email for the day. Got one from Johnny Pag motorcycles. They are announcing a new motorcycle to their lineup. It sure looks like the Dong Fang bobber, but with some differences. A chrome exhaust, peanut tank, springer front forks, apparently no front fender(?). There is one photo in the email, but they don't show the bike on their website yet. Pag has some nice looking bikes, but they are on the spendy side of things for China bikes. They have been using a 320cc fuel injected water cooled vertical twin engine, but this new one sure looks like the air cooled single the Dong uses to me.

Here is the website:

I like the Ventura. What kinda $ they asking for that ? And BTW , Its water cooled as they say. Those are psudo (fake) cooling fins on the cylinder. Ya gotta have the air cooled look on a bobber.

They are marked at $4999.00. And the new bike doesn't use this water cooled engine. They are very nice looking motorcycles. The Frisco model, with the springer front end is $5499.00. Don't know about the one in the email, as no price is given. It should be less, with the air cooled single engine.
