I have seen somewhere along the lines a bag for cars and trucks like this. You lay it out, drive onto it, then zipper zip ;lock type it closed. It has incandescent beads in bags, additives for you fuel etc. Been a while since I saw them.
Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs

I like those covers, but really aint that over protective of my bike. Heres mine 03 Honda VTX 1800,96hp/115 ft/lbs trq on chassis dyno. This is an old post, maybe we can get some more bikes on here.

I am actually looking to sell my superhawk for a cruiser.  I was riding my sisters VStar 650 for the last 2 months.  It was getting 55mpg @55mph

My mom rode a V-Star 650. Really a nice bike. I am on the large side, so I make it look like a moped, but my bro-in law bought it, drives it daily, and loves it. They really are good bikes, and great mileage. My bike only gets about 30mpg, but is an animal. Wide open throttle from a stop is not advized.

My buddy had both of his V-stars over here and I rode it the other night. It felt like a moped compared to my bike too. My mothers b/f bought one and loves it. You can't beat the price for what you get though.

I agree totally. For the price, its hard to beat.She sold her Suzuki250 for $2000 after riding it for a year,( bought it for $2200 new) and bought her Vstar for $2500. Not bad at all. I bought mine for $13000 out the door new. Not real cheap, but lots cheaper than the FatBoy I was looking at. I bought it because it fits me better, and feeds my need for power. The Fatboy didnt quite have the get up and go I wanted. Im a power junky, what else can I say. ???

I had a Vstar 1100 and loved it.  My wife said she wanted something sportier like the sport bike I had previously, sold it got the Superhawk and she hated it after only 3 rides.  I should have kept it, but the person that bought it offered me more that what it was worth, so....  Here I am wanting another one.

unfortunatly no. It is a smaller one. I believe it is a 100 or 110??? It is a side by side twin, but I dont think it is very big. It is a street bike ( I assume) because it has a speedometer, turn signals etc. Looks like the tank was originally chrome with the black knee pads, but someone painted it silver. I have the title and all for it. Its way too small for me, I was going to restore it and haul it in the back of my 68 Elcamino for show purposes. It is on the future project list though as my extended cab and choptop are first.
