Man, I've got to get to posting. Got a message from Dan today, he said If I get to 50K by the end of the month I can have FREE Scrapyard knives for for the rest of my life! YUP, gave me the phone number directly to his office. I guess I dialed wrong when I did a test call, the folks were talking this funny language that I would swear was some kind of Chinese! Oh well, I'll try again when they open up in the morning. I had to have dialed the wrong number. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Greaser, mine was made to fit me while I was stationed in Japan. It is a nice bike, and to have survived what I've put it through, believe me It's tough!

The first bicycle I bought over there was on base and was a Huffy. I literally had it worn out in 6 months. The Panasonic was ordered at a bicycle shop off base.

My last MOTOR cycle was a Yamaha Verago(?) 550 V twin. Just didn't have enough Umph to cruise very much. Patty had an Uncle die on a bike so I wound up selling it. I miss riding, but that's ok, her piece of mind is much more important. I sure did like that scoot though.

You would love the new 550s they will do 70 MPH all day long. But yes a happy wife is a happy life.

If I remember correctly the Panasonic weighs about 21 pounds. More with the rear rack and bag I had on it. It was my only transportation over there the last three years I was there. So it did a lot of hauling folks here would think is nuts.

WOW! Mine would only do 65 down hill with a 45 mph tailwind! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Seriously, 55 on it was about all it wanted to do. It was a 92 or 94 and I bought it in 95, had it for 2 years and sold it.

Sorry to have barged into your all's conversation, I didn't mean to be rude.
