The VX800 is Gone



Trailer queen?

 On Friday night the VX800 shipped off to its new home.  The new owner apparently didn't waste any time getting to work on it, and had it running again the following morning.  He's promised photos when the bike is roadworthy again.

Suddenly, there is a lot of room in my garage.  Kind of gets the old brain churning a bit.  Kind of makes a fella feel like undertaking a new project.

Maybe a sailboat.

Nah.

Did You Know About This?

Apparently, Honda builds choppers now, and has been doing so for a while.  I guess I'm not paying enough attention to current motorcycle news - particularly motorcycle news related to choppers.

So, if you want an inexpensive chopper that looks reasonably good, maybe the Honda Fury is for you.  Do people still like choppers?  I get the impression that the chopper fad has passed, again, at least until it comes back around in 10 years.

VX800 Headed For A New Home



Still a sweet bike.

 After several years of not working on the VX800, I have had to admit to myself that it's a project I'm just not going to finish.  As such, I listed it for sale on the VX800 forum, and someone right here in Phoenix took interest immediately.

A gentleman who owns another VX800 stopped by on Sunday to check it out, and unless things change, will be back later this week to pick it up.  As I understand it, his plan is to fix it up and then give it to his brother.

I'm glad it's going to someone who has a passion for the VX800.  I still think it's a really, really cool bike.  Of course, I think every bike is a really, really cool bike, so I guess maybe I'm not the best judge.  All the same, I'm going to be sad to see it go.
