Kawasaki Vulcan description

I looked long and hard for this bike.  Wanted one since before they came out in 1998 and it took me many years to find one in the condition I wanted.  Thought I'd never sell it, but building a house and baby on the way says otherwise.  Folks that have seen this bike have described it as "sculptural."  It's that stunning. It came to me basic black but I had a Kawasaki mechanic remove the front and back wheels and fenders and then I sent them out to be painted red on the sides as seen in the photos.  Saw an old Indian painted this way once and loved it.  I took the forks and rear drive housing and stripped the plastic coating off them (it was scratched and cloudy) and sanded them all the way down to 1500 grit to remove scratches and lathe-turn marks.  Polished them up to shine like chrome and coated them with a special aluminum clear coating that looks fantastic.  I added the Dunlop wide-whites (2000 miles on them) and since the photos were taken, have added a National windscreen that is easily removed.  It is practically brand new.  The bike is more comfortable on the highway with the windscreen but looks more traditional without it. This is a beautiful bike that gets lots of attention, is super low, wide, long, and comfortable.  The stock exhaust has just enough of a rumble to sound powerful.  I think the tank has one small chip tough up on it, but you can't even notice it.  Other than that I can't think of anything else wrong with the bike.  One thing that I will mention is that occasionally the bike will have to sit a few minutes to restart after it has been ridden for a while.  It doesn't happen every time, I took it to the dealer who could find nothing wrong, and it hasn't really been an issue for me.  Just want to disclose everything I can think of.  If you like these gorgeous bikes, you won't be disappointed with this one.  They seem to have stopped depreciating and now are heading upwards in value.  I have seen a lot of the Indian-clones for sale here and elsewhere, you know the ones, with the Indian-head lights on the fenders, the fringes, and the Vulcan emblem removed and "Indian" stuck on the tank.  I chose not to go that direction with this one but you can make this bike your own from this point.  Just for your information,  I am not a regular vehicle seller on this site.  This is not my occupation or hobby.  I am the owner and operator of this bike who decided to pass along a great cycle to someone who appreciates it.  


Shipping:  Will not ship, but will work with your shipping company to facilitate pickup of this bike at my location in Oak Hill, WV.  Continental US buyers only.  I will accept cash for immediate pickup, personal or cashiers check.  The vehicle and title will be held until the check clears.  Just for your information,  I am not a regular vehicle seller on this site.  This is not my occupation or hobby.  I don't buy and flip vehicles for money.  I am the owner and operator of this bike who decided to pass along a great cycle to someone who appreciates it.  Email with any questions and I will get back to you ASAP. Thanks for looking.

2014 AMA Supercross – Anaheim 1 Results

Mon, 06 Jan 2014

KTM rookie Ken Roczen captured his first 450 class win in the AMA Supercross world championship, taking the season opener at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, Calif. An audience of 45,050 fans watched a clean race from the rookie while errors by veterans like James Stewart and three-time reigning champion Ryan Villopoto knocked them out of contention. Villopoto had a strong start, taking the holeshot and leading the first eight laps, just like the Kawasaki rider had done so often the last few seasons.

2011 ZX-10R onboard lap.. worked out nice

Thu, 16 Dec 2010

I've been playing around with video cameras in the office here for a good year with varying degress of success. The GoPro we use is great - when it's behaving. But I've had too many sessions where it doesn't like the SD card I fed it, the batteries die as you're leaving pit lane or you record a perfect lap, but with the camera pointing at the sky, or the tank.
