Magic,
         Thank you for the additional photos. In the states, that would be a rare find. Are there many of them where you are ?  Some of us have talked about a European CVO ride in 2008 . I would love to bring home something like this old bike as a " souvenier "  I mean it's only fair since we send you brand new CVO's while we wait for the here- - is it not ?

LOL IF you send me a CVO'08 for sure i'll find & send you almost 2 french oldies ;-)
In europe there were lot of motorcycle cie betwen the 2 world wars so yes there are many oldies like mine. most difficult is to find HH oldies prices are crazy !
A European CVO ride in 08 should be a good idea but if many averseas guys & bikes cross ocean. Are you ready to do it ? If yes, for sure we would organise your arrival & your time in Europe much better than you can imagine

         Usually my vacations involve me taking off across the states on my bike alone. This would be different. The Mrs would " Lorena " me if I didn't include her since her Mum was from England. I've put the idea out on the table to her, but so far she hasn't responded. Knowing her, it's probably the time off from work. She has played free agent quite a bit these past few years going after more and more $$$ without much in the way of benefits. All I can say at this point is that I'm workin on it.

This is what now sites in the garage next to my CUSE.......

[spydglide]

Hey SEEG Geezer......tell us a bit about your 'bobber'.  What frame, motor, etc.   Looks good.  Bet it's  a 'blast', huh?  har!  spyder

[SEEG Geezer]

Santee Rigid Frame (which was powder coated with a metallic base so it transforms in the sunlight)
2003 EVO Engine with:
     - SE Hi Performance Heads
     - Andrews Cam
BDL 3" Drive Belt
Harley Wide Glide Front End
Performace Machine Brakes
Ultima Single Fire Ignition

It has a very unique gas tank.......it's 3 dimensional...looks like a skull is trying to excape from the tank.

Was built in the Austin, TX area...very fast ride (weighs close to nothing compared to the CUSE)....not much rake in the neck (no floppiness at all).

Really a fun little bike.......my only real challenge with it is that I'm used to having a speedo with an odometer. Since the bike only gets about 70 miles or so on a full tank of gas, I'm guessing when I fill it up. Since it's got a carb, there is a reserve so I haven't run out of gas yet. I'd guess that last weekend I put about 150 miles on it............with the rigid rear end, it's not really that well suited for these horrible Texas highways, but I was able to keep up with all of the cages and trucks on the highway.....just got beaten to death.

Also, has a really neat rear fender....he cut out part of the fender and backed it with aluminum plate so it looks really great. The pinstriping is well done and the paint job is really cool.

I think the pipes are "L.A.F." brand pipes.......(loud as f***)

My son is coming to visit in about two weeks and he and I are going to tinker with it some (idle is set too high and needs a horn to pass inspection). He is a Harley mechanic at a stealer in a northern suburb of Atlanta, GA. While he is here, we're going to do some serious riding.

Thanks for the info.....I know it's a fun scooter.  You can use a squeeze-bulb horn to get by the inspection.  har!  spyder

Well, not exactly in the garage, but occasionally she will find her way back to my driveway for a little TLC



This is my namesake, a 2004 Cobalt 240 with a Volvo 8,1 Gi dual prop that is supposed to throw out 375 HP.  I can get her over 60 mph if all the stars are aligned, i.e. smooth lake, perfect humidity, light load, etc.

I'm trying to get vinyl letters with the name "WaterHawg" for the rear.

It's so big it won't even all fit in the photo!   Nice boat!

[SilverDawg]

Thanks.  Now I just need the wife to tell me that about certain parts of my anatomy
