New from the burbs of the former motor city

Hello boys and girls . Just joined and I go by Joe Black aka TheReaper!
I posted some pics of all my 2 wheelers in "my album" here . I just bought my Silverwing a few weeks ago , it's a 2004 with a Kenwood CD player and a grand total of 800 miles on it . I made a guy an offer on Craig's List for $3,000 and after a couple of weeks of haggling , he took it . I am presently re-doing the seat , I removed the butt stop and the cover and am now working on a back rest . I was able to buy an extra seat from a guy off of Yahoo's Silverwing site for a $100 , so I didn't have to mess up the original with all the mods . That way if and when I sell it I can put it back to original . Looking forward to conversing with you wing nuts . I live about 25 miles N.E. of Detroit near Lake St Clair . TheReaper!

Hey Joe,

Welcome to the site and thanks for joining. It's a new site but hopefully it will grow. Please feel free to post and we would all like to hear, or see pics, of your mods. I hear you guys are getting hit pretty hard out there.

If you mean economically , we have gotten hit VERY hard . I owned a fairly large business here for decades , I saw the writing on the wall early on , and sold out in plenty of time . I've been totally out for almost 5 years , I didn't look for any thing else I just plain retired . Now I go to bed when I want , get up when I want , and do what ever I want all day long . For me personally things are great , but for most people things are very difficult right now in this area .

Welcome, Michigan is beautiful. I went to college in Adrian, MI. I agree the retired people if you are with a good group are in pretty good shape. We are both retired teachers and the system in OH is excellent. Now it's play time
