HSATF Member Posts: 14 10/09/07 4:38 AM	Tags : None Hey guys...just following instructions! I am new to the forum I don't have a lot to offer- mainly because I came here to find out all the things I have no clue about (everything) HaHa. Been riding about two years now, feel I have a great group to ride with. I am on my second bike a 1998 Honda Ace Tourer. I moved up from a Yamaha V Star 650 - which I thought was a sweet ride till I climbed up on this 1100. Just put two new tires on her and she is really riding sweet. I love to piddle is the main reason I bought an older bike, but there is really not much to do but pamper her with Bling Bling (chrome) and take her out and stroke her! She seems to keep herself together very well as long as someone is paying attention! I am leaving for the Ozarks in a week and would love some suggestions for good day rides. Will be staying around the Mountain View area. That's it guys thanks for having me and I intend to listen and learn!

If you are close to the Ozarks, make sure to attend the Eureka Sprigs Ride Rally Ride the end of April next year. We ahve kind of adopted it as an official Spring T Rally. Keep an eye on the "Events" section. -Dan

I believe that your going to find out that there is not a whole lot of tinkering necessary with our Tourers. Just buying chrome and polish, polish, polish. I envy you your upcoming trip to the Ozarks. I live in Upstate New York and I have visited Arkansas twice. I find it to be the perfect state for riding and enjoying the scenery. Stan already told you about our annual get together in April in Eureka Springs. Now that is a good time and a wonderful way to see a whole lot of Tourers. I know that you've joined the forum to learn a lot more about your T, but don't be afraid to jump in and voice your opinion or share your experiences. No one here bites......well maybe one or two, but their only nibblers and one likes inflatable toys and.....well never mind, you'll find this all out on your own. Welcome to the forum. I'm looking forward to 'talking' with you more in the future. alepel "Ride with the Spirit always, and in all ways".....hombldr

HSATF Member Posts: 14 10/09/07 9:13 AM	Thanks everyone for the welcome. I do plan and spending some of my time on this trip taking pictures, but that is what I do for a living and it is often fun to put down the camera and live a little without having to worry about the equipment to carry. -) And yes I have already found out there is very little to do with these "T's", as you so lovingly refer to them, except gas, tires and oil.

Posts: 2327 10/09/07 10:25 AM	Glad you found us Clamb. Have a great time riding in the Ozarks area and like Alain and Dan said, head south and hit some of the Northern Arkansas roads. You will not be disappointed. Maybe you can make the T Spring Rally. The people are great and the riding is pretty good as well. If you make the rally and people start talking about vinyl and air pumps, pay no attention to them. Once again...welcome! Bob

I do it is purple and has pink pin stripes! Takes a "Real Man" to ride it! But I get a lot more positive comments on the color than negative...the women love it and I'm single so that is a plus LOL

Posts: 233 10/10/07 7:10 AM	Looks good to me . My wifes aunt had a Harley that was purple with pink pin stripes on it and it really looked good . nice color contrast . My T was scraped the other day by a friend of mine and will need one saddle bag painted , and I am thinking about doing a full paint job instead . If I do I am not sure what I will go with , but I want something unique . Probably not a stock color for the T , maybe a good bright blue . I think I want to go with the flames like the 50's hot rods had and have not yet decided what color will look good on my bike and compliment the flames as well . The painter suggested satin black like the old school rat rods , but I am not too sure about that . Maybe I will start another thread and get suggestions for color combinations .

HSATF 1st Officer Posts: 4016 10/10/07 8:26 AM	I think the T just begs for flames. It has that 50's rounded look like most of the autos of that time. I am particularly fond of blue flames on pearl white or silver like this one. After seeing a local hot rod painted Honda's Illusion blue pearl flames (GoldWing, Sabre, Ace, etc.) over a slightly blue shade pearl white, I have to give it my 2 thumbs up. If you don't like this look, then this site will give you some ideas. Just click on each event for a photo gallery of that event. There are hundreds to look at. http://www.hotrodsandclassics.net/photogalleries.htm Stan "We are different - yet we are the same" 2004 GL1800 Goldwing (Titanium) 1999 Ace Tourer (Silver over Black)

Posts: 233 10/10/07 12:53 PM	That base color is actually one that we were discussing at the paint shop the other day . It is the color the painter has on his truck , but he has some wild grafics instead of flames . I might go with something along those lines . Really a great looking ride too .
