A 25-mile commute through Russian traffic and a powerful two-wheeled samurai sword, and you get a video showing the "quick" way to work. Sometimes this two-wheeler even becomes a one-wheeler as rare empty stretches of road disappear when the nose goes skyward. Hang On !!

Me too, but when you pull up at a light you can hear the difference and they won't look you in the eye.

Mine did the same...now, she really likes Jennifer Anniston...so I have to watch every chick flick she's in...see why the open road is so appealing?
I've got 34k on my HD and the only thing I've needed was a stader. I'd jump on that bike tonight and ride to the Pacific ocean and back and never worry about a break down...that's a fact.
That's funny but true...I rode to Sturgis with a buddy that rides a big Yamaha...he was completely decked out in Harley garb. I ribbed him about it for 4,000 miles.

Kinda early in the year for Austin, for that kind of heat.? Spent one frikking hot week in LLano while ago - thought it was getting close to death temperatures.
They know they're posers.

Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
My Yamaha buddy often refers to "moving up" to a Harley...He'll be the first to say he wants one. He rode mine one day and said the difference was unbelievable. I know I've put loads of miles on mine, had many 500 mile plus days and I've never thought, boy, I wish I had something else.
width of the tire is a good clue.

maybe, but my FXSTC has a wide 200 back tire and a skinny 21 inch front tire so tire width isn't such a great guide anymore. The bike in the 2nd video is really nice.
while that may be true...you wouldn't want to go into a biker bar and shout "Harleys Suck" either. LOL
Sounds like rice popping. Jap crap is jap crap......keep putting in bigger motors....you'll never sound like the real thing.

Because they don't have any.....give up.

I'll probably have pictures of this weeks ride to post later. Saw the new Star the other day. Boys in the car were looking at it wondering what it was and who makes it. I laughed. I actually knew that it was the new Star by Yamaha. Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
Yep, 110 cubic inches. 110 horse power, 120 ft lbs torque at the rear wheel.

that's what my buddy has...but I don't think his has the fairing
You're right.

I've got to confess, I've been looking at a Royal Enfield Bullet Classic just because they're different. I know, they're built in India....
__________________________________________________________ The one I saw didn't sound good. He kept revving it like he was having trouble keeping it running at the light.

Don't forget the trailer hitch........

well I'm going to have to give this up for now. Gotta go sit in a different chair for a few. Been fun talking with you though. Don't be a stranger.

the new screaming eagles have 110's. Mine is a 103 with 6 speeds and it pulls like a freight train at 90 mph, I can't imagine what the bigger motors feel like. I only tech 2500ish rpms at 75 mph.
I read an article on those not long ago in "Rider" magizine. It was a VERY positive article.
Just ask how many 1940 thru 1980 Hondas are still on the road today. :) Just stand at any intersection in the summer for a half hour and you are sure to see several HDs from way back when.
from a distance, I have a hard time telling what's a Harley and what isn't.

Yes, Mrs.L called me out of the dungeon to watch that flic.

but I'm still waiting to see a jap bike with 30,000 miles on it that's not ready for the scrap heap.

christine's gorgeous home, but right now, it is 96 and feels like 99: too damned hot to do anything but crank down the AC,

You're a bad. bad man LOL. When are you going to pick your bike up?

And the older they are, the more attention they get...I know folks that WANT the older Harleys.

Mine's coming up on 40 years old, and it's getting refreshed again so it can keep putting along for another 10 or 12 years. Got all the sheet metal off it tonight and sanded off the old paint. Tomorrow the heads and jugs come off for a fresh top end. Next weekend the paint should be done, in two weeks she'll be good as new, once again. :)

That is totally awesome. Probably better than sex.
I dont remember what sex feels like... but I'm pretty sure what that bike rider was feeling was better. lol.

Yea...weather here is sunny and in the 70's, close to perfect...

Perfect time to get it on the road...the weather is GREAT! Post some pics when it's done...let's SEE that classic!

Ack! The white Can-Am just sold...dammit all to hades.

There's another one out there...but those things DO sell. People that have, them love them.
#207. To: Freedomsnotfree (#206)
You're correct. I'm following up with the '09 in Round Rock and bidding 10.8K. We'll see how this goes. They like weapons, women, and buses, come around every ten minutes, or so. We just have to be patient.
