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 !!

Ya gotta watch her like a hawk. She'll drag you down and have her way with you. Amen and AMEN! after hanging around with the armadillos, you'd be woefully disappointed and I'd be feeling dreadfully inadequate...LOL

This coming from a man who owns four Rokon's?? ;-) j/k

BTW, have you seen the new rice grinder accessory pack?

I can point to a whole forum of them. M-109 riders Critter, the pictures of the Pismo beach ride are on there somewhere.

You hog riders think very highly of yourselves don't you. Just about every person I see riding a Japanese cruiser ride them for several reasons, none of which includes being gay or "metro-sexual". The reasons are; A lot of Harley riders are pretty decent folks too, although there are some stuck up snobs who think just because they ride a Harley, they're super cool. Such people apparently have a self esteem issue, and need a big expensive bike to boost their egos and feel important. That, and they think it helps them score with chicks.

#261. To: FormerLurker (#255)
lurker...I joke with folks all the time, but the fact is, I have friends that ride Honda's, Yamaha's, Kawasaki's and I have a friend that just bought a Can AM Spyder that I rode the other day and it was a hoot...it's all good. I happen to like Harley's, but anything that gets you out of a "cage" and lets you smell the air and feel the wind works for me. But seriously...Harley's ARE a chick magnet...everyone that rides one finds that out real quick...LOL
#262. To: farmfriend (#256)
GREAT video FF. Watched it...enjoyed it...thanks!
#263. To: farmfriend (#260)
don't put any money on that bet...mine pulls like a freight train at 110 and has loads of speed left in it...that six speed lets you cruise all day at 100 plus...I personally don't like crusing at much over 80...but out West, we'd cruise between 85-95 for miles.
Let's see you get your Hardly up to 110 with two people on it.

If I want to go 110 (or faster), I'll make a skydive.

yeah...I've done it...but it's a tad fast for my taste...and not what a cruiser was made for...I'll leave those speeds to the crotch rocket crowd.

Great road for the ride - thanks for the video.

#268. To: Freedomsnotfree (#264)
Hey, do you have any advice to our grinder pals on the best way to remove the Honda stickers from their bikes? It seems a lot of these posers go to extreme lengths to disguise the fact they're rice riders.

Around here it seems it's illegal to sell a crotch rocket to a white person.

I hear ya...they had the Myrtle Beach bike rally last month and it went off without a hitch...after that was black biker week and apparently they literally tore the town up...shootings, looting, stabbings, stealing...crazy stuff. One news paper article I read had the headline as "8 Hours of Hell". From the article it looks like things were pretty much out of control for a while...I'll bet that's the end of bike week at Myrtle Beach...we'll see.

Wrong on all counts.....bitch! Uh huh. Asshole. I ride a Hog cause it's the best road bike and they last....period. Most people I know who've owned Harley's are constantly fixing them, and spend as much money in "upgrading" the bike to make it work the way it's supposed to work as they spent buying it new. Not only that, but from what I've read, Harley Davidson service sucks ass where they usually fuck up the bike worse than it was when it came to the shop, charge an arm and a leg, and take months to perform a two hour fix. And like I said, it's pretty obvious that there are some who buy Harleys because they need it to feel like a "big man".

Did you know that many Harley parts are made in China? So what do THEY burn, soy sauce?

Well that's cool. I WAS thinking of a Harley myself awhile back, just didn't have the funds to get one. Ended up fixing my old Honda, an 84 Shadow. It gets around, and didn't set me back 18 grand or more.

After a little reading, just about EVERY HD part is made in CHINA since 2005. They are only assembled in the US, everything else is made in China or Mexico. On the other hand, the Honda VTX is made in Ohio from 100% US MADE parts.
