Motorcycle ping!...................

Why not just buy a car?

[Zuriel]

They forgot to paint the brake discs flat black. /s

[Red Badger]

Wouldn’t stay that way very long.....................

[ganeemead]

That defeats the purpose of motorcycles...

[Zuriel]

Yep, and road bikes are like having a roadster with no top to put up when it rains.

With the deer strikes we have around Lewis County, TN, I wouldn’t go over 35 mph on a road bike.

Replacing the REAL Harley's, before they were forced to go "woke", and build battery-powered by the Globalists (via the banks lending)....old REAL Harley's values will skyrocket. Same as used cars and trucks with ICE power are doing now.

NO real American wants the glorified rascal scooters.......or limited-range/limited charging stations for the EV's.

[dragnet2]

They’re like two wheeled cars...

I had a low rider back in 2000. It was a fun bike but the number of deaths in the city caused me to face reality and sell the damn thing.
Back when people read newspapers it was a weekly event to read of newly retired teachers, doctors, etc, getting killed on their motorcycle shortly after retiring.
It’s not IF you will have an accident on a motorcycle but WHEN you will have an accident on a motorcycle.

lol

horrible.

Fatsos have two choices, either go on a diet or buy a Harley.

[going hot]

Mileage definitely varies.

It’s not IF you will have an accident on a motorcycle but WHEN you will have an accident on a motorcycle.

Not entirely true, as some get lucky and some have enough skills and luck to avoid going under the wheels.

Ride like you're invisible, pretend nobody in cars sees you because many don't see you because they're simply not paying attention. Pretend every intersection is a death trap, because most are. Every vehicle in the opposing lanes getting ready to make a left turn in front of you is a potential killer. No joke.

Overall a nice looking build. The black with "cloudy white" over the top looks like a vehicle covered in salt spray during the Winter. It says "wash me now". I think that would be a turn off to people who live in an area where dried salt spray is considered unattractive.

[eeriegeno]

Hmm? I didn’t know that they could build electric motors in an 1,868cc, V-twin configuration?

Pretend every intersection is a death trap, because most are.

A close friend used to ride with that outlook but it didn't do him any good when an oncoming pickup truck made a left turn in the intersection my friend was driving thru.

He slammed head on into the side of the truck and his wife who was with him flew over the truck and landed in the oncoming traffic and was killed immediately. Somehow, my friend survived but had multiple surgeries and is now blind in one eye.....

We have had LOTS of snow in Idaho this Winter. There are large herds of deer and elk coming into the outskirts of Pocatello. There are mountain lions coming down to feed on those elk. My wife sent 3 of her officers to drive a herd east away from I-15 so they wouldn't get hit on the 80 MPH segments they were approaching. The elk are skin and bones for lack of food this Winter.

Best thing about my ‘65 XLCH was, it was a frame, engine, and wheels. It was light and fast.
Personally, I don’t care for baggers, dressers, etc. but to each his own. I like to see them all.

[Red Badger]

Nature Thinning the herds, only the strong survive.................
