That is a hot ride. I ride a '99 Suzuki SV650. My first bike. Only dropped once. Gotta love NYC taxis.
LOL! True enough!
some of you Ninja folks seem to be under the misguided notion that getting there faster is getting there better?
Like when the young bull and the old bull on the top of the hill surveying the fetching herd of cows down at the bottom, the young bull in his exuberence shouted "lets run down and boink a few" to which the sage bull replied...."Lets walk down and boink them all"
but is you need to rank out V twin, cruiser manics, I am not afraid of a little heat.....so whats the difference between a Harley and a Hoover???.....why the position of the dirt bag.....
there you go....happy motoring....
Hey! - I rode a 3 cylinder Yamaha 750 for 6 years and it was the best bike I ever owned. Shaft drive, with a Windjammer and highway bars - that bike was reliable, and fun! Had to get rid of it in 1990 when I started dragging kids to school on my way to work.
If anyone knows of a good, reasonably priced 750 or 850 cruiser (eg - Honda Magna) in the Houston area, please let me know.
I started with a Yamanah 50 2 cycle scrambler in West Germany in 1970, went to a 1969 Yamaha 200 2 cycle street twin in 1972, a 1973 Honda CD 450 in 1973, back to Yamaha in 1976 with a 360 Enduro, to a very fast, 2 cycle Suzuki T500 twin in 1977.
You must've gotten the good one. All of them I crossed paths with had a habit of frying the center cylinder, and a voracious appetite for camshafts.
With this
El Bruto Series 127 ci 4.25" bore Engines
And probably this
If all that fails to come about, I'll just buy a new TV and rocking chair, cancel my phone and ISP, and rot.
Good plan??
What a misleading title, I was going to talk about a really fine sorrel Quarter horse ...............
Why do all that when you can just buy a full-dresser Road King and accomplish the same goal?
(I couldn't resist....)
Go ahead--it's smoother, more reliable, faster, and of course, costs less than a Harley....
Hell of a bike. Never had a problem with it mechanically...and it's comfortable for cross country riding, too.
Go for it Joe ~ whatever blows yer skirt up. :):):)
Yes, I was just about to bring this up. If you are concidering a 'Tour Style' of motorcycle, I would suggest the Touring bike of the year for 2004 and 2005. The BMW K 1200 LT. If this is your style of riding you might as well go with the best!!
That explains things . . .
Too late. Already have the full dress Electraglide Classic. With close to 90K on the odometer and still doing wheelies!
Just looking for a new project. :-)
Hey,leave my sexual preference out o' this!! ROFL!! :-)
My dad rode his Harley across country and back in 1958, he was 20 at the time. He ran out of money in the state of Indiana and had to get back to western PA. Thank goodness people were nice back then. They took IOU's and he sent them money, some people were just nice and didn't want anything. He still talks about a beautiful indian girl he saw somewhere out west.
Roger that!! Prolly be a nice contrast to the Dresser and an excellent addition to your stable.
I've been leaning towards that '49 Pan knockoff kit from RoadRat Roberts. Two BIG boxes delivered to your driveway. Just add water; makes it's own sauce . . .
Get a Harley. There is no other type. You want a fast one that looks like one of the ricers? Get the newer model VRod (although I've got some questions about that one personally)
Go with the harley. Sure the "crotch rocket" is faster and quicker, but the harley is a lot more stable of a ride. I had a cousin killed on a "crotch rocket" about ten years ago.
