Guest Rick-rat Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I saw two "small" people (both abut 3 feet tall) walking around in a store with their full "Harley Garb" on, some tats, kinda scruffy looking I thought yeah right. Then when I went outside I saw them getting on their Harley trike and taking off 2 Quote Link to comment

RatVonDude Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I love my gixer, HOWEVER there is something soothing and comfy about sitting upright on a fat hog and cruising through the country. I was just joking for the most part. I am okay with the bmw deal, would prefer they were motorcycles rather than cars, but whatever. What really left the taste of shit in my mouth was the "outfits". You know, the full village people attire and having to wear something that says Harley on it every where you go, so everyone knows how cool you are.I ride for only myself too. I have a few bikes mostly dual sports but, I really dig my fxr, can't even give you a good reason why. What year is your FXR? Quote Link to comment
smoke Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I guess I'm going to call it an 87. I built it from a bunch of parts, but the frame head is from an 87. Honestly, you would be pretty hard pressed to findan an actual Harley part on it. Quote Link to comment
captaingamez Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 for long rides I like the original Hayabusas. So much awesome for highway cruising. And as wierd as this sounds, I love Goldwings, those things are so nice, but at my age I would prefer an ST1300 for touring. I feel like you gotta be kind of old to ride a Goldwing.

Guest Rick-rat Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Would you guys laugh at me if you saw me riding a Goldwing with the automatic landing gear? I am kinda old so I guess a Goldwing would be OK Quote Link to comment

Honestly, you would be pretty hard pressed to findan an actual Harley part on it. Thats ok! Is that what they call a shovelhead? 87 is a totally different Harley. There is an interesting documentary on youtube about a biker gang called the Pegans, sounds kinda like their kinda bike, Quote Link to comment

smoke Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Na, an 87 would be a few years into the evo style engine. But my engine is a mix of oddball parts, still evo style though. For what it is, it runs pretty strong, I ran a 10.11 on a street tire at woodburn last summer. Not really an "oh my god" number for a bike, but not shabby for a floor sweep v twin.

smoke Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Ya know, I had one of those bikes and my memory may be a little fuzzy, but I am almost sure that it fired on all cylinders when it was brand new "out of the crate". Quote Link to comment

jrock4224 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 i like how he does hot laps in his yard while either the chokes on or its stuck on high idle.. and im not suprised most of his neighbors have the axles removed from thee houses and skirting on..... after all its daytona bike week right Quote Link to comment
RatVonDude Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Thats def not the original tach for an 86, sounds like something blew when he was coming back from his burn out. I almost bought a 74 BMW from a guy like this. The worst thing......... test driving a car with an owner who has about a 1/4 gallon of cheap, sports cologne on, smelled like a Russian High School prom. Luckily the thing crapped out in the Wells Fargo parking lot. 1 Quote Link to comment
smoke Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 It's not broke in yet, they like a lot of choke when they are that fresh. Quote Link to comment
