<br /><br />(Sorry I'm English, it's part of our culture to have a dig at the Harley)
Must not have been as good as this 45 inch bike. I built this one outta scrap parts in the shop. <br /><br />RPJS it even has a trumpet part or two on itOriginally posted by JB:<br /> Hahaha!! Yup, you did get this one.
Wish I would have kept it.<br /><br />Scrapper I prefer to ride alone.<br /><br />
<br /><br />Flathead, that bike looks wild. 45 inch power with '70's Bonnie wheels and brakes, stopping distance about 2 miles
AHH!! You noticed that stock hub and brake laced to the 21 inch wheelOriginally posted by RPJS:<br /> Scrapper, chill out a bit. No ones got their horns out were just having a bit of fun.
That was a case and a half of beer job right there, pulled my hair out on that one. <br /><br />Depends on how soon you put your feet down and how thick the sole on your boot. ROTFLMAO.<br /><br />I have to agree with scrapper on the "my dog/your dog" bit.<br /><br />But, I've seen guys vehemently defend and praise their American Harley and get in a Tundra to drive home.
WTF? Not much in the way of THOUGHT processes goin on under those hats.Hahahaha, I love hearing this myth. I have 53,000 miles on my bike, and I've done nothing but change the oil. It's actually up a few HP compared to the testing at 5,000 miles. I've done 3200 in a four-day weekend, and had it to 182.7 MPH as indicated by GPS. Pretty versatile.<br /><br />
And your point DJ?? I love American V twins. Wouldn't trade em for nothing. For one thing I have always made money on every one I sold. I like to get inside em and see what makes them tick.<br /><br />I get into a Tacoma and drive home every day? Is the fact that I drive a jap truck supposed to make me like the Jap bikes?? I don't get it? I guess I have a flaw in my thought process. Does that mean if you drive a ford you have to ride a Harley?? Please enlighten me.Originally posted by DJ:<br />ROTFLMAO.<br /><br />I have to agree with scrapper on the "my dog/your dog" bit.<br /><br />But, I've seen guys vehemently defend and praise their American Harley and get in a Tundra to drive home.
I never bust anyone for riding a Jap bike. As a matter of fact I have more respect for the rice riders than 90% of the clowns on Harley these days.<br /><br />Swampnut. 182 MPH, fast way to go to your grave Would rather do 50 MPH on my American P.O.S.Or to San Diego. Actually I'm not sure I was making time at that speed since the MPG was so horrible. With the cruise set at 145 it's reasonable at least, and still quick.<br /><br />I drive an American truck and a Jap bike, guess we're even?
Don't know where you got this idea, but it's yet another of the common myths that the cruiser fanatics like to abuse. I can't ride a cruiser because it just kills my back. I've tried a Road King as well as a couple of metric cruisers, and can't take more than about 30 minutes before my back is killing me from putting all the pressure on my spine. I have done a lot of 1000 mile days and 3000 mile weekends on mine, couldn't do that on a cruiser.
