Jake318, you are so right.

I watched a documentary on TV a year or so ago. It wasn't about bike in general but they did point out that if every motorcycle was taken off the road, there would be no "significant" change in our air quality OR any "measurable" difference in our environment.

Back to what I said earlier, if big brother says it, too many people just go along with it.

 

Amen to that.
Nothing is for sure untill 9am on the first day of the Summer Dealer Meeting.

 

Our DM from the moco has already told us this will be the lagest new model roll out ever..........we'll see.

My opinon, the first Waterbagger will be built around the now discontinued FLTR.

 

Sadly, you are right. It's a "macho" thing to have the biggest motor. If you have anything smaller thgan the biggest you're either not a man, or you're too "poor" to afford anything "nicer".

I posed a question to some guys a while back: "If the Dodge Viper had a 400hp V8 and a 500hp V10, would the V8 "base model" be considered a chick car?"

 

ill 2nd that at least im comfertable working on my evos.dont understand the high speed wobble issue.with touring bikes.why you doing high speed cornering on these bikes there not sport bikes.some people bitch about the throttle lag on fl by wire bikes.id call it a good roll on feel.not enough passing power outta a 96"i can go from 60 to 100 loaded with wife on back in the distance it takes to pass a semi.08 rkc for touring hopped up hd evo in my chopper.some day ill get the wife to post pictures.

 

yea couldnt understand why hd couldnt put my bike together the way i wanted it at the factory.instead of at the dealership.i build agg tractors till i become a casualty of this depression next thurs.and thats how its done where i work the customer tells the dealler what they want engine size gps all there othere bells and whistles.then its shipped.to get the tank iwanted would have cost me onother 1100 bucks.not like i picked it off the show room floor.had to wait 3 months for it.

 

come on now this is from the same govement polices that bring us safe drugs through the fda.if they say its safe its safe.and im sure no one got a nice little kick back.

 

Well said my brother...

 

Yeah, well as somebody said in the distant past, there is no replacement for displacement. I for one, enjoy being able to keep up with a minivan when accelerating uphill on a freeway onramp, or a little extra pop when passing or merging onto a superslab.

 

Heck Yeah... when are some people with cojones gonna stand up to all this B S
