Yeah, I'm another one of the slow down riders out to enjoy the day. Besides, these lake roads are not designed for speeds much over 55 anyways.

Yeah I don't know what the worry about everyone else is. If another bike comes up to me and wants to pass I move to the right and wave them pass...go on about my business and never think about them again.

Do that s$#t around other people (especially me and mine) and I take it personal.

If you have the speed bug (and I did at one time in my life), take it to the track where you can learn something and REALLY fly.


Why haul ***, especially in traffic, with a friend or group...?

If i wanna haul *** i ride alone or with a single friend with the purpose of going out to 'open em up' on some long, straight... lightly traveled roads that are fairly new and free of potholes. Ride with a few different ppl occasionally and all have different 'styles' but none do more than say 75-80 when out riding normally.

Harley's are 'cruisers' so f'kin cruise.

I know everytime i push the button it starts, wont have stuff fall off of it, etc. so to me it is more valuable. I pretty sure i wont be stranded on it. "worth", the harley is great to cruise around town, and make short trips, as long as i dont ride much farther than i feel like walkng at any given time. LOL. might **** off some, but its been my experience. I work on these things daily, and everyone i know rides rice or even a new triumph for daily riding duties.
Why did you get an H-D?

I think I remember doing 130 on a luggage cart in Effingham after drinking some of that great stuff you make Fred.

How have you been?

When you're goin' that fast you A) Can't enjoy the scenery, and B) people can't see how righteous you are. I'll take slow & easy anyday.
Thanks dickey i needed that laugh.
