(ok I'll say it..WHOSE THIS DRAINPLUG PHUCKER?) sorry. I already know who the stables around here are. The people you can count on just being what it is...good advice, etc.
I frequent places that your Grandmother isn't safe. I come here for camaraderie..sharing the same experience.
No, I don't need a *****'in hug. I just expect more from this place, that's all.

No, the British bike's triump, bsa, aerial were still king(both street and track) back in the day of the K models.
I owned a 51 triump 650 thunderbird in 55.
We were called "limey riders, and laughed at the slow heavy HD's .
Now ya made me feel bad about my signature saying "sportie"
I will change that asap
"In 1952, the predecessor to the Sportster was the first Harley-Davidson to utilize a hand clutch, foot-pedal gear shift and rear suspension. The Harley-Davidson K model also featured the company’s first unit construction engine (engine cases and transmission cases cast as one piece). The 45-cubic-inch engine, however, was still a side-valve design and couldn’t compete with the lighter and faster British imports. In 1953 Harley increased displacement to 54 cu. in. (883cc) to create the KH model, then in 1955 H-D included a Speed Kit comprised of hotter cams, polished ports and a roller-bearing bottom end. The K models never set any speed records but they were lighter, flashier and faster than Harley’s big Twins and laid the groundwork for one of the longest running models in American motorcycle history."

If there was an option this forum doesn't have that others I frequent do, it's the "block" option. Using this option people you don't care for take up as much of your forum experience as they do in your everyday life....nothing.
