Relatively quiet?? What V&H do you have - straight stacks?

That bike is a 160 HP rocket ship. I hope you're joking about the learning part Bill. That bike can go from 0-Big Trouble in an instant. I would love to own one.

PS - tell him to get a real helmet. That is not appropriate for that bike.

unfortunately I m not. He dumped it my back yard. Trying a slow turn around in grass yet to be mowed. Really slow turn but yeah he’s been on a hurricane before and gpz before that. So he has been on them. But that was pert near thirty years ago. So yeah there’s a learning curve to be had. I told him before we left. Your ride your speed if you need a clue it’s slow !! Whether he listens time will tell.

Short shots. I liked em but they couldn't support the 124". I was surprised at how quiet the fatcat was in comparison.
