Missed the issue with Susan, hope she'll be ok.

Lot easier on a BMW, ain't it? I like driveshafts, have had a couple of them; pulling my Honda Sabre's rear wheel is downright easy. I know they're heavier, and rob a bit of power, but I wouldn't mind a shaft drive Harley.

 

A 130 mile range is about 100 miles more than the average HD rider rides in a day, so that should not be a problem.

 

And, the electric bikes will make great bar hoppers. The coppers won't hear them blipping' the throttle and such when leaving the bar. Stealth bike!

 

Somebody must've made a boo boo, an electric Harley thread from yesterday ain't there no more. Some of them folks on the other side ain't as well behaved as we are.

 

Finally, a valid argument for electric!

 

Unfortunately, many of the guys who ride to bars have the loudest bikes and have not figured out stealth tactics.

I drove a Pinto for over 8 years. It was the finest stealth vehicle ever created. Nobody, and I mean nobody, ever noticed me going by.

 

I had a Pinto! Don't know why folks bad mouthed em so much, was a real fun car. Thing could corner unbelieveably, but what I really liked about it was doing smoky launches away from other Pintos; the look on their faces at the next light was hilarious. Stayed even with a Sunbeam Tiger up to about 60 once, and those were no slouch. And no, it wasn't even close to stock...

 

Mine was almost as stock as it could be. I bought it new in '76, $3600, and it didn't even come with a hole for an antenna. When I put my stereo in, I drilled a hole in the center of the trunk lid and mounted a shorty antenna there. That was during my "lots of things I was doing were not legal" days, and it was great to slip around unnoticed. Heck, I even kept the cheap, little hub caps on it. Regardless, it was very dependable, it never broke down, and relatively fun to drive. Got great gas mileage, too. I sure took a lot of crap from my friends, though!

 

Checkin' in......maybe on those 'lektrikal Harleys, they could put dual megaphone loudspeakers on in place of mufflers with a sound system. Then ya can download different exhaust sounds from iTunes. Think I should call MOCO and suggest it?

 

Moldie a stretchy tv hose expands when you turn on the water & how did you use an umbrella that was in a van at the neighbors? lol
