AD Farrow at Northstar had about 30 of them when I was there last week. I know they are for Rider's Edge, but I think I saw tags on a few of them, give them a call.

Terrible. I'm a two minute man.

Glad to hear you have some experience. Now I have confidence you know that just because it is a cast vinyl specific for wraps, it will not go down like magic. I use similiar 3M products almost everyday(mainly IJ180CV3, 3M's top of the line wrap material), and I've been doing this for 10 years. I mostly do design now, but my vinyl skills are still pretty good. If you need any tips or help, hit me up.

Do you have anyone at your shop that has ever done anything like this? If not, plan on a long learning curve and lots of wasted material. Wraps(at least ones that look good) are not easy to do. Trying to wrap a compound curve on a bike tank is like humping a fat girl; you do it if you have to, but it may not be pretty. Now if you have someone who knows what they are doing, it could be cool. But do not underbid these jobs. We won't even do wraps, there is little money in them unless it is your specialty and all that you do.

Welcome. Orient, huh? Timberlake?

It's spring, new bike, I'll need crap. I'll be by to annoy you I'm sure. Sounds like fun, always seems like everyone there really enjoys working there. When I took the Honda in for a few things, the guys in service took great care of me. With you there, they can only get better.

Nice. Great response to all of us internet safety pundits.

I never meant that you He was strapped to you, but I thought he had a bungie with two handles that wrapped around you that he held onto just to extend his grip. Wasn't attached to either of you. Did I make that up or see it somewhere else? Something like this: http://pitposse.com/ourapabeha.html

Cool, I'll be there.

Welcome. It's okay to ride with the sporties. There are few crusier guys here, I'm sure you know if you have been lurking that long.

I know VrodDave rides Bailey around, Bailey is a bit older though. He wears full gear, and has a strap he holds onto that wraps around Dave. May want to ask him, I'm sure Fonzie knows what is going on as well like he said above. I would wait at least until next season to put him on the the bike with you though. Give him another year to grow a bit and get some experience under your belt too. An adult passenger understands the risks and usually can obey the safely regulations given to them by the driver. Not that your child wouldn't follow your rules, but a four old can easily daydream, and it could only take a second of him not being alert for something to happen. I dunno though, the closest I have to a child is my mini wiener dog. I don't let him ride with me. He doesn't hold on very well.

Been riding it for a new days now, I only get happier with the purchase. I'm telling you guys that hate on on HD so much, go ride a newer one before you judge it. I am surprised at the level of comfort and the smoothness of the ride. This bike makes riding my Shadow feel it is a dirt bike on a trail. Thanks!(to you and everyone else with something nice to say). Me too. Exactly why it called to me and I why I bought it. Already started personalizing it. Not going to do too much, but I will start making it mine slowly. Still breaking it in, but it has a little bit of giddyup. I'm not a fast rider anyway, but it has some pick up. Alright, I'll be you test subject. For sure. Mid April? Barely rode today, had a bunch of errands, showings that I had to take my dog out of the house for, and spent the afternoon rewiring lighting on the HD. Didn't see your VM until late. Can't wait to see the Z. Yeah, should be interesting. Oh well. Next time we see a large pack, I'll lead and then all the sport bikes can zip by and really confuse the fuck out of em.

So where da pics?

I wave most of the time, hell even to scooters. I usually don't wave first though, I get bored with it. It must be early in the season though, no one has been waving yet. I was on the HD and was even getting snubbed by other HD's and cruisers. I've got a few nods, but that's about it. No one likes me anymore.

I've been out on a few short rides this week, want to get through break in period on the new bike. Took the Honda out for a good spin last week.

Well, shit, Fonz's hotness has the whole thing covered for you.

Well, hell yeah. I'll get some good pics of the new bike and send them to you.

Condolences and best wishes to the friends and family of a man who dedicated his life to protecting others.

I would never get anything I was ashamed of. I love all bikes, each has their own personality, just like all of us, that's why we buy the bikes we do. If you are ashamed to ride what you have, sell it and buy what you want or just stay home. I just know there are few fanboys on here that will jeer other bikes with no justification and judge the person riding them, especially Harleys, hence the title. I grew up in a rural area, I still have some redneck in me. I like Ford Trucks(I even like Chevy's and Dodge too), and some other hillbilly stuff. I'm drawn to Harley bikes for some reason, not their marketing, not the gear, the bikes just look and ride in the style that I enjoy. Growing up my dad had some Kawi and Honda cruisers, and I thought they were the coolest thing. He always wanted a Harley, could never afford it then. Now that he can, his vision is so bad he is unable to ride. I'm doing enough for both of us.

Sure, but then you have to take me for a ride on yours too.

Very nice. You should have a blast with this. This was actually one of the bikes I thought about buying, believe it or not. This and a Streetfighter. I sat on them at the Cleveland show and loved 'em. If I ever go sporty, will probably be a Duc. Maybe when I get rich like you and can buy new bikes once a month......

Pretty much. Only with you. Okay, maybe Howard. and Jagr. Thanks for dredging that up too, BTW. See, I love the black rims. One of the main reasons I went with this instead of the Fat Bob. Cast 5 point wheels would be okay, but I will not have spokes again. Too much cleaning, and I had some issues getting them trued. 100% okay now, potential Shadow buyers.
