I'd like to see 1/4 mile times for the liquid cooled HD 750 vs. HD big twins. I'll bet the begginner bike nearly as "fast," probably "faster" with some basic mods.
Can you describe odd? After takeup mine breaks pretty cleanly in SA. DA is light, but a little gritty feeling. Not the best trigger I've felt, but good enough to shoot accruately.
There are tons of cool old bikes, I just need to remind myself not to buy them. I am only afraid of the old tech when I'm riding hundreds of miles from home in Buttplug, WV. Usually the louder the banjos, the better the riding.
Most of the used GW's I've seen have a shit ton of miles on them. So people must like them enough to actually be riding them. If I had to choose between a Hog and a Wing...I'd get an FJR.
I like the plastic sheds. They are pretty much zero maintenance. You can build the base with $100 in pressure treated lumber or concrete. If you do the wood base the whole project should take less than 4 hours. I am probably getting one of these this summer http://www.homedepot.com/p/Suncast-Sutton-7-ft-3-in-x-7-ft-4-5-in-Resin-Storage-Shed-BMS7791/203702042
