  1. So, Trump was under surveillance. http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/22/politics/devin-nunes-trump-communications/index.html
  2. Hell, didn't even consider the Russians were behind the thread jack, but you're probably right.
  3. I blame Obama...no Trump...wait, it was totally the Russians behind this.
  4. I am absolutely not a snob about anything at all...except liquor.
  5. Looking at that make my knees hurt
  6. That was definitely the best Buell. I preferred the 9 over the 12.
  7. EBR/Buell is totally dead. He's a good (not great) engineer, but a terrible businessman. I wonder how many EBRs were actually sold to customers.
  8. I've owned 3 Buells. I mostly liked them. They were quirky and different, but they performed well enough. Selling Buells at HD dealers fit together as well as orange juice and toothpaste. IMO that was the main thing that limited Buell sales. I just don't think sport or performance is a real possibility at HD the way the company is structured. And that's OK, they still sell a ton of motorcycles.
  9. Indian has been out of flat track racing for 60 years. 1st race back and they smoked HD http://www.hotbikeweb.com/indian-ftr750-takes-top-2-in-daytona It's hugely significant to take 1st and 2nd in your first race with a brand new motorcycle and a brand new race team. But as we all know it's not that hard to beat a Harley in a race
  10. Young people read reviews. This bike is going to get killed in reviews and especially in comparisons to bikes like the FZ07, Triumph Street Twin, etc. I mean did they even throw a leg over other bikes in the same segment? Rant over. Like I said...I wanted to like it.
  11. I bought this a few years ago. It's been used very little, less than 10 hours. It has been stored properly. I have the manual for it. It has a Subaru motor. It starts easily and runs like a Subaru. https://www.ridgid.com/us/en/3600-watt-powered-portable-generator They are on Amazon for $850. Pretty sure (IIRC) I paid $600 for it at Home Depot. I'll sell for $400. Possible trade for a glock.
  12. I agree that CB is sexy. HD used the exact same exhaust from the 750 Street Cruiser. Fine for a cruiser, bit totally gets in the way of the standard foot pegs. You're even supposed to rest your foot on the exhaust (read the review)???? For aftermarket parts, you'd need a new, rerouted exhaust and new foot controls. That's pretty expensive to fix an obvious design flaw.
  13. I was looking at the one based on the VRod. It was sold before I could have gotten there.
  14. Maybe, but this is way worse than the riding position on even their own XR1200, which also wasn't a very good bike. Look at a properly executed sporty, standard. See the diffeence
  15. So...I really wanted to like this bike. I wanted to think that HD could get past their form over function mentality and produce a functional fun sporty motorcycle. Meh http://www.motorcycle.com/manufacturer/harley-davidson/2017-harley-davidson-street-rod-first-ride-review.html This looks like the the most uncomfortable standard bike ever. Look how high the pegs are, his knees are as high as the tank. No way I could tolerate that position for a long ride. This had a lot of potential, but HD doesn't seem to "get" riding positions that aren't typical cruiser. IMO It's a swing and a miss. Too bad.
  16. MoP is certainly thier best effort. IMO, that was the end of them being a metal band that earned commercial success. AJFA was the beginning of them becoming a commercial entity that happened to (sometimes)play metal music.
  17. You have the ability to control that. You could also have an interest free loan for 1-12 months, then of course you owe at tax time. I prefer to claim zero allowances then get a big fat return. Some years it's been over $10k.
  18. If I was in the market for a small car I'd be all over an HRV. But I'm not so maybe a second motorcycle.
  19. Enough for a nice used motorcycle.
  20. ^^^Are those yours? I have kinda wanted one of these for a long time. I wound up getting the "Pug," it even came with a Trijicon front site.
  21. It holds 5 rounds of .22 Mag. It disappears into a pocket.
  22. I like this little NAA way more than I should
