I loved my little 50cc Ducati pit bike. Put a 19mm carb on it, a different set of weights, a Malossi 70cc kit and ignition, and could out accelerate just about any car out of a light and top off at 67mph. Chicks dig small bikes.

I think Harley's goal was to avoid taxes at all costs. In addition to the $120 million write down to shutter Buell, it took another $162.6 million write down with the purchase and operational upgrades to MV Augusta. This, and they put another $20 million in operational funds in an escrow account to be used in the first year with the Castiglioni Brothers again. All for a repurchase price under the cost of a Guinness. http://blogs.wsj.com/drivers-seat/2010/08/10/did-harley-davidson-have-to-pay-buyer-to-unload-its-sport-bike-unit/ It's going to take a lot of T-Shirts and orange and black suspenders to undo those epic fuck ups. Keith, you idiot.

Reacharound too?

Really would like to forward the thread to the folks at HD. We were it's demographic. Only not the ones it wanted to focus on anymore.

I'm amazed at how quickly things went ghey! I clicked another link or two, and after a few minutes or so Yota's scored teh interwebz orgies...

Like the way you work it... Do it right for some serious man-love x3.

Banks has done several of my cars for me. Great guy, and cash does talk. So does Budweiser, if I remember...

Rapin' errbody!

And though my V-Max on my bike registered 168mph, that didn't take into account the Aprilia's 168% speedometer discrepancy on the high speed run my friend took on my bike. Now what was his name???

Bombardier is part of the group that makes Rotax engines. It would have been a perfect fit. Aside from the wankers in HD of course....

I had a few Triumphs over the years too, and liked each of them (as I liked my Harleys when I had them). I was liking the torque at idle the same as the Vrod at redline.... Guess I'll have to test one out myself.

There's more... http://www.theindychannel.com/news/24583504/detail.html First reports said nothing of a drunk on duty police officer plowing into motorcyclists stopped at a light.

That's bad when former HD customers have that opinion. My first bike was a Harley, and the bike that made me love sport bikes was a Harley. V-rod for a Triumph Rocket III, and feel what a cruiser with balls is all about...

Happy Hour next door. $2.00 Draft Guinness, and Tuesday has $2.00 PBR's all day. Think I might have to live large today with a $10 bartab...

I Lol'd!

As it stands, I'm a British national, and I broke my front tooth yesterday, so I really do look the part...

08.09.10. Mark the date... I made Jbot cringe.

Church girls can get freaky. Yup.

Yeah, as a former Buell owner, and a fan of the direction they were going towards the end, I give a hearty Fuck You to the folks at Harley. Keith Wandell should be raped by a syphilitic porcupine with elephantitis of the penis.

Hooray for cleaning glitter out of my ears in the morning!

I saw that bike. My daughter told me she'd be willing to get that one.

Bloated underperformers! http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2010/Aug/100806d.htm
