First rumor I heard was around 1995, and it was that Mario Andretti was buying it. Plethora of rumors since then. Don't believe it til it happens.

Radiator repair shop. If they are just pin holes, the red coating should fill them. I forget what the coating is called, but its translucent red, kind of like candied apples. They dip the tank, etch the inside, then put the coating in and swish it around. It then needs to harden/ cure.

MarkB, My apologies if you took offense to my post. I wasn't intending to bash you. Enjoy the bike. I was having some fun and venting some general frustrations. No ill intent was meant. Jeff

And again, Tonik finds a way to jack a thread with some braggadocios gloating input. I don't dislike HD's, nor their riders. I've found that there are some stereotypes about them, just like every other genre of bike/ rider. Just my personal experience. I ride a "cruiser", but don't find that it is better at slow speeds. FWIW, I don't like riding in groups in general.

Yeah, probably so. I'm not a "group ride" guy, and I'm officially "out" of the ride if the organizer/ leader is on a Harley. EVERY time I've tried it I've ended up frustrated. Granted, sportbikers and dual sporters have their own "characteristics", too. IMHO, dualies still like the speed and curves but are sensible.

Although if can act like a dog but not poop, then it may be okay.

I swear that people behind the wheel are getting stupider. I'm so sick of the texters while driving. Doing 15mph under the speed limit in the far left lane of the highway, weaving around cluelessly. If I were an LEO I'd be all over that. And nobody seems to heed "slow traffic keep right" anymore. GET OUT OF THE FAST LANE. And on and on.

Funner to flog a little bike than underutilize a bigger bike. Nice bike. Congratulations.

Its a HD, so you are obligated to ride at 10mph under the speed limit, especially on two-lane roads with no passing zones in sight, so you get a loooong line of cars behind you. If they try to pass, you speed up. If they slow down to get back in line, you slow down, too. Ohhhh, and make sure to wave at everyone on a cruiser, but face forward and no response to anything that even remotely resembles a dual sport/ sportbike/ non-HD. Enjoy.

Thats awesome.

I would do it if I could. Honestly. If I could ride wheelies I'd have lost my license long ago for a very long time. A few times.

I don't look for you anymore. Thought you lived in Blanchester or somewhere like that. You back up here?

Springboro: Rode into town today to check the mailbox. All of two miles (maybe). No helmet. No gear. Phhhhhhthttt. And saw a crotch rocket rider rolling ATGATT (maybe not all the time, but THIS time). Wondered if he was on OR.

This. If I've been "in an industry" for 3-5 years, I sure better be out from behind the parts counter.

Me neither. It was totally pointless.

LOL. You printing T-shirts for the march on the capital? Oh wait, most of us have to work. NM.

I was gonna post that this news article makes me want to start SOA from the beginning. Lets put five biker gangs in the same room and see what happens.

Freedom to ride what you want, as fast as you want, wearing what you want. Helmet, no helmet, or helmet strapped to the back of the bike. You wanna ride ATGATT, good for you. Let's have laws telling you that you can't do that. Get off his ass. We already have too many rules and laws. Nice bike.. very nice. Congratulations.
