  1. Oh they handle better than a dyna or road glide but nowhere near even my old fzr600. Too much rake for that 'look cool in the parking lot' effect, makes it impossible to flick them around...they handle better than they should based on weight due to the low c of g. They handle good for a harley
  2. What really holds hd back is basic design. 45° pushrod 2 valve head motor with knife and fork con rods and a single pin crank. High tech shit....for 1903. And what holds the company back from making a better motor is all the dick heads that insist that this antiquated tractor mill is somehow good. Big Bad v twin power blah blah...Most hd bikes will get stomped by a ninja 300. Pretty fuckin bad ass. I'll never understand the mentality of hd fan boys. It's just bullshit they put up to justify paying tomorrow's prices for yesterday's technology.
  3. Lol....harley makes an ok bike for what it is. People often ask me why I don't just buy a harley. I tell them that I don't want one, that they don't make a bike for me. Their immediate response is either sportster or vrod. I remind them that one is slow and the other handles like a fat chick on a bigwheel. I've ridden several harley bikes, the acceleration of the vrod impressed me but that's about it.
  4. When I had my tl I passed some dick on a harley when the Rd was 2 lanes. He spent the next 5 miles of 1 lane road coming up beside me, revving his shit box motor, just being a dick. Now he had everything in the screaming eagle catalog on his motor and he probably thought it was fast. As soon as it opened back up to 2 lanes I launched on him at the light, bounced 1st off the Rev limiter and power shifted 2nd and was doing 85 on one wheel before I knew it. At the next light he asked me how big my motor was. I pointed to the '1000' on my fairing. He was like 'I have 1340 cc, my bike is faster'. Green light, he does a burnout and tries to launch and I just pass him like he's standing still. For some reason he wanted more but I had proved my point and was at the turnoff for my street. Didn't someone on here smoke a 1200 spotster with a honda 450 a few years back? I seem to recall that happening.
  5. Let me know when you're able to upgrade a console.... and the fact that this thread is about a broken console should tell you something.
  6. Yeah mine just wasn't that jumpy. Stock everything but the cans. I'm fat tho, so that could have helped keep the front end grounded.
  7. The current generation of gaming consoles will likely be the last. That technology is going to die because disk media has been obsolete for some time now. With the widespread access to high speed Internet there is no need for physical software media. When is the last time you bought any software other than a game on physical media? Invest in a gaming pc. Consoles will vanish when people realize they don't do anything any better than a pc, and when the market shifts to 100% downloadable content there will be zero reason to buy an extra piece of equipment. And I don't even game.
  8. Seems like his character is intact. He's taking responsibility while trying to resolve it with the least possible impact to his wallet while still making the other driver whole but is prepared to take the hit and buy her a new replacement. That's respectable. Also, as someone who has a set dollar amount direct deposited every week into a shared account and trusts his sammich maker to just take care of it I can see how the mix up could occur in his situation.
  9. My barrel finally shipped from brownells.
  10. Hmm...I work afternoons....we may have logistical issues here...
  11. I wanna make a few extra bucks out of my garage this year too, tuning, repairs, engine builds etc... been working on bikes this long, may as well get some scratch for it.
  12. Lmao...I see what you did there.
  13. Stoked for this, hope the weather holds up. Can't wait to just get my bike out of storage and into my garage so I can prep her for spring, pull some parts off for powder coat and slap on some new goodies I bought over the winter.
  14. Wasn't law enforcement exempt from the law?
  15. That top speed is also static on a dyno where aerodynamics are a non issue. Thinking real world is closer to 140....If you can hold it on the road.
  16. 7.92 at 180....bandit for the win.
  17. It's pretty common for stunt guys to be worthless on the track.
  18. Handy. Gonna be near massillon any time soon?
