ZxHooligan

I went from a zx12r to a brand new street glide. Takes all of 5 miles to get use to the differences in the bikes. Floor boards are awesome. The torque is about the same between my 103 and what the 12 was the bike is just heavier. The cvo has a 110 a little more grunt than the 103. Also it is a fly by wore throttle can be a little touchy at first. Like said when moving around at slow speed the throttle is your friend use it to help you move the bike. I'm in love with my new bike. And I have no clue what ysr is talking about with harley riders I ride mine hard like I stole the damn thing.

I'm with y'all on the zx 14. Look at the gauges. The 14 and busa are the only bikes like that with analog gauges

How did this go from ninjadocs new bike to a gym and cycling thread wth?

This is the last clue. The answer is here and that is all I will say. Well most of it anyway. I'm sure someone will get it.

Well if this is a clue he must have bought good old American iron

I really enjoy haddock and smoked salmon

Sceew that if I want to see a 60 year old woman in a thong I'll just look over the fence at the girl next door. hahaha

Some people pay good money to see that

You do realize what you just said there, right?

I think that's the only time in the history of OR that has ever happened

Now you will have to change your username to SgHooligan

I can't really be a hooligan on an 800 lbs. Bike

Was the zx12 really that bad? My wife is perfectly comfy on the back of the cbr 1100xx for rides less that 6 hours. After 6 hours she gets antsy. one of her first rides with me was the rainy river ride with fonzie.

The truth is she has a bad back which won't let her ride on the back of a sportbike. I have a bad leg which I had to push myself too much to ride the bike. This new bike doesn't make me want to get off and walk around after 50 miles

Congrats on the new 2015 Street Glide and I welcome another pirate to the forum. One word of warring do not let the fiancé get to close to the Harley Motor cloth section at any of the dealers. LOL

Is this advice coming from previous experience? And thank you I just needed something more conducive for my bad knee. I didn't have a problem riding it 100 miles home from the dealer where as the sportbike I'd get 40 miles in and my leg would kill me

Did you tell her that she is now an "Old Lady"?

The correct term is ol' lady I do believe

Yeah still trying to get use to all the weight. I'll get there just takes practice

You made a great choice. You will have a blast running around with your wife with both of you being all nice and comfortable.  Now put together some not too long little trips. Even 2 day trips. Like down to Charleston WV Saturday morning, stay at the dog track/casino..eat hot dogs at Hillbilly Hot Dogs and go home Sunday.

 

PA for the Frank Lloyd Wright house...Falling Waters and swing back through Moundsville WV for the prison tour.

 

Both trips would include nice curvy roads....

I will do that. Charleston is only 2 hours from me. I'm still getting use to having a passenger I've always rode solo until now

congrats, you'll love the street glide.  if you need something powder coated let me know

I will definitely let you know it's the denim flat grey so I think I'm gonna do all the chrome powder coated flat black eventually.

And thanks everyone I've got to go through the motions with the break in period but so far I'm liking the bike. It just calls out ride me. And it puts a bigger smile on my face than my sportbikes ever had.

Well the axe came down on the zx12r yesterday. Walked out of the dealership with a brand new 2015 street glide

After a long thought process I have considered selling my zx12r for a bagger. My fiancé can't ride on the back of my sportbike and really wants to ride with me. Don't get me wrong I love my zx12r. Of the 3 bikes I've owned it's the best one so far. And not because it's a powerhouse but the overall feel. It's comfortable smooth and very nimble for as big as it is. Am I making a mistake or should I keep it and just buy the bagger and have 2 steeds in the stable

I'm out. Boss scheduled his vacation from may 8 to may 18 so I have to stay at the farm for emergency purposes

Here's where we plan to stop and regroup with Cbus area riders, wont hang out too long - probably 20-30 minutes before we head out

 

Eastland Shell Mini Mart

2191 South Hamilton Road

Columbus, OH 43232

Sounds good if all goes according to plan I should be there before 9

As long as things work out I'm in for medium group.

So y'all are having a stop in columbus for some of us to meet up? I am suppose to be off that weekend so I should be able attend this year. Now that I have fixed the harness fixed that a mouse ate

At the same time?

Yep but instead of them making me a sandwich afterwards. I'd have to make them a feast

I'd do them both

I'm in circleville. And I will do that.

Anyone know of anyone that can do a valve check and adjustment on a zx12r besides the dealership

Welcome back, you'll have to make it to the epic ride again this year

when we set a date for that I'll try my damndest to be there. I can't let that 14 be the only hyper there. Plus the 12 loves corners
