  1. Cruisers are not more comfortable, they just give the illusion that they are. A Standard, sport tourer or an ADV style is typically the bike to go with for long in the seat comfort, and that means especially for long distance comfort. Cruisers are so myopic and are beyond boring IMHO, but maybe they are the right choice for you.

    I guess maybe Trying to think to myself, "If it's good enough for a 60 year old man to sit in for hours on end, I hope i can hold up for it."

  2. I'm not a fan of sports tourers really, and adventure bikes aren't my thing at all. I just want to sit as upright as possible, really. I've been looking at something like a Nightster 1200 with a mustang seat. I don't want a full- dresser or anything, but something where i can get the bars up a bit higher would do wonders for my back i think.

  3. Well a big reason for wanting a Harley is that i want a lot more comfort that comes along with a cruiser. I sat on a guy who i consider my mentor's Fat Bob Lo and i fell in love with it. I wanna do some longer distance touring this summer with some buddies and making that jump to a cruiser has a certain... appeal to it. I am not against something like a Shadow, M109R, Vulcan, or V-star, either.

  4. So i started riding this past spring, and I started out on a 2008 GS500F. I've got a season under my belt, and I feel like it's time to move up and get a new bike. I'd really like to start looking into getting a Harley, but my budget's pretty tight.

    Any suggestions on bikes that i can get for under $7,000 that will work on a 15 minute commute to school as well as a 3 hour ride to my parents' house on the weekends?

    If anyone's interested I'm about 6'1", 230 if that makes a difference.

  5. I read in the news recently about TSA possibly beefing up security (again) because they are concerned that it may be possible to sneak a small handgun through the body scanners at airports. I'd just like to say that when i was flying last march, the body scan picked up a nickel that was in my pocket. A nickel in my pocket that i couldn't feel. If y'all want a full recollection of what happened, just ask. otherwise, any discussion?

  6. College student budget here, Kawi ;)

    i've got some rifled slugs right now but I'm gonna be saving for the barrel (probably next season)

    Today, I made a Gander Mtn. run (the Cabela's isn't open in Columbus yet) because I needed some new bibs, but I got a picatinny mount for the 500. After I got home, I threw on a little sightmark red dot that I had on my AR for a while. Pretty entertaining, but the guy I hunt with has a shotgun scope that I'm gonna have on here shortly.

    Thanks to you guys for the Tactical ideas! Now I've got an idea of what i'm going to do with mine.

  7. I picked one of these up the other day to use as:

    1. A deer gun

    2. Trap

    3. Home defense

    Has anybody had enough experience with these to know whether or not they're truly "modular"?

    It came with a 28" barrel with an improved, modified, and full cylinder. As far as I know, it will fit a standard barrel for a 500. Does anybody know how much a rifled slug barrel will cost me?

    As soon as I either hit the range or go out hunting, I'll try to get a review of my personal opinion up.
