Sorry Jim after I bragged about my 13 year old Harley never breaking down my electrical system failed. Looks like I'm down for a while.. catch you later Rick

I'm free any day this week

If i was smart enough to figure out how to PM you my number I would. I live about an hour away from Fishers but can meet up on short notice almost any day My E-Mail is.....

2012 pushing 80 thousand no breakdowns no oil leaks and still not burning oil. But cant claim the same for myself been a tough couple of years. But all is good for now. Got in about 250 miles this week. Heading out tomorrow on a 300 mile run to say goodbye to a old friend. Its getting to common now. Jim maybe we can meet up at Fishers in Peninsula for a beer or coke before the snow flies I imagine you are retired by now. I Heard you bought a land yacht (Goldwing) some were. Let me know if you can meet up. Rick.

Been a while and was wondering what oil I should be using.

Just read an article today that Harley will nolonger manufacture the Sportster model. Kind of surprised it was one of their biggest sellers. It was always to small and tall for my liking. There are thousands of aftermarket parts for this bike so it will be around for a few lifetimes.

I treat mine like I treat my cat 🙀 I call her pretty girl and stroke her belly. Have you ever stroked a cats belly same result. LOL.

I think the biggest difference between a man and a woman is the meaning of (What an Ass) is.

I was comparing it to other Harleys for being top heavy. The Sportster has a very high seat hight compared to other Harleys making it more top heavy. Don't be afraid to go riding with your dad you can set the pace and build his skill set remember you can only be as good as the best rider you ride with.

Sportsters tend to be a little top heavy but make good starter bikes. Also Harley makes bikes with counter balanced engines that have no vibration at all. If we run into each other this summer you can check out my Classic it has the counter balanced engine you will be surprised at how smooth it idles the mirrors do not move at all.

I grew up on Kawasakis still have my 1976 KZ1000. But for everyday riding I prefer my Softail Classic.

I'm heading out to Yellowstone (5 days) in July and hitting the Bad Lands (Overnight)on the way there. Then Mount Rushmore (3days)on the way back. My wife is done riding any distance. I think she was only on the bike 1 time last year. She bitches every time the floor boards hit the ground. She says we are to old for that shit. LMAO.

Here is the GPS pic of that first day we had a 71mph Moving average and a 96 max speed across the plains.

And ya the trip to the dealer was to replace the rear tire that the dumb ass tried to make a trip on that already had 8000 miles on it. But the dealer did loan me a brand new loaded Street Glide for the 4 hours it took to get me on the rack. On trips every Harley dealer will put you to the front of the line on the first rack that opens up. And never have to wait a month to get parts.
