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.

It didn’t seem top heavy just flinging it around standing over it. The Kawasaki Concours, that was top heavy. At speed that Kaw could chew up some asphalt though. Man I miss that bike. 

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.

My dad just bought a Sportster 1200. It was delivered to his house Saturday. 1st Harley I ever sat on. It felt surprisingly light. I only sat on it and started it. I could only laugh as it sat there shaking and vibrating under my butt. Not for me, but he’s excited. No he won’t be riding it with me. I’m scared enough for him to be back on 2 wheels. I don’t need to have him trying to follow me and my antics. 

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.

Harleys are awesome bikes if you've never ridden anything else. 

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.

Ok my softail is a 2012 pushing 80,000 miles the only problem was the only rubber hose on the bike started leaking and had to be replace. Not knowing Harleys you picked oe of the most top heavy bike Harley makes. Try a FLSTC. next time if you ever want to rent one again. I ride with a lot of Harley riders and reliability has not been a problem in 20 years. Power wise they get up to the speed limit and have enough power to pass with out any problems. Granted my softail will only do 137mph. But there is not much opportunity around here for that.

This place seems to have past. I remember some good heated discussions before I took a health break. Just trying to get things fired up again. What a better way to do it then saying  Harleys are the greatest bike ever made.

Something to think about.
In nature animals and insects with a brightly multi colored appearance are a warning to other insects and animals that they are poisonous and toxic/deadly and to stay as far away as possible.
Many of you young guys might want to consider this in your search for a future girlfriend.  
Just a little unsolicited advice from an old guy.

Just wondering how much faith everyone has left in the human race?

Me: I look both ways in a roundabout.

They have been temporarily overwhelmed with orders so they are not taking any orders right now.

I have bought from them in the past and have not had any misfires.

Might want to keep them in mind.

It was alot more fun being 20 in the 70s then it is being 70 in the 20s. 

If you date a woman that has a warrant out on her you never have to worry about her calling the cops on you. (Check back for more tips)

Been away for a while. Finally retired for good. For now. I'm still riding the same bikes. Hope to meet up with everybody again this summer.

I do not have a problem wearing a mask but the truth is 99% of the masks people wear work about as well as your underwear do stopping a fart.

Ask any retail employee how many in their store have gotten the virus. Maybe retailers all just immune. LMAO. After all we were the original sacrificial ones.

I work retail we have 150 employees per store 10 stores in my district over 20,000 customers a week per store. Over 4 months now not a single employee has gotten sick. Real world FACTS.
