    Sorry for the late reply but I had to go to work.

    Nowhere did I say Harleys were better bikes. What I said was Quote - Those Harleys will still be up and running long after your bikes are dead and buried-. Meaning Harleys get rebuild and restored more than any other bike made. Most metric bike get ridden until they need rebuilt then they are traded in for another bike and then sold to someone just starting out and then traded again for a new bike until they are no longer worth putting the money in to fix and end up in a scrap yard. On the other hand a Harley rider will rebuild his bike 10 times or buy a old POS basket case and put 10X the money in to it to make it his pride and joy. All the reliability and performance the rebuild stuff you guys are talking about they could care less about unless they are talking to another Harley owner. I’m sorry you guys do not get it It’s a Harley thing and unless you catch the bug you will never understand. I do not know how else to explain it. Sorry for the thread hijack I'm done. :)

  2. So you are saying there are no garage queen jap bikes out there? Every brand of bike has riders that will say it’s too cold, too hot, too far, too wet, or just no time. I admit Harleys need more TLC no point in arguing that mine will need rebuilt at the end of this coming summer around 45,000 miles. Any smart Harley rider will have at least have the nylon chain tensioner replaced before 50.000 miles with a steel roller gear. After my first rebuild it should get well over 120,000 miles before it will need a total rebuild done.  My 2003 had over 88,000 on it when it was killed by a young girl on a cell phone. It’s all about preventative maintenance. Take care of it it will take care of you.

  3. Craigslist needs a check box to eliminate all the Harleys from the motorcycle section. Can't find anything good when it is buried under all that junk.

    The problem here is 90% of those Harleys will still be up and running long after your bikes are dead and buried

  4. My youngest son built a 99 grand -am with a custom body kit bright red with white tribal art paint job The engine put out about 8oo hp and the back only license plate was V8KILR he was pulled over 32 times the first summer and never got a ticket he kept a log book and tried to get every cop that pulled him over to sign it. The day the paint job was done he had to work so he asked me to pick it up on the way home a cop turned around and followed me all the way to the restraint we were having dinner at the car had black out windows and he was surprised when I got out of the car.

  5. You can thank El Nino for the weather in Ohio this year

    El Niño

    El Niño means The Little Boy, or Christ Child in Spanish. El Niño was originally recognized by fishermen off the coast of South America in the 1600s, with the appearance of unusually warm water in the Pacific Ocean. The name was chosen based on the time of year (around December) during which these warm waters events tended to occur.

    The term El Niño refers to the large-scale ocean-atmosphere climate interaction linked to a periodic warming in sea surface temperatures across the central and east-central Equatorial Pacific.

    Typical El Niño effects are likely to develop over North America during the upcoming winter season. Those include warmer-than-average temperatures over western and central Canada, and over the western and northern United States. Wetter-than-average conditions are likely over portions of the U.S. Gulf Coast and Florida, while drier-than-average conditions can be expected in the Ohio Valley and the Pacific Northwest. The presence of El Niño can significantly influence weather patterns, ocean conditions, and marine fisheries across large portions of the globe for an extended period of time.

  6. Nice seeing you today Jim.

    Some how when I set up my GoPro today I set it to super slow motion and I mean Really SLOW  You can actually count every spoke on my front wheel even at 50mph I have the whole ride I just need to figure out how to get it back to normal speed I hope its not the last ride for the year for me I will be working everyday for the next 16 days so if it is What a great way to end the year
