I love the style of the bike ! would like to hear what that bad boy sounds like!

Totally agree, good bike great sound and really good as a urban crawler. Anything more then 4 hours spent on it would put me in a crazy house. i actually had to put a Corbin seat on mine to extend ride times. Still a good budget Harley

Would have totally upgraded to a Street Glide this year or the new Road Glide, I love the improvements that they made to the bikes but can't justify the payment right now. Great bikes though !

That's pretty sweet, i would totally wear this.

Also a PC gamer and i'm in !!!!! https://www.kickstarter.com/

Just wanted to spread the word, Cycle Gear is having a great sale right now on riding gear and accessories, I just stopped in their North Olmsted store and bought a nice summer leather jacket with all the padding (removable) on closeout for $99 (reg. $299) along with some really nice gloves for $20. They have some great deals on helmets and helmets with Bluetooth, I may have to go count my pennies and head back up there to score a new helmet. http://www.cyclegear.com/

I have a little different take on this, I have always rode some type of sport bike and a couple of years ago I decided that I wanted to try a cruiser and bought my first Harley, 2007 Nightster (1200) it's a Sportster that sits lower to the ground and blacked out. My opinion is this, I found riding the Harley around was a much different experience then the sport bikes, I’m going to go with the cliché of it’s not just a motorcycle it’s a lifestyle. I can say that almost everywhere I rode I found myself having conversations with other Harley riders about bikes, places to ride and whatever else we wanted to have a conversation about. That being said, I will say that the Nightster cannot be the only bike I own due to the rough ride and fuel range on a full tank (due to the 3.3gal tank). I think the bike is great for sticking within a 2- 3 hour radius from home base, anything more than that and it really starts to wear me out. I’m 5,11” and 170lbs (ish) and the bike fits me pretty well. The 1200 has plenty of power as long as you look at a 2007 or newer, all these bikes would be fuel injected which makes a huge difference in dealing with the power band (of course this is an obvious statement), but have heard non-fuel injected Sportsters are just dogs. My buddy rides a YZF600r and the Harley can surely hold its own when going out for a jaunt. There are plenty of guys riding Sportsters these days (Hilarious pic Progrmr), I think that they kind of had a bad rap of being chick bikes but I think it really has turned around with this being noticeable when going to any Harley dealership bike event. Also Harley dealerships have something going on almost every weekend even in the winter, which is nice to go hang out and do a sort of mingling amongst fellow riders. Would I buy another Harley? Absolutely Would it be a sportster? I would personally look at a bigger bike, but it was in my budget and don’t have any regrets. I would evaluate your riding style and what you want to get out of a ride, and will say if you want to buy a Sportster go ahead and do it, I don’t think you’ll be sorry.

Thanks CBBaron, I do have most of that stuff already. Now all i have to do is talk myself into it lol ! I found myself in one of those You Tube video loops for about an hour an half last night watching snow biking, Funny how there is always one more video that i want to watch.

Thats Hilarious !!!! I get that, i almost traded it in on a Street Glide but could not justify the payment, for the same cost I can get a new truck. It's still fun to ride and i satisfy urges for upgrading when i can rip down a country road and and listen to the unmistakable sound a Harley makes. good times !

Nice Bikes ! would surely be up for a OR ride. I've been wanting to try riding in the snow, i know Century Cycles in Peninsula rents "snow bikes" and was thinking of giving it a go but afraid i don't have the proper winter gear for it and don't want to spend alot out of pocket to find out that i dont like it. Looks like a hoot though

Sorry, was managing my gallery and deleted photos. re-post..

Nice Bike ! Spring is on its way !! Well.. maybe not this week.. but soon..

Thats a great road bike !! My cousin rides a Trek road bike and i'm very jealous in how it performs. I ride a hybrid Cross 300, a little bit best of both worlds. i lock out the forks when riding on the road with my cousin, or hammer some metro park trails.

Thanks Everyone ! I appreciate the warm welcome

Nice to see that there are some cyclist on this site as well, I am a cyclist myself and have spent many weekends exploring bike trails. Do you guys also get together for cycling trips? Do you guys ride road bikes, hybrids or mountain bikes or all of the above?
