AOW

you are truly a wise man. I couldn't agree more. I actually have couple of friends that bought their HD 2yrs before I got mine. They just recently racked up a whole 2k miles on their bike and were proud of themselves. The bike is 4yrs old and has just now turned 2k miles? I put 1500 miles on my bike the first month I owned it. Hell, I just racked up another 1500 miles over this past weekend. Would have been more, but I have rules about being drunk and riding! the airhead Harleys are soon gonna be a thing of the past thanks to the wise EPA, not sure what all those die hard drones are gonna do when that happens. Someone made mention of the vibrations and use of rubber engine mounts, the vibrations are the biggest marketing tool HD has, and their old and faithful followers purchase the bikes for that HD "rumble" The rubber mounts were installed by the moco in hopes of decreasing the other failures caused by the excessive vibes. They then (in 2008 I believe) redesigned the rubber mounts, at the demands of their faithful followers, de-engineered the vibration reducing mounts to allow for more vibrations. They have the capability to produce a great bike and product, but they're just so busy pandering to their airhead faithful. I don't blame them, because it's those drones that spend thousands of dollars a year adding chrome and tassle do dads to pimp their rides. Not to mention that HD makes 70% of their profit on their motor clothes division and not the actual bike. Most of HD's bikes are marginal products at best, but they haven't asked for a bailout yet, so I can't blame them for pandering to the old faithful airheads.

transport company just confirmed they're picking up the bike Friday, so I'm in for tonight!

billybob

keep us posted, I'm going with either the HTC pro or the Palm Pre

30% chance of rain at 7pm, increasing to 60% at 8pm through 10pm I'm in as long as the transport company don't come to pick up the bike today

oh, so why we gotta make it racial?

May 27 bike night weather weather not looking good for tomorrow.

weather not looking good for tomorrow.

If you're riding, pack some rain gear

mmmm might have to bring a keg of "mystery" beer

5-7k/year here in the northeast. I'm sure once I get to CA and can ride for 300 days/year I'll be doing 20k/year easily

yo

CAN I GET AN AMEN!! Alright folks, this next QSL Bike night will more than likely be my last with my bike. The bike gets picked up next week (no definite date given) to be shipped to CA. Would be nice if the masses could show up and roll into QSL together.

I'm a proud parent of several kids.... What's the difference between riding together or going out to lunch or dinner together in the same car? If you want to ride together then ride together, if you need an excuse not to ride use the faithful "woman" problems crap. I equate this to those nutless assholes that get married then cry when their bitch wife (which was their bitch girlfriend), tells them they need to stop riding.

the suction cup mount is incredible. You could pull your plastics off using that thing. Just make sure your plastics and suction cup are C L E A N

As a matter of fact.... YES, I will rep it until it falls off!

shit load of bikes! had a great time. Pretty sweet rolling 100+ deep to QSL, then taking over Hooters! Finally got my OhioRiders stickers.
