Gravitymaster 0 #51 November 6, 2003 I just bought a Fatboy and have been cruising the hell out of it. Did about $3000.00 in upgrades so far including a chrome swing arm, headlight trim ring and Screamin Eagle Pipes etc. Best advice I can give is to ride like every Mutha F*ckn cager is out to kill you.... Because they are. Riding a MC is much more dangerous than skydiving IMO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samanthashows 0 #52 November 6, 2003 I learned to ride a motorcycle when I was married and he taught me how to ride... He was just fine teaching me because he wanted me to know what I was doing because he wanted me to be safe... It just depends on how well you get along...Samantha Weaver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firediver 0 #53 November 6, 2003 Take a look at Kawasaki Vulcans. If you want a cruiser, it looks like a harley, sounds like a harley, but doesn't ride like a wheelbarrow on a washboard and doesn't need to have a mechanic follow in a pickup to make sure you make it home.... Skydiving isn't scary;...but clowns...CLOWNS are scary! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikemc 0 #54 November 6, 2003 Quoteit's all about the ........or the GSX-R 750 or 1000 i dont disagree with that. Quotea pussy at the same time sounds like fighting talk to me! The minger 9 has a rep of being a posers bike here, people with big kajulees ride blades if they want a 900 and power. To the harley fans, fine you if like that sort of thing. Sitting in traffic and cornering at 10mph defeats the object of riding a motorcycle for me. I suppose if you have hundreds of miles of quiet open roads then they work, but the winding country roads of the UK are built for the sports machines of this world.

OATSF14 0 #55 November 7, 2003 Here's the problem with Harleys...Lot's of noise but they don't go anywhere. You hear this god awful noise, turn your head to see, and 3 minutes later they are finally a mile away. Lot's of noise for people who do not want the speed. Old man's bike. Rice rockets being cookie cutters? Please....Harley riders all dress alike, and they all wear their little head condoms. Harleys are fine but please let's not confuse a fine high powered leading edge motorcycle, (that would be the crotch rockets) with an overpriced boat anchor that can barely get out of its own way. (that would be the Harley). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GARYC24 3 #56 November 7, 2003 QuoteI don't care if you all think this is a girls bike or not. It's my bike and it's a great bike to learn on... I don't see a "snatch patch" so it doesn't look like a girl bike to me. I would like to have a "nighthawk" or a Honda Shadow.!
