Some people

Are just to damn spoiled. My dad just wend out and got himself a 2006 Harley. This thing has CB, Intercom, CD Stereo, GPS. I am sure there are some other things that it has but I just don't know yet... I will get some better pics later.

IMO... Sissy bike. CD? Stereo?? If you want all that luggage / trunk space shoulda bought a car.

But to each his own... That's what he wanted, glad he could do it.

Tell him to keep it right side up.

I agree, if I get one I want a buell

I like those. I'm also partial to the Triumph Triple Speed, and of course R1's ZX-10's, CBR900RR and the other kick-ass sport bikes. I'd love to get a Duke, but uh, now you're talking money brother. I ALSO like that guy Matt (forget his last name) on the biker build off, did that blue chopper with the skull for the suicide shifter handle. That was one BADASS bike!

I am not sure what bike your talking about, If I get a bike its going to be a Buell.

Buells are nice, but for the money... there's a lot more out there.

lol...hes not exactly roughing it with all that storage space is he

Eh, the old guys always go for the big bikes. My dad has a Ultra Classic.

My gf's dad is on the research and development team at Harley and he gets to test all kinds of stuff during the summer. He gets 1 bike a week to test out.

That'd be cool. Harley's don't do much for me though.

I did like my buddy's custom 73 softtail... until it burst into flames and the fire company had to come and put it out.

I kinda have to like harleys...harleys and miller beer lol. otherwise i would be disowned from my family and id have to move away from milwaukee lol.


anyway. Its kinda cool though cause I get to see stuff that I cant talk about. lol

haha! Priviledge info only, huh?

he bought what he wanted. i'm happy for him. hey lighten up on us old guys

Kawasaki Ninja If I ever got one.

b.t.w your dad did it right. you are not on the honda forum trying to decide what kind of fart pipe would be the best

Kawasaki Ninja If I ever got one.

Not much for crotch rockets.. always see guys that are trying to show off in em so pretty much ruins the reputation for anyone else who rides em.

thats kind of the point... gotta get something you can have fun with

"Some people are so spoiled" says the man with the gold LS1 powered Z28.. haha j/k..that's a nice lookin bike :grinyes:

Showing off???

If you ride one, you'll understand that showing off gets you killed. What you're refering to is how the damned things RUN. When I had my Katana it wouldn't do less than 95. It's kinda like driving in 1st and 2nd... It just doesn't feel right and the damned thing gets all jumpy, hit the brakes lightly and it just stops where it is... they are hard to drive slow.

And with the sport / super-sport bikes (not so much the harley type bikes with their billboard sized saddlebags and obnoxiously loud exhaust) you HAVE to drive aggresively or you WILL be dead. I could stop faster from 100 mph than ANY car could from 35 or 40 mph... you want to be WAY ahead of the closest car behind you... trust me on that. You also want to be wearing the brightest, loudest clothing you can find... number one reason motorcycles get hit by a car is because the driver of the car didn't see them.

Who cares? They're fun and they sound amazing.

oh yeah

suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii


BAM! plop plop

errrrrrr BAM!

About the sound of when 2 went smack dab into the side of my 78 Buick, cratered the hole passenger side, the first bike hit the front fender, the kid and and his girliie friend flew over the car and landed on the trunk/bumper/street. The second bike went right into the rear qurter and they launched 'em straight over the car. Impact was hard enough that even with my belt on I hit my head on the door post and was knocked out for 15 minutes.

Even more so, my mother heard the impacts 4 blocks away with the damn Kennedy freeway inbetween.

Nothing like spending an evening picking hair and flesh out of your trim panels. They didn't even make the traffic hearing months later.

Well... You have to not be a friggin retard to drive a bike. The guys that ran into you were probably so stoked that they had a peice of heiney rdiding on the backs of their bikes that they weren't paying attention. (Get the ass AFTER you're done riding - or drive it home, ride it, and drop it off someplace. I don't care what anyone says... riding a sport bike with someone on the back ain't fun.)

BTW - You're not supposed to have a passenger on the back of a bike until you have the equivalent of 2 full years of driving experience on one. 99% of people who have bikes take people on the back like within weeks. Makes a WORLD of difference in handling.

I never had anyone one the back of mine, except for my wife 2 times, and I had mine for about 5 years. The handling got so slushy it was even funny, not to mention that the foot pegs get that much lower to the ground... which makes turning that much more difficult.

I think I'll stick to four wheels, I have my own one bail on two already, you know that thread with the 'maro on the high tension wire? Somehow after I ejected myself off the bike, I managed to to miss it, it was right there.

You people out there in the middle speak funny. (Wife is from Detroit, MI) Do y'all have "door-walls" in your part of the world? How about "crowns" instead of crayons? :rofl:

Sad part is, I think I understood what you said.:iceslolan

Simplified:

Me drive/stay in cars, have 4 wheels, stay on ground better.

Me no ride bike, took turn too fast, ate dirt, got hurt, no fun.

Geit it?

Door walls?

I did get it the first time! Sucks though. Hurt bad???

Doorwall = Sliding Glass Door. (As they explained it to me... Inlaws: Its a door that's a wall. My reply: That's F'ing stupid... by that logic all doors would be door-walls then wouldn't they? Inlaws: Never thought about it like that.

Those Michiganders say all kids of crazy shit like that. Or maybe my in-laws are just a few sandwiches short of a picnic, but everyone that I talk to out there talks like that... geeks.

Hehe, the majority of my wife's family is the Dowagniac, MI (spelled?) area. They are all ok, but yah, there are some serious cultural gaps. Must be the way the wind goes across the lake or something :dunno:

Even worse is the family my brother in law is marri-ing into. These people are like the results of aliens landing in the corn crops and screwing cattle or something.

Did the bail hurt, hell yeah, the chain drive almost took my foot off, I didn't realize that until the next morning tho when I went to put my shoe on and the side was missing.

people in wisconsin and upper michigan dont talk that way lol...wtf ...door walls bhwhaha

door walls.. :rofl: Wth.. why not just sliding doors..?

I think all of our pollution in milwaukee is finally starting to get to the people in detroit's heads.
