Some few of you asked to see a picture of the Harley I'm buying so here you go:

It's been a dream of mine for most of my adult life to own one, and now I've finally got both the money to buy it and the time to ride it. :D

fucking awesome dude! :D

*wants a HD... badly*
*is jealous* :P

Righteous bro.

Well, considering I've wanted one ever since I got back from Vietnam, which was in 1969 ( good year! ), I counsel patience. ;)

Hmm, bikes aren't my thing...but if it makes you happy: Right on! http://assets.jolt.co.uk/forums/images/icons/icon14.gif

Im not much for the added cargo boxes.
Makes it look a bit too much like a Honda Goldwing.

However, becuase its a Harley, its automatically twice as cool.

This however, is even cooler:

Righteous bro.

Thanks, mah man! I thought long and hard before I could make a choice between a cafe style racer ( shuch as the Softail or the Fatboy ), or a touring style such as this one. Since I want to knock around the US of A, I finally wound up with this one. I have an old car I can drive around town, so the touring style was logical as well as visceral. :D

I agree, which is one reason I struggled with the decision, but like I said, I intend to do a lot of touring. :)

I like it. It's red and shiny-ish.

Thanks, NL! It definitely does make me happy to have a life-long desire fulfilled. There are a number of wimmin I know from around the Country who have already asked for a ride. [ grin ] My policy is, "a ride for a ride!" LMAO!

Holy cow! :eek:

I hope it brings you much enjoyment. :)

I like it. It's red and shiny-ish.

LOL! Well, people have bought them for reasons which make even less sense, so it's kewl! :)

I know it will. Now I just have to resist that impulse of mine to achieve orbital velocity! LOL!

That's ok. At some point neither did any of us who ride them. :)

In wich case, if you want to bring more with you than just your wallet and whatever you can fit inside your leather jacket, you need saddlebags/boxes.

However, I forbid you to ride said Hog, unless you are suitably attired.

Mandatory.

It's not my thing, but I can appreciate interesting machinery.

I must admit though, it'd be pretty cool to slip on the shades & cruise off into the sunset somewhere. :cool:

I tend to avoid caring about bikes because my grandfather died on one before I was born.:(

But that is a cool bike...

And don't forget all the wimmin who get turned on by Harleys. :D

There is a greater risk on a motorcycle, but that's part of the mystique. ;)

[ Stands down ] I won't be "as I were," 'cause as I were was broke! :D

And don't forget all the wimmin who get turned on by Harleys. :D

Yeah, that's definitely a nice little bonus! ;)

Didn't you say in another thread that you'd got yourself a new woman though? That sort of thinking will get you in trouble :p

The other driver was at fault, anyway, and they were driving some sort of truck, I think.

But I guess you're right. Potential danger is part of the mystique.

Dude! Any woman I date now-a-days accepts the "open relationship" concept! :D

The road king would be my choice in (quite) a few years as well. I think the pic Sasquatches showed is of a scout with a motor by S&S. Indian does or at least did make a road bike along the lines of the Road King but without a Harley clone (by S&S) motor. The Chief. It has a new motor which pays visual homage to Indian motors of yore but is modernised and more powerful than the S&S ones.

Right now if I get a Harley next year when Im due for a new bike it will be one of THESE (http://www.sportrider.com/bikes/2004/2004-buell-xb12r-d3-3.jpg)

Looks nice, but can it beat a V-Rod? :)

Somewhere between '50-'53.

Well, this is a pretty cool V-Rod.

Not sure if its been customized though.

But In a race?

Heh, not a prayer.

Old-school Indian bikes are all about making the guys who own Harleys look jealously at you as cruise by, looking way cooler.

All about class.

i think you made the right choice... much as i adore the look of the fatboy, a proper touring bike is way cooler in reality :)

Let's just hope it doesn't take too long to get used to having something that powerful between your legs ;)






Sorry, someone had to.

Sorry, Eut, I'm gonna have to remain a loyal son and state that my step-father's hog is MUCH better looking. Sorry.

But if you want a Nagano Chapter t-shirt so you can cause heads to turn with the silly samurai printed on the back, drop me a TG.

After 37 years, you will undoubtedly have a wonderful cruise, and you will have deserved it.
I drove through western Canada on the back of a motorcycle once. When you drove by the rivers coming off the mountain glaciers, you would pass through a pocket of icy cold air for a split second that would cut right through your clothes and chill your skin. Exhilirating. That's something you won't get in a car.
Have a good ride, Eutrusca.

Exactly. Thank you! :)

I've had to live with that feeling most of my adult life! [ smile ]

I just hope you can handle all that power old man ;)

I'm sorry, but living next to someone who owns a motorcycle, made me hate them..

They are loud and annoying.

But.. pwetty. :cool:

Unfortunately they are loud and annoying and can wake you up at 3am. Annoying to say the least.

Do you know how many time I've wanted to slash my neighbors tires just to get some quiet time?

Good for you Eut. Enjoy and be safe!

Why do you just pull a microphone out of your pocket?

Will I see you at Biketoberfest in Daytona next month?

I just hope you can handle all that power old man ;)

Just don't you worry yer lil head about dat! [ grin ]

The little housing area where I llive doesn't allow bikes here for that reason, as well as others. I'm keeping the bike in my oldest daughter's garage, and her house is just about 200 yards away. :)

Good for you Eut. Enjoy and be safe!

I'll be fine as long as I can keep my tendency to attain orbital velocity under control! Heh!

Thats freaking great!!!

Will I see you at Biketoberfest in Daytona next month?

That would be great! As far as I know I should have the bike by the tenth. Would that give me time to get down there in time for the festivities? :)

That is a beautiful vehicle, nay, it's more than a vehicle, it's a Harley!

Amen! :D

I guess her housing area feels a little different on the bike policy. :p

I suppose so. At least she lives nearby.

Oh. My. God.

I don't even like motorbikes but this is beautiful.

*furtively steals keys from Eut's pocket*

Awww. When I saw the thread title, I thought we'd see pics of Eut in Speedos.

*runs*

Anybody on two wheels is cool in my book (unless you act like a jerk, I suppose).

Welcome to the club Eut, keep the rubber side down.
