Finally got my Harley...

Holy shit. I thought I had ridden a motorcycle before. They weren't motorcycles. Compared to this Harley they were all motorized bicycles. This thing has so many gigantic, huge balls it could get a Honda pregnant just by being in the same parking lot. I just grab the throttle, squeeze it and hold on tight while the bike tries to take off out from under me. It's so loud it was shaking windows loose from houses all up and down Hollywood Blvd. Saturday - and I never got within 30 miles of Hollywood. :p


I'll be dead in a month. :(

Yeah. Someone said to me, "If your head is worth $30, spend $30 on a helmet." I spent $540 on a DOT/Snell approved helmet. Fuck that skull cap shit. I'm covering my whole head, legs with chaps, steel toed boots, thick leather grloves and a full leather jacket. ;)

I doubt it, otherwise they'd've fixed it by syncing the clocks. It's simple server problem solving. The clocks are asynchronous, so, the posts don't appear chronologically. This is why you needs servers operating in the same LAN to be precisely linked right down to the second.

Well, the problem is that the different servers the forums run on are not syncronized, and probably can't be because they're not exactly of top quality. Thanks to non-syncronization, when we see posts, they appear to time warp, but in actually it's just because we're all using different servers. (I'm using forums.jolt.co.uk myself. Some use forums2 or forums3, methinks.)

Dan: Nicenice, especially on the gas miliage. A good reason to get a motercycle. How well do those things handle foul weather, though? Would be useless if I bought it for the fuel efficiency and then was bogged down in all the crazy snow we've been having. (Another foot last night. Yay! :mad: )

Not well. Definately a warm climate commuter vehicle. If you got one it'd probably spend most of the winter in your garage.

During the summer, though, your penis would grow to mammoth proportions.

How valuble is that new penis (http://www.dragginjeans.com/) though? I wish I knew about those guys when I had my bike (which was a non-discript penis-a '78 Honda CB400 that looked like a bike from a Hanna Barbara cartoon, which to me was a lot of its charm to me).

You make me sad, because I want a motorcycle again. I bounce around wanting a Harley lowrider, a Ducati Monster, or an old Norton or Triumph. I always want a 40-50s Indian Chief, but I'd also like to gold plate my house, too...

Thanks for that link. I book marked it. I'll be a customer soon. I spent over $500 on my helmet and I'll spend whatever it takes to be smart about this. I love riding the thing, but I'm not going to do it naked.

Yet another 'tard who's been sucked in by the bullshit Harley mystique. I've never understood the appeal of Harley's. The fact that the company has been through bankruptcy more then 20 times tells a lot about their business and accounting model, ie, that they have their heads up their asses.

The quality and reliability level is on par with a Yugo.

And you seem ot think it's flantabuolous that you interrupted and annoyed another people as well as flagrently violated several local noise ordinances. Not that you give a fuck about any of that, 'cause you've finally got a Harley.

You know what that sound is?

Guess who can suck my brand new big veiny dick? ;)

Was in bankruptcy once when the Japanese owned it. Made bad motorcycles during the 80's, again, when the Japanese owned it, and the reliability of the Harleys people build in their garages out of spare parts are not representative of my new, store-bought Harley with it's seven year, unlimited mileage warranty.

You just have to be aware when you're on a bike. Fortunately, you're kind of forced to be aware just by the feel of riding. People will pull out in front of you, happened twice this weekend, people will make a left in front of you, people will switch lanes in front of you. You have to ride knwing that the car up there waiting to pull out into traffic is going to pull out in front of you and plan your route before it happens.

The fact is, statistics say that you are far more likeley to get killed on a motorcycle than in a car. Statistics also say, though, that the vast majority of riders don't get killed or even seriously injured. Most people who ride motorcycles are careful and are able to avoid accidents or mitigate them by avoidance techniques. I spent 10 hours this weekend in a motorcycle safety class and have signed up for more. I'll probably take a few courses a years as some of my friends do.

Very honestly because I want people to know I'm there. It's kind of important when you're riding a motorcycle. If you can hear me from 20 yards away then you'll know I'm there long before you make that left turn or change lanes or pull out of that parking lot.

Also, there is a component of the deep, base sound that just goes with the bike. It's part of the experience.

Then you're not in California. I have a deep, base sound to my motor, but I don't have one of those jet airplane souding ones. Put it this way, when it's on I can talk to the rider next to me while he's on his bike and we can hear each other.

I'll attest to that. My bike came with an aftermarket exhaust that was kinda loud and while I did get merged into from time to time etc, it certainly increased when I replaced it with the stock, quieter pipe. It was with that pipe I was nearly sideswiped by a pickup truck (who I then chased down until I asked myself, "What am I going to do if I catch him?"). When that pipe spit out its baffle and it became ridiculously loud, suddenly no one is cutting me off or anything like that.

I can see it being used as a safety precaution sure! Most people I don't think use it as such though. They rev it up like they think they are cool or something. The ones who especially annoy me are the ones who sit in one spot and crank it.

I have to say though that I dont see how it's part of the biking experience. I love bikes. I've been to many Harley runs, and trike runs and have owned a bike (not a Harley *a Honda Rebel* :p ) but have never understood that. I have a couple Harley riding friends that are as perplexed about it as I am.

We have the law, but it's not always enforced.

Once upon a time I did run across a mention of a pipe that at low rpms would be pretty quiet and then at higher, freeway rpms etc, it would get louder.

Well, I know the kind of bikes you're talking about and I probably overdid it in my description with the whole thing about rattling our windows - that was a reference to the deep sound more than how far it was projected. you can hear my bike - there's no question about that - but you can't hear it for blocks away. When I first road it around the block I asked my roommates when I got back if they could hear me when I was on the other said of the neighborhood and they said that once I was around the corner they could not hear me anymore.

You'll hear me if you're twenty or thirty yards away and about to pull out of a gas station, though.

And, no. I bought the bike to ride it - not to rev it up in my garage. If you hear my bike then you can be sure that in a minute or two you won't because I'll be gone.

An "irresponsible, idiotic" Harley Davidson rider rode his bike into a bar at a hot rod show and did wheelspins for 30 seconds before driving out and crashing into three young boys, police say.

you'll be fine.

Now just start saving up to get it all modded out by Orange County Choppers! :p

[QUOTE=PsychoticDan;12239173]Holy shit. I thought I had ridden a motorcycle before. They weren't motorcycles. Compared to this Harley they were all motorized bicycles. This thing has so many gigantic, huge balls it could get a Honda pregnant just by being in the same parking lot. I just grab the throttle, squeeze it and hold on tight while the bike tries to take off out from under me. It's so loud it was shaking windows loose from houses all up and down Hollywood Blvd. Saturday - and I never got within 30 miles of Hollywood. :p

congrats!!!!

i have one and love it,also got a crotch rocket that is insane.

happy trails,i love riding.

always wear a brain bucket though,while i dissagree on helmet laws,i never ride without one,not even around the corner.
i got my son a honda cbr,and i hold the title..i told him if i ever saw him without a helmet..the bike is gone.

so what did you get?
dyna,standard,fatboy,heritage...?

the first few weeks are the worst,at first your cautious as you learn the bike...then you get cocky..at least i did,explaining the scars i have.

awesome bro...

i thought the street bob was a solo seat bike?

your in cali...i dont know if all the states jam us up with the fuel injection stuff,but mine has the 44 carb,all you got to do is rejet and put her on a dyno when you swap out the stock pipes.
i know cali was the first to implement the fuel injection stuff..it just costs the consumer more loot to remap for new pipes...meanwhile 18 wheelers are belching out smoke,let alone the zillion cages out there polluting.but you have to restrict bikes..lol(what about lawn mowers?)

nice to have another rider with us....like i said,i always wear a lid(against the laws too) but dumb if you dont wear a helmet.

i have a super glide sport..circa 2002...with the twin cam...and the upgraded 44 carb.
my brother has a electric glide standard..anniversary one..also carb'ed.
put a set of v-h pipes on it..did the dyno thing..it hauls ass.

my super glide is fast,but i have the stock pipes on it,but just re jetted and lost the baffles.

now too the noise folk....both mine and my brothers bikes are loud....not at idle,but at higher rev's they are.
my bro leaves for work at 5:30 a.m.
he let's his bike warm up in the garage,cant hear it at idle or high idle...then putt's away so as not to disturb the neighbors..gone in seconds with little noise...now on the highway..yea it is loud...loud saves you on the highway.

all you need is a modicom of respect for your neighbors and there is no issue.

sit there and rev it..your a jack ass.

a lawn mower at 8:00 am is more irritating then 10 seconds of a low growl.

now i have a rice bike also...a gsxr-750..and i go to the track with it now and again...so to win at the track..in stock races..(kinda stock..lol)i put a power commander module in it,and re mapped it with a lap top,so it would respond better to the full exhaust(devil bike) system i installed on her.
the thing is sick...talk about a blur...woohoo it is mad fun.

i also spend time at my bro's,and i have my gixxer there,i also dont want to disturb the neighbors...and at idle it is just a low type thrum...so no disturbing there....i also barely touch the throttle till i am well on my way,so as not to disturb anyone.

i will say..when i hit about 12,000 r"s,you can hear me from miles away..it screams....

so i dont do that near peoples homes...but my bro said he heard me 5 miles away coming home...cause i was zooming along.

so that blows the sad guy harley hater out of the water...my gixxer is obnoxious compared to my hog...i just aint obnoxious i guess...it's all in your behaviour.

my gixxer is way louder then my hog,but they are both quiet when need be,and since i aint a jerk,,,they are always quiet when it matters.

enjoy the ride..ignore the idiots...and keep your head on a swivel..i do.

wear a helmet,be respectfull of your neighbors...and always keep in mind the guy in the car wants to kill you.

you will be fine...i love hog"s..i really do enjoy cruising thru the pinebarrens...the smell of the pines is overwhelmong...beautifull...then again..i like to go warp speed thru them...as there is no traffic...

be safe out there....
