funny thing i learned to ride an old yamaha ysr mini crotch rocket from the 80's kinda cool little bikes. i still want a kawasaki 750 triple and an old pan chop someday.

nice troublehead billy!!


i like them myself you can get a revtech 5 speed in a 4speed case fairly cheap ..

yeah you definitly need a set of forward controls and a new set of bars ..
break out some flat black paint and make the night train papa harley should have built in 81

I might run down to Sturgis and see what I can find, used to be lots of sweet deals during the rally. I was there yesterday taking a horse to the vet but couldn't really navigate too well with the horse trailer.lol

This lowrider is a classic example of doing stupid stuff to a bike. I think the tubes are about 3 over and those drag bars, both just make a marginal bike handle worse. It also vibrates worse than any I have had. I put a lot of screws back in that were missing. When I first fired it off it ran about 30 seconds and a screw fell out of the handlebar control. It is a good representation of Harley's sorriest years. I probably won't keep it too long.

i sure like those new nightser's. but if i was going to fork over the cash for a new bike it'd definatley be for a buell.

I'd sure like to try out a V-rod

My neighbor rented a Vrod in Hawaii. He still talks about it, how responsive and nimble compared to his dresser, or his Dyna and even his custom springer/sportster which is really a kick ass nimble. He has been eyeing last years model that didn't sell, that has the same peg setup that he likes. I have to say, I'm still oscillating between selling my softail or modifying the suspension, to make it a better handling bike in turns!
