Harley Junk

[1busa]

I know personally I like to have my feet under me rather than stretched out in front.

I don't personally know many cruiser riders who have switched to a sport bike but know many who did the opposite or went to adventure tour platforms.

I certainly can't see the attraction of the ape style bars which places one's arms above shoulder level...

Not gonna lie Forward controls take some getting used to but even then it’s a love or hate relationship. I’ve had forwards on 2 of my Harley and I actually like the seating position. I’ve recentu sat on an Indian Scout with forwards and hated it same with the XDiavel so go figure?? If you notice most Harley riders have highway pegs attached to their crash bars so they can rest their feet forward almost like your sitting on a couch with your feet on the coffee table. So why not stretch out and still have your foot controls readilly available?

Far as the Apes go it’s really up 2 you and your body type. I’ve got 10” bars on mine and it puts it close to straight ahead. The stock bars were lower and @ an odd angle which gave me neck and shoulder pains after an hour of riding. Some guys just feel comfy and @ home with those y’all ape hangers??? Again different strokes different folks....

Talk about ape hangers, have you caught the new TV show, Mayans M/C? Typical outlaw biker show with mostly Mexican bikers running drugs along the southern CA border or providing protection for a Mexican cartel including a couple DEA snitches etc etc. Just about every Harley shown is is a modern big Hawg with ape hangers. No bobbers, no choppers, not even a visually modded bike, all pretty much stock, but with ape hangers.

None are really that comfortable to me unless it's a glide. I did have a V Rod for a short time that felt like I could ride forever, was very comfortable.

Here’s a pic of my 07 Nightrod. It had forward controls and was pretty comfortable within reason. Great for ripping around town and down the highway but after 2-3 hours straight on the interstate with no fairing leaned over like that eventually would wear me out. I ended up trading it in for my 15 Roadglide Special. I miss seeing that bike parked in my garage but they gave me a crazy trade in # I just couldn’t walk away from....... Might grab 1 up down the road if the price is right

I say ok!! How much $$$ has to be worth it right!!! I didn't think I was bragging until I was attacked, even then I just stated a couple things hopefully of interest to defend myself. Let's go big fella!!! We can lock the money up with a well known neutral person ?

If you felt personally attacked that wasn’t my intent just calling out a few things I didn’t agree with you on. It’s all good tho we can definitely do a coast 2 coast race!!! Im probably gonna try to do that ride next year spring/summer time. This season is almost over and with hurricanes and flooding going on I’m crazy but I’m not that crazy to try and ride my bike down to FL right now.

I’ll let you know when I have time with my work etc and we can set something up. It’s gonna be abided by the Iron Butt rules so every mile/fuel stop will have to be documented along with odometer readings. Not saying you’d cheat but don’t want you pulling off 20 miles down the road into your shiny toy hauler and passing me on the interstate

I don't lie and I don't steal and want nothing to do with anyone that does!! That being said, I am serious about doing it!!! Let me know, I'll plan, you taking a RG I'll take my 13 RG!

Looking for somebody NEUTRAL to hold the money ~ and well known here on the Hayabusa.oRg board too *

Wonder who that would be ?

 

[WuzzaCBXRider]

It’s gotta be me. Isn’t his an honest face?

I hear you there...different bikes fit different folks...I guess I was just being close-minded and I shouldn't be.

No, I haven't caught that TV show, I am not a real big fan of outlaw biker shows. I'd imagine the prop people didn't want to alter the bikes too much...maybe they were on some sort of loan..?

ATP turbo GS 1000 8.92 159 no bar and a rain tire. 66 Chevelle small block 1190s street tires and mufflers. 70 Datsun truck 10.99 mufflers and tiny 8" old slicks. Wanna test me with that 500 HP Busa???

So when you and Ali123 or 1busa decide to drop trowel and measure your Johnsons', please give the rest of us notice so we can look away...

I sense a measuring contest in the works...

I'm confused. Was your car a c/ altered or the bike was ?

 

[Johnnie Phatt]

I'll hold the money. I'm Canadian. Can't get more neutral than that lol
