" More likely they just didn't want to see this idiot die."
Thanks for this Jeff. I had a smile on my face while I was reading this. I wonder how many sportster riders ever rev to the limit other than a missed shift.
Is there a generational thing with motorcyclists? I find myself from time to time stuck behind a group of riders. In the days when I was riding, I don't ever recall having a car catch up to me if the weather was half decent.
Before I bought the old E, I had a serious look at an old Sportster. The owner taught me the trick of finding the right spot in the crank rotation (which I have since forgotten) so you don't frustrate, or injure yourself when attempting to start the old beast. I still have a soft spot in my head for the old stock normal riding position bikes.
Best
