No helmet law in this state. But I’m still looking for one of those barely Legal beanie helmets.

Ape hangers, and the wife needs a black eye. We’re set.



He saved the quieter stock pipes. Thank god. First thing I’m changing.

If it holds up I’ll do something like this in a few years.

You also need a get back whip



I'm so jealous as you say. Just tell me when you sell the fenders on eBay and I may bid

Wow, I try. To imagine lane splitting with that thing and keep dieting after thirty seconds.

No lane splitting with the sidecar.
Have fun.

If you had a righteous pair of dragon a$$ jeans I would suggest having the tank repainted to match The color scheme is already in place.




Enjoy the HD and ride safe!

Why can’t you ride two-up on a BMW? I do it all the time!

Seems a clear-cut case for a “k”...

Looks to me you got a great deal. I like the tank and all, if you are west of the Mississippi. Have fun on it and if you sell it next year, so what, you won't loose anything. I kind of miss my old bike, but I like living better.

I bought an XLCR, I got it cause I thought it looked good, I new it didn't' go fast and didn't handle so I wouldn't be racing anyone. I liked it.

I just put 700 miles on my Road Glide.

Had a 2006 Electra Glide for 12 years. Did everything exactly the way it was meant too and it’s still in my garage. Utterly reliable machine, nothing I have owned has even compared. Ask Higgins how many miles he put in his RK...

I’m going to give a buddy of mine a good deal in it.

Enjoy it and have fun!

I like it.

Have you looked in the saddlebags. There might be a bottle of Jim Beam in one and Jack Daniels in the other.

Did you ever consider an Aspencade? I always thought these were pretty cool, if you were to get a touring bike.

You got a great deal on a great touring bike. It accelerates slowly and brakes even slower...but you’ll get used to that. Something about how an HD touring bike feels rolling down the road. Enjoy.

It looks really cool! But I think that it is quite expensive.

Considered one. None in the state. No k type beemers and the only gold wings for the price we’re incredibly high mileage. Very limited market around here. And for the first time the wife had a say.

Miss my victory. But it’s gone. And I’m tired of waiting for Indian to show up.

Checked eBay. Just a stock set of fenders and tank runs 800-1000. Honestly don’t know if the wolf paint helps or hurts.
