Gone to the Dark Side

[MIXONE]

Hi guys.Happy to report that after wanting a harley for years but never getting one because of various circumstances I have bitten the bullet and am now the proud owner of a 100th Anniversary FXD.
I did 700 km on the day I picked it up and have probably covered close to 2k km in the first two weeks.Fair to say I love it.320051

Mate last year alone I did about 30k km on two wheels and I've been riding constantly for nearly 45 years so a couch sitter I ain't.

Well done, enjoy! (and you will!)

The plus of owning a Harley is: it's the best bait to get morons, drongos wannabe funny guys and utter fuck-wits going...<_<

You're not suggesting that you'd find morons, drongos, wannabe funny guys and utter fuck-wits on this forum?

Nah bro - you can't tease them 'cos they're all pissing themselves laughing at your antics....:laugh:,

Cuts both ways. My favourite is to ask Harley riders what model Honda that is they're riding :chase:

I always assumed it was a combination of age and wind up the trouser leg from the riding position that caused the bladder
issues, my bad:lol:

And here I was thinking "Gone to the Dark Side" was just another car tyre thread.

How wrong I was, its just another Harley thread.

So maybe you should start a just another suzuki thread...

[Old Steve]

Touchy about something?

Rode a Harley once, rode a Road King from Cairns up the Cpt Cook Highway to Port Douglas, really enjoyed it.

But can't afford what is asked for them. So I enjoy what I ride.

But what you ride is your choice, Harley, Italian clock developing 150 HP, jappa, whatever. I was just making a play on the phrase "the dark side", which is what I've seen the use of a car tire on the rear wheel referred to. Sorry you couldn't follow the subtlety.

Took The others along time to start imitating the HD and when they finally did they could not get that wonderful potatoe, potatoe, potatoe, V twin sound right. lol

This may not be true, but I heard Harley tried to sue Hyosung for copying the noise of their bikes.

It's not hard to emulate. 45° V and a shared carb/throttle body.

Edit: Ya have to fire them 45° apart. 405° will sound more even.

It's true.Harley actually tried to copyright the sound but failed.
