The converted

[Finn]

The long wait is over. The beast has joined the Finn family.

iPhone photo's only at this stage.

[EJK]

It sure is Big and Black :yes:

Congrats! :D

[tri boy]

It sure is Big and Black :yes:



Finn seems to like them "Big n Black" (going by his posts):devil2:

[Katman]

Nice car tyre.:msn-wink:

Am I correct in guessing 240?

[sAsLEX]

For a second there Finn I thought you had gone all patriotic with what looks nearly like a silver fern on the tank........ but thankfully my reality was not torn and it was simply a reflection


Nice and shiny mate!

[vifferman]

Nice car tyre.
I don't think so.
It's got prickly things poking out, so it's obviously a specialised snow/ice tyre.

Congratulations, Finn! :niceone:

Ah... um..... you might need to put it on a diet - it looks like it's been eating too much Mrkn fast food. :confused:


Cue all the dumb questions, e.g., "What'll it do, Mister?"
"Emma Chizzit, Mister?"
"Why is the numberplate upside down?"

[EJK]

"Why is the numberplate upside down?"

:laugh:

+10

[98tls]

Congrats:niceone::ride:report and better pics.

[MisterD]

That actually doesn't look to bad - perhaps I've got a midlife crisis coming on too....:banana:

Yes, regarding those chicken strips... at the point where you see them, the pegs are scraping.

Rearsets ?

[paturoa]

Now you'll have to go out and get a realy big padlock to keep it in the family!

[PrincessBandit]

Ooooh, seriously shiny and phat!!!

[limbimtimwim]

Word!

Have fun.

[rainman]

Congrats! Nice bike...

[Livvy]

Yum.

So uh.

Why IS the numberplate upside down?

[325rocket]

that is awesome. love it


but ... at the risk of sounding like a complete ball sack ... what is it?

[nallac]

that is awesome. love it


but ... at the risk of sounding like a complete ball sack ... what is it?

its one damn fine night rod.
a mates got one in the vivid blue colour,he likes it a hell of a lot more than the 1550 Duece he had before it.

[TOTO]

big, black and the plate is up side down LOL.

Congrats.

[Drew]

A guy in the club that sponsors us is keen to let me have a go on his, I reckon they be well cool.

Enjoy:2thumbsup

[madbikeboy]

Wheelstands are going to be a bitch on that... :devil2:

Nice bike mate.

[riffer]

I dunno, if it has as many herbs as the Street Rod it'll do them.

Looks nice there Mr Finn.

[Drew]

Wheelstands are going to be a bitch on that... :devil2:

Nice bike mate.

They hoist just fine mate, get on youtube and search Harley wheelies.

[PrincessBandit]

Am I correct in guessing 240?

Yes Km, VRSCDX Night Rod Special if i'm not mistaken (just been looking at Harleys on the intramanet). Does have a 240mm rear tyre.

[flame]

Awsome new beast!

Congrats dude:niceone:

[Toaster]

240?? Is that all??? hehehehe Nice one Finn... very nice bike indeed. Black is best!

[Bonez]

Good one Fin. Off to McDonalds for a salad to celebrate?

[Brett]

Nice bike Finn. What brought about the change from the CBR to the MV now to this? Do you still have the MV and this is another addition to the stable?

[Mikkel]

Nice bike! Congratulations on the new purchase - but the days of sneaking up on anyone are bound to be over. :niceone:

It has Brembo ABS brakes right? :Pokey:

[Finn]

Put 500k's on it this weekend. Met up with jrandom & kiwifruit at Cowcop and had planned lunch at Wellsford but a mate missed the Woodcock Rd turn off so we lost them. Takes a bit of getting used to and there was a fair bit of peg (or something) scraping, but still it handles fine. No corner over shoots which is probably a good thing cause if your ditched the thing it could take out a small village.

Here's some snaps I took this morning.

[Finn]

One more.....

[Clivoris]

Congrats man. They have some serious presence. Mate of mine has a Suzuki M109 after owning sprotsbikes for a long-time. He is enjoying cruising and the fat tyre very much.

[Swoop]

Nice, Finny!:cool:

Are the tassles on back-order?

[marty]

looks like something an aucklander going through a mid-life crisis would buy........

[sAsLEX]

looks like something an aucklander going through a mid-life crisis would buy........

After the Porsche and the Replsol?


Can you have multiple mid-life crises?

[madandy]

Congtrats!
That's the bike I'd buy if I could only have one bike for the rest of my life - and it fitted my budget :cry:
125hp and all that twist at lowish rpm must be one hell of a lot of fun :D

[limbimtimwim]

Takes a bit of getting used to and there was a fair bit of peg (or something) scraping, but still it handles fine.I wonder if you could fit street-rod pegs and controls without too much hassle?

Of course it needs another couple of extra inches of ground clearance too.

[Horse]

I understand you imported it direct from the US? Any general comments (or specific ones if you feel like it) about how you found that process?

BTW, nice bike!

[Pwalo]

Strewth that's black! Nice bike. I reckon I could get a set of tyres for the SV out of that rear.

[nodrog]

very nice Sir.

Sexytime!

[mynameis]

Hi5 Finn :D

[Finn]

I understand you imported it direct from the US? Any general comments (or specific ones if you feel like it) about how you found that process?

BTW, nice bike!

I saved $7000 and got it much quicker than "You'll be lucky" HD dealers. The process is easy, even thought customs can hold things up a little.

[Finn]

looks like something an aucklander going through a mid-life crisis would buy........

I went through mine at 30. So what to people in Cambridge do during a mid-life crisis? Get a radio for their tractor? Buy a television?

[HornetBoy]

God those are nice bikes ! :niceone: really low and drawen out when you see them in the flesh.

Good luck with it mate!

[boomer]

i always knew you were gay!!! well done for coming out of the closet :whistle:

[terbang]

Cool bike, but what is it?

[Finn]

i always knew you were gay!!! well done for coming out of the closet :whistle:

Come out for a pillion ride Boomer. You'll feel that third cylinder...


Cool bike, but what is it?

Night Rod Special. Lower, longer, blacker.

[ManDownUnder]

Yes, regarding those chicken strips... at the point where you see them, the pegs are scraping.

Those aren't pegs ya clown, they're the Harley equivalent of trainer wheels - they put 'em on all their bikes to avoid lawsuits from new(ly fallen off) owners.

Nice looking bike man... I don't normally like Harleys.

[The Pastor]

nice bike, when are you sigining up for you-silly's?

[Finn]

nice bike, when are you sigining up for you-silly's?

When I'm old, bald and grumpy. Oh shit, hang on...

[Finn]

I wonder if you could fit street-rod pegs and controls without too much hassle?

Wouldn't want to. Forward pegs and the controls how they are is what I found appealing.

[onearmedbandit]

Awesome addition Finn.

[Grahameeboy]

Why are you standing behind the bike?

[klingon]

Cue all the dumb questions, e.g., "What'll it do, Mister?"
"Emma Chizzit, Mister?"
"Why is the numberplate upside down?"

And does it only work on footpaths? Can it go on the road as well?



(Very nice bike by the way. I'm jealous.)

[Finn]

Why are you standing behind the bike?

Because I'm wearing cheek-less chaps and the thought of me being in a full size poster on your bedroom wall isn't very appealing.

[Finn]

And does it only work on footpaths? Can it go on the road as well?

A Harley doesn't distinguish between the two. It's covered in the manual.

[Devil]

Hrm, biff the exhausts and headlight and i'd have sex with it.
Noice.

[Fatjim]

Looks sweet mate. Did you have it professionally lowered? Is it difficult for you to climb on?

[Grahameeboy]

Because I'm wearing cheek-less chaps and the thought of me being in a full size poster on your bedroom wall isn't very appealing.

Good that we agree then......

[Big Dave]

>>The beast has joined the Finn family.<<


****!

[mynameis]

Hi 5 sexy time Finn, looking very tough man !! ;)

[Finn]

Your photoshop skills are excellent.

[mynameis]

Your photoshop skills are excellent.

Hahahahaha lol :laugh: :lol:

You think I love you so much that I will spend time doing it up properly?

[jrandom]

Met up with jrandom & kiwifruit at Cowcop and had planned lunch at Wellsford but a mate missed the Woodcock Rd turn off so we lost them. Takes a bit of getting used to and there was a fair bit of peg (or something) scraping, but still it handles fine.

Yes, it was interesting following you and your friend along SH16 for a wee ways.

:yes:

[enigma51]

[vifferman]

:yes:
Do you mean "interesting", as in a euphemism for summat else? :spudwhat:

So, what bits was Finn scraping then?

[jrandom]

Random got the learn from a harley :doctor:

Oh, absolutely.

Those V-Rods can move, man. Maybe I wouldn't have gotten such a spanking if I wasn't so tentative about going around corners, but I have yet to get my head around this 'leaning the bike over' thing.

:weep:

[inlinefour]

Are the tassles on back-order?

I think he is just waiting for the full tassle set of leathers, chaps, boots and the black leather Police style hat.:love:

















Nice bike though Finn, lucky bastard...

[madbikeboy]

Oh, absolutely.

Those V-Rods can move, man. Maybe I wouldn't have gotten such a spanking if I wasn't so tentative about going around corners, but I have yet to get my head around this 'leaning the bike over' thing.

:weep:

On a completely unrelated item, I love the knee down avatar - looks like you polish those pipes really well. Now, where was I?? :banana:

[Finn]

Random got the learn from a harley :doctor:

Hardly. The thing takes up 2 lanes and is a bit difficult to get around. Once we hit an overtaking lane, JR & KF squeezed though and disappeared into the distance. I saw KF get his knee down on the first corner. The guy has style & grace on a motorbike I tell yah.

[enigma51]

getting your knee down is neither big nor clever

[sAsLEX]

Thats wheelies dumb arse........ :rolleyes:

[Forest]

Chaps are by definition always cheek-less. Think about it - otherwise they would just be pants or trousers.

Nice bike BTW.

[lanci]

Fucken magic, those nightrod specials are the nicest looking cruisers bar none! (My old manager would disagree and say his special edition fatboy is but....)

iPhone photo's only at this stage.suppose you will be going to the wig shop to buy a mullet styled toope and getting some black jeans and a big motherfucker Harley Davidson belt buckle
