Least it won't slow you down any.

I did go for a burn today - didn't ring - all dirt roads - you would have hated it.

I had suspected that they had dissapeared in this already over crowded market.

From what ive seen there just going from strength to strength,though not my cup of tea (yet) i have to admit that the ones ive seen in the flesh are pretty easy on the eye indeed,can testify that they go pretty hard to with the right bloke onboard (Xnuts springs to mind).There different and they got curves,gotta be ok.

Oh I dunno.

Last Sunday (*cough*) I rode the Vegas 8-ball, with the shotgun pipes, for part of the day and found that I could do just about anything I wanted to do in 5th

All of the 1500cc bikes would be fine with three and an overdrive.

A Rocket III-speed?

I don't understand the aversion the Americans seem to have for twin discs. Is it a weight-saving thing?.

It would make a great 2 speed auto.

Un-necessary thing. Your sports bike has them partly for efficient heat dissipation during repeated hard stops without fading. Not a big a consideration on a tourer. Braking power is fine.

The Vision, the Hammer (but not the new 8-ball version), the new Cross Country and the Cross Road all have twin discs at the front. The Jackpot, Vegas and Kingpin don't. As BD pointed out, lack of braking ability is not something that comes up.

Yeah - I suppose I could have slowed down.

Just my 2 cents here.

That 8 ball Hammer is the cleanest and styliest lookin cruiser around.

I may never own or ride one, but that sure is stunning.

Well done to Victory
