Harleys. Love them or hate them.

Sonny now has a Victory Vision

OMG. That's just wrong.

[MadDuck]

Stock exhausts?

Stock what? It is just not cool to keep stock exhausts.

Big Dave. Got to love that movie! I've a copy on DVD and my poor, long-suffering wife has had to sit through it so many times...

[AD345]

Ta heaps for the update.
(He still gets an American V-twin rumble doesn't he?)

They have their moments

LOL


There there - it's always a shock when our idols show their feet of clay huh??

No exhausts is quite cool for an ear bleed.

What do you mean no rumble?

Stock exhausts?

Xactly what i said "no rumble".Not knocking Harleys,far from it been around to long to be bothered with that shite.They have a vastly distinctive sound than most V-twins stock pipes or not.Hard to be honest here without offending owners of said bikes but the reality is they have a sound more akin to an old and i mean old tractor with a fucked exhaustnot being offensive thats just the reality and its far from a rumble.Best mate rides a Dyna/wide/FGWXAKU etc (again not taking the piss just cant remember the endles letters associated with said bike),its an 07 and all things considered a nice bike,when he bought it it had oem pipes,kind of quiet which is to be expected,fitted an aftermarket system and now it sounds like afore mentioned tractor,he loves the sound and thats all that matters eh but its far removed from a rumble.

Yep similar,as i said far from a rumble,the problem may well be that rumble has taken on a new meaning these days.

Heard a new V rod go past the other day,but only just.
It had the stock pipes on it,and was not very audible.

I'm guessing the guy is trying to keep his warranty valid.

WHAT...WHAT I cant hear you

[naphazoline]

And do what they effingwell like.

I used to have bias against machines and makes. Till I started riding all of them. Then I realised it was dopey. There is no general rule.

Just out of curiosity, If you could only have one bike, and it was the only bike you were allowed to ride for the next 10 years,what would it be?

My Buell. I think it is the most versatile big bike. Doesn't do 'anything' outstandingly well. But does 'everything' reasonably well.

Sports, tours, stunts, fun round town, excellent 2 up, does dirt roads and some ADV - and it's very tall.

Cheap to service and although parts speed of delivery to NZ is a bit of a pain they will be available for that 10 years.

Triumph Tiger if I could remove the bodywork and screen. I'd own a Speed Triple already if I fitted on one.

I could live with this Rocket III quite easily too. Really enjoying it.

BMW Megamoto if I only rode solo.

Road King with a suspension job.

Concours 1400 would be a contender too.
