That's a nice bike.

Awesome , you just gotta love the dark range.

Great looking bike and good on you.

Thanks for all the cool comments once again, guys - hey - someone asked about the air suspension. It's a Legend system - I've got the controls on the handle bar, so I can raise and lower it while riding. The system replaces the stock shocks and comes with a compressor. Here's a photo of it completely lowered - one can ride like that but one better be careful when cornering

Don't know what's got into KB lately..? Was expecting the usual Harley jokes...

Nice to see an owner taking pride in his ride! May not be my cup of tea, but then that's what biking is all about and wouldn't it be boring if we all had the same tastes?

However, it is a nice bike! Welcome to the nuthouse that is the most popular biking forum in NZ!

I'd say its a move from denial to acceptance... inevitable really.

anyways, go thee to a rally.

Thanks Edbear! I really like this forum! Oh, and if Harleys are not your cup o' tea and you ride a Suzuki - maybe you like the new "hog" I just bought during my lunch break (see attachment). I'll race you and your Boulevard!

Hey! That's cool! What size is it?

I do like Harley's, but the 1200 Sporty is my fav. then the Electra Glide, and maybe the T-Sport, but mainly the Sporty! Oh, the Night-Rod is a cool bike too.

Whenever I ride with friends on Harley's they inevitably get left behind once the corners get interesting, but they sound awesome as no-one leaves a Harley with standard pipes! My little 805cc Boulevard, even two-up, is well able to match the pace of all bar the new 1600's although I have to change down on the steeper hills...

Unfortunately, when I can get a C50T with all the bits on-road for $14,600, a Harley is a bit pricey... Maybe one day... Meantime, the Missus and I love the Boulevard and love riding together, and ain't that what it's all about?

It's a 200cc Suzuki Vanvan - it's hilarious. It's got a 180 rear tire! :O And I offered to race you with that one, not with the Harley

I've ridden all kinds of bikes and loved all of them - for instance, in California I had a Honda VTX 1800 - now that was a fast cruiser! Sometimes I used to mess with squids on it - worked for the first 100 meters haha - they were like "WHAT?? How can something that big move that fast????"

Harleys are an acquired taste I guess. Next to the looks what I like about them are the sound of the engine and that *everything* on it is made of metal, except the parts that need plastic

But to make this post not even longer - here's how I look at it (and it's basically the same thing you said): riding bikes is fun - choose what you like and go have fun! Don't be a dickhead regardless of what you're riding and stay safe.

You must envy CB & me seeing as we have a 1200 Sporty AND a T-Sport!!

But all bikes are cool - it's just some of the owners I'm a bit dubious about..
