Ok this is the harley I will get

You can afford that?

New Harleys are usually for the mid-life crisis weekend warrior office worker soccer dad type.

Start off with something used, dirty, runs good, cheap - and then work up from there.

exactly my angle. Bought an 07 Night train last year, slammed different rims on it, pipes, 103 kit and forward controls. Now I haven't rode it since August and probably won't touch it again until August of 09.

Go for it but shop around, make sure a soft tail is what you want. Mine is a little small for me.
 
first bike? if so get a pos that u can learn on 1st. otherwise u will cry the first time u drop it. all that shiny crome scratched up.
 
Well yes, I am getting a jap pos junker to learn on first, i meant after that, this is the bike i want.
 
"Pose factor" of a Harley?


:lmao:






Interesting phenomenon I'd noticed since I've been on the back of My Old Grump's bike (he's been riding since before I was born so I don't think he is posin' for Jack Schitt) THE FIRST WORDS out of any non-Harley owner's mouth when we are out on our bikes is, "I coulda had a Harley but...."

That is, unless the non-Harley owner has a custom chopper of some sort. Then the conversation is always the same. We say, "Nice bike." and they reply with, "Thanks man, nice bike too."

Ive priced harleys and victories and its the same. Only problem is when you pay the same amount of money for a victory you dont get a harley.

So your saying the quality is inferior just because it doesn't have a Harley logo on it? Have you ridden one to make a fair comparison? Are you just talking about holding value?

Click to expand...
The fact that what I buy now may not be what I want to keep that long, so holding value means a lot to me. Plus I just like the looks of harleys better than victories. This might all change when I start test riding bikes but the victories would have to be much better to ride than the harleys im interested in, which i doubt it.
 
Actually Victorys are quite respectable. We have a friend who has a super-somethingerother one... He got rid of his RoadKing because his wife would blow by him on her BossHoss Trike - that fucker has a Corvette engine in it and is SCARY FAST.... So Mike said to My Old Grump... wanna ride my Victory. My Old Grump was like... NOPE.

I mean SCARY FAST. We were enjoying a ride cruising at 75/80 and he just hit it and literally DISAPPEARDEDED!!!

I have only been around bikes for a little over a year, since I have been w/the Grump who is about as old school biker as they come. And I honestly can't understand it, but it is what it is... there is just something about a Harley... Whether you like it or not, it is what it is. :whatever:
 
Just remember SDave that owning a Harley does NOT automatically "make one" cool. It's so funny to see all the RUBs with their tricked out custom bikes and their matching attire making the rounds to all the biker bars and spots in the DFW area. They are ALWAYS alone... regardless of how bad-ass their bike is or how cool their gear is the biker groupie chicks that also hang out at these places hoping to get to go for a ride STILL won't give them the time of day.

.... THAT is pretty sad, when a dude spends all that money and STILL can't get laid.

For the love of Pete, SDave.... make us proud! :)
 
Harley's are cool...except for the price.
So, until I finish raising my daughter(thru college)
I'll stay with my '99 Suzuki Intruder 1500
 
Look into dirt bikes. I really love dirt biking nowadays. It's such a blast! And unlike a hog, it's good exercise!

Nothing wrong with that bro! My Uncle has one of these and just upgraded to a bigger brand new bike. He loved his intruder.

A softail? Why not a fatboy?
Click to expand...

Fatboy is part of the softtail family..

I own an 08 Fatboy myself. (Black)

Added Vance/Hines Big Radius Pipes w/power commander, chromed out the forks, custom chrome foot controls and kickstand, street slammer drag bars, chrome fireman cross mirrors, chrome brass knuckle hand controls, custom chrome grips, & chrome polished brake lines..

Im saving up for the tires and rims next..going with the low profile 18s. Rims I want are by Renegade Wheels. Plus Im adding matching floating rotors, pulleys and sprockets..
 
Harley's SUCK!! I used to be tech in a harley dealership.........I was just not impressed. I got to test ride alot of em, and put em on the dyno which is where I could really see what they're made of. Only the fuel injected fatboys stirred any interest on my part. As for looks........only the screamin eagle customs that were 30k, looked like anything I would want to ride. That's the problem with Harleys........stock they look terrible and have no guts. They purposefully build those engines so that you're pretty much required to drop another 5k "at least" to make them go. That may have changed now that the twin cams went from 88 to 96. But they ONLY did that because Victory was making their 95 that was blowing Harley's away. Now a stock Victory comes with a 100 ci engine so they're still walking away from stock harleys.

And you can't tell me that a stock Hammer or Vegas just looks so much cleaner than any stock Harley. If someone "gave" me a harley........before I even rode it I'd be having the tank, side panels, fender.......all redone to have smoother lines. The victories just have more appealing lines to me.

Word

No Motorcyle fan would dream of owning a stock Harley and being content with that. Stock harley's suck, which is why pros right away start modding them to kingdom come.

Having a stock Harley screams "Hi! I'm a Rub, and I bought this to impress my neighbors!"

It's like being a 17 y/o Asian with a stock civic. :)

I like the Vegas Jackpot that I posted above. The Ness bikes are nice too. Pricey though...Victory is running a 2.9% and no payments for a year right now.

Actually...it's called trying too hard. No surprise at the outcome there. :sulk:
 
a casio keeps just as good as time as a rolex, actually it has better options. My yacht master is way cooler than my or anyones gshock. Harleys are just fun to own, like owning a jeep. Neither one are the best product on the market but I wouldn't trade either one of mine for a "better" comparison product. If you are a conservative person who watches his money don't buy a rolex, harley or jeep. If you are like me and just want to enjoy them for what they are you won't regret it.
 
harleys are the retired guys gig here, not a practical bike really
might as well be in a car if you hit traffic
less than one percent of motorbike sales here are for bikes 150cc and bigger
i like the new kawasaki ninja 250,
cheap, economical and easy to sqeeze through gridlocked traffic

lol, yes i know the harley crew find small bikes hugely amusing but if you're on a big bike in the city you just sit there slowly dying of carbon monoxide poisoning, i see those guys wedged in behind the exhaust of a bus or truck everyday, as much as i'd like the power of a bigger bike it's just not practical

well I don't think you will find very many daily drivers on Harleys. You might find one or two but they probably aren't doing it in the city. I'm with you on the small bike, when I return to the states I will ride some kind of four stroke dirtbike on the road for daily drives. I have a harley, a jeep and I'm buying a sports car. None of those make nearly as much sense as driving a small bike to work.
 
Call the Old Grump crazy but he DOES ride his bike to work from Hurst to Downtown Dallas... depending on the hour of day, the trip could take an hour or more. He is only in a cage when it is too cold or chance of rain.

You won't catch Harley riders cutting in and out of traffic not because they can't, but because THEY WON'T... It isn't safe. It only takes ONE IGNORANT ASSHOLE ON A CELL to NOT SEE you...

We ride with another couple and all four of us came *this close* to death because SOME BITCH (with a preschool aged child in the back) who was talking on her cell and in some apparent hurry late on a Sunday afternoon felt the need to pass us on THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF AN ONRAMP (luckily My Old Grump had the forsight to pull back and let her be the near-murdering bitch she is) cut us off, then she proceeded to do the same to the bike ahead of us. Yup she cut across the lane (FROM THE RIGHT) to nearly clip the front of his wheel.

Another thing you will never see a Harley rider do: ride on his rear wheel doing 100 mph in the HOV lane for several miles.

I thought so and I was in the market for a new one so it worked out, I can't wait to get it.

I'm sure you are a bit more traditional than this but my night train is in getting the 103 kit put in it and I really like the look the wrapped pipes. I already have the same big radius pipes but don't want to ceramic coat them. Don't you think it would look SICK if I wrapped mine in black with and left a little chrome hanging out the end(like he did black) and added the savage rims from my other post?

Those rims are kick ass! I like chrome, but that is a personal preference. If you were to black them out and have some chrome on the end it would look pretty cool too.

Hey you'll get ZERO arguement from me that a large percentage of peeps on bikes are menaces: the peeps that zoom in and out of traffic, the peeps going 110 MPH, the peeps on their rear wheels using the highways like some sort of stunt show...

But the diff is bike against minivan, who you think is gonna win?

i know what you mean but Im the type of guy that just wants a production bike with a nice manufacturers warranty so all i have to worry about is riding and not fixing. I also will get harleys VIP maintenance package or whatever its called where i just bring it in for servicing at 1000, 3000, 5000 miles, etc.
 
There is NOTHING fun about riding without a windshield. 'course I don't always wear my helmet so I guess if you are going to wear a fullface shield the point it moot.

I know you guys will laugh at me (the Old Grump just rolls his eyes up into his head) but like cars, the bikes all look the same to me. :whatever:

Yup I have to say, I am a pussy about riding on one wheel at 100+ but then I am 60 and still alive.

Be safe, ride well and live till you turn 30. The first time you go down is a real eye opener. Or an eye closer. One is permanent and one just hurts for a long time.

be safe ride like you want to see your mom tonight.
