Things I'll never be able to live without again...
« on: March 31, 2004, 07:41:46 PM »

After about 6 very happy months of SEEG ownership, I've decided every bike I ever own again will have to have these minimum requirements:

1. 103 cubic inches (can I get an "AMEN!" )[smiley=beerchug.gif]
2. Hydraulic clutch (man, is that baby sssmmmoooottthhhhh, or what?) [smiley=2vrolijk_21.gif]
3. Trick, no-hassle, dazzle-your-friends built-in garage door opener (yeah, you can otherwise velcro your Sears remote to the inner-fairing, but it's just not the same) [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]


Of course the SEEG does have a few faults (key word is "few" here):

1. Supremely innacurate, although very, very cool-looking gauges (does anyone know if the tach is somewhat close, at least?!?)[smiley=nixweiss.gif]
2. Half-a$$ed part-chrome, part-rubber oil vent line (what is up with that for crying out loud?!) [smiley=confused5.gif]

What about you guys?

Your're Right!  This is the one subtle feature I like.  On my RK, I always used the TO at fuel-up.  Now I can do it AND have something to measure an overall trip.

Tunes, nice to have tunes when touring...not needed for bar-hopping but really nice on long trips.

Just race them! [smiley=6.gif] (if their old enough). I was washing my bike after a long road trip this past weekend and some neighborhood kid was scewing around with his crotch rocket while I was wiping my bike down. Well after a few flybys by this little creep, I fired up my RK minus bags, shield, and trunk; poped the clutch and did a full burnout in first long screetch in second; and hauld ass right past the little @#it. Course, my excuse was that I was just blow drying my bike [smiley=laugh.gif]. Accomplished what I set out to do..... shut the little bugger up. All he could say was "I did'nt know those things were that fast". [smiley=bigok.gif]

Hey 103T!  About the half-asses oil vent line...I agree...the funny thing is HD makes a full chrome vent line p/n33111-02 $39.95. that was one of the first things I changed.  PJ

A funny thread.....kind of slipped off into faded memory over on page 5.  Some of you newer members might find it amusing.
