Holy smokes, I just looked at all the mods Z did to his bike. I can see where he gets his experience from but that's just a bit far for my mind. Glad he enjoys doing all of that and it looks like fun but a bit over the top. FLIR would be cool I reckon. He sure does have a bunch of bikes and was glad to see a couple Harleys in the mix. Guess I'm not as out there as much as I thought and I'm seeing more and more H-D/Wing owners.

Thanks again for the post!

I would hang up my helmet throw my boots in the trash and rip up my MC license before i would own another Jap bike.

Thats my story and i'm sticking to it 

Well its it "Jap " stuff ya don't like, start taking everything off your bike thats not made in the USA, then see what ya have left!  While your at it, check out the tags in your motor cloths and toss those out too.  NOT banging ya at all, just saying it's a global business community.  To be honest, I don't even know where I stand on USA non USA made things anymore.  I use to be nuts about it, but maybe it's my age or being tired of fighting a battle I just can't win anymore.  I hear guys at the shop banging Jap bikes then see them pull up in a Toyota Tundra,  so thats OK but not a bike.  I guess we all just  like to ride and at this point and time, HD is our favored brand....  well, now I'm exhausted from trying to figure out all the ills of our world and am gonna pour me a beer! Ride Safe, Often, and as far as ya can brother!

Not brand loyal there either!  Just looked in the frige in the garage, a few Fat Tires, Sam Adams, Mongoose IPAs, an old Coors lite (don't know who slipped that in), looks like of few my nephew made, a bottle of Apple Corn and a few cans of coke.  Come on over and have one!

When I bought my first Harley back in the 90's I had been riding Japanese bikes since 1965.  I got caught up in the patriotic "Buy American" fever and decided to buy an "American" bike.  It didn't take long to figure out that a lot of the stuff on that bike was made offshore, as was most of the junk sold in the motorclothes and accessories boutiques being added to all the dealerships.  Fast forward to current times, and we see that Harley has followed the lead of so many other "American" companies and outsourced more and more components while still waving the American flag in the ads.  And if you wander through the boutiques these days, you are hard pressed to find anything that isn't imported from the cheapest possible source and then sold for top dollar.

When the Goldwings were being assembled in Ohio they had about the same amount of domestic content as a Harley.  And the Goldwing design came from the Honda USA folks, not some guy in Japan.  So an argument could be made that the GW was every bit as "American" as an E'Glide.  If someone prefers to not consider a Honda, fine.  Fortunately we still have some freedom of choice.  But anyone who blindly refuses to consider a bike from any company other than Harley due to country of origin is missing out on a lot of excellent products and is also paying more for less IMHO.

Tommy, you riding the GW demo yet?

 

 

Just got back from Athens GA where I picked up the GL1800 for the test ride.  Left Athens and went to Helen, Blairsville, Clayton and back to Athens.  200 plus miles on two and four lane roads.  Some straight, some in the mountains.

I was most impressed by the speed and how well it handled.  A much quicker-lighter feel than the Ultra.  The main reason for the ride was to see if I would be good with the seat/foot position since I'm 6'1". 

The answer is NO!
 

I'm not sayin' I won't buy the FB6, but if I do it would have to be a weekend bike, not a two-three week tripper!

Sounds like I need two bikes!
