nahhh, just letting you know i'm not a lurker

[iski]

Thankyou for your welcome. I too take great pride in my bike, after all it's 60 years in the making. I might not have realized when I was first born but in me was a gene that made my ass wanna be on a Harley seat. My Dad rode a 80" flathead. So after My Uncle Sam was through with me and taught me a great deal about how to be anti-social it was only fitting that I would follow that path. Harley provided what I was craving. A bunch of likeminded folks. Several years and a half dozen Harleys later I found myself making a living working on what others were good at breaking. My new FLHTCUSE3 is a reflection of years of struggle to ride what I feel is the best motorcycle in production today! Yes when I ride it I ride it with pride. It gives me prestige because it is all I've ever wanted. I have achieved the greatest wealth. It's paid for, I'm retired and no I won't be putting it on a trailer. I live in my RV. It moves to NC in the spring and to FL in the fall, other than that it does not move. I have no 4 wheel vehicle and haven't for several years now. I feel free in saying my ass has done it's fair share of miles and I ain't quitting anytime soon. So whoever wants to try to try and spit their toebacky in my eye better be good cause I'll be flying down the road without a care.

Russ, officially I have no idea, since I'm certainly no official, but those who choose to post nonsense weird criticisms to those with less than 50 posts in a manner that is usually reserved for those who have 50+ posts, get a form of probation.  I was on a super secret probation, then  removed from that, then placed on a list and some other secret probation, and then I stopped posting here.  So far that seems to have helped. So this is not a post. 

Sounds like you are having a great time riding.  Enjoy the site!

Glad your here you ol goat!
I like experience and it seems you have a little.
Where in NC you live?
Do you carry your bike in the RV when you travel?
The best advice I can give you about this site is that you will get a lot more out of it than what you put in it.
(at a rate of 5000 to 1 you will never give as much as you get)
You will also make a lot of new friends that share the same passion of riding as you.
Now how can that be bad?

I told JD this past weekend, We need a bigger garage. She put her foot down and said NO. I thought about it, and said, you're right. We already have a 3 car garage. You could start parking outside.

That went over.....badly.

It's your approach Ken that needs a little polishing!
Try this,

"Cheri (honey baby)
Instead of leaving the bikes outside and letting them get so dirty, bring them into the garage so when you wash them it won't take away from your time cooking my dinner. Leave you car out and I will take it to AutoBell once a month."

How am I doing Ken?

One step closer to getting me single again.

ride mostly alone, I have a 14ft all aluminum garage that can occasionaly be used for transporting. go to www.rallyattheriver.com. I knew nothing of the rally before I moved my chit there.

[HogBreath]

Russ, you're welcome here and I admire you're not afraid to go against the grain. I take insult that both of my head gasket leaks are my fault. I ride hard, but, I don't abuse my bike. I drive trucks, cranes, and heavy equipment, so I know exactly what you're trying to say. I simply disagree with it. I've ridden many miles with the people on this site. I've developed some great friendships here too. One thing I've found out, there's a lot of knowledge amongst the members about HD motorcycles.

Take a chill pill and relax and get to know some of these people. You might find you enjoy our company.

[Russ2yall]

ok ok I'm chilled and yes I take my chill pills daily. I never meant to offend anyone and I most of all sympathize with the problems y'all have. The point I was trying to make is that I really believe Harley had no business getting into the performance end. All this I'm reading comes a bit late for me. I now have to deal with it. Think about it, how can we have expected to buy a 110 performance machine so cheap. Yes cheap! go to the AHDRA races and talk to folks about what they have invested in their motors. We paid a whole bunch for all the chrome and radio chit. Now that is no excuse for Harley. They should save some face and either get out of the business or be serious. The latter I could never afford. As far as all the bikes in the past? well I guess they were built better although the evo's had their share of problems( i.e. cases cracking, cylinder studs stretching). The shovels? great engines! too bad there were so many back yard mechanics out there. Harley should be much better today, the advances in oil, metal compositions etc. But those things can't make up for bad engineering. Yea when mine breaks I'm gonna fairly pissed off, hope those chill pills I take can handle it.

By the way Hog breath. I never said it was your fault. I was trying to get a feel of maybe these 110,s were made for old farts like me who don't want to go anywhere to fast as we're heading to the grave fast enough. If one wants to build a performance engine then their is no half assed way to do it. Yea do ya think there might be some misrepresenting going on. That was the road I meant to take. My shop built many performance engines. Very few failers and if there was it was my error. Most performance parts manufacturers do a fine job. i.e. Delkron, STD, andrews, dyna to name a few. I just don't see where harley can compete. Remember the days when dyna ignitions were not allowed at AHDRA events but the same module made by the same folks but labeled screamin eagle were good to go. Harley needs to honest enough to know their limitations and do business accordingly.

GOOD AIN'T I!!! Your welcome my friend
