YES, you have done it again!

The front seat controlled ejection capable pillion is voice controlled.

It is highly tuned to engage operation upon two voice commands.

#1 voice command to set off operation of ejection pillion  "FTF".

#2 voice command to set off operation of ejection pillion  "FTW"

This was suppose to be a surprise! So much for that!

   



I'm so sorry  , I am such a maroon.

That's ok, keeping with the silver and black theme some think I'm a SB.

That's ok though, unless it's BB talking I really don't listen!

oooh, I just go so dis'd.  Nice job !

 A reliable source at my local stealer told me that all 2009 touring bikes WILL have B motors in them !!!!

That's an idea I'd never considered before.  Has there been a cry about vibration or other differences that are part of the B platform?  Unless there's been some problem with the rubber mount design why give up the parasitic performance loss of the B motor without cause?

The mentions of styling changes are interesting.  Especially since nothing much has changed on the shape of a Harley in a long long time.  The idea of a new frame gives hope to some redesign to finally address suspension and handling issues that have been a nuisance or even a danger for an equally long time.  For the life of me I can't think of any reason to move the B motor in to a rubber mount frame though (sure some new frame isn't going to be all hard mount?).

[copout221]

He said the frames were being re-designed to accomodate the B motors. I will believe it when I see it !!!

Boy oh boy CO; that's one that just makes me go "hmmmmm?".  A frame redesign has probably been warranted for a long time.  We've chatted about the reasons why here over and over and over again over time.  The aftermarket has a host of devices that might not be needed if they finally got suspension locked down.

But a "B" motor in a rubber mount?  Form needs to follow some function or logic.  Is Harley trying to narrow it down to one engine model line to eliminate inventory/part numbers?  Surely not really going to lose the rubber mounts.  Like you man; I'll believe this one only when I see it.

Seems like a backwards move for sure.

Yeah, me too.  Some things you can understand some rationale for even if it's not the most direct reasoning to justify it.  Even most good rumors have some basis in a justifiable logic as they usually come from someone's wishful thinking.  Installing parasitic loss to counterbalancers when it's otherwise not necessary just escapes me though.  Can only scratch the head and wonder...

4 more d@mn days and all this speculation will be over with.  Then we can start the bitching about what they actually did.

Looking forward to "the day."  That's for sure.  It's always interesting to see both whey they do and what they've not done.

Folks like us are far enough behind the cycle that there's little new/exciting in the add-on/accessory front for us to look forward to.  At least not from Harley itself.  So just watching the new bikes is the specator sport.

I've been interested this cycle to see that in some way Harley has been a bit looser.  Dealers have talked out of school more than I remember it ever being the case before.  It would of course be a riot if it all turned out to be bupkus as so much of the rumor has before.  But there's at least a feel of authenticity to some of it this time that has rarely been the case before.

If there's finally a lot of new engineering that will be interesting to pour over.  Loving or hating the latest and greatest paint schemes is a whole different kind of sport.  But it's fun too.  And now we wait...

And now we wait...

The powers to be are leaving Sunday and Monday to head to Las Vegas!
Don't we have members that live in Vegas that could snap pictures of Harley unloading bikes?

Suggest they wear kevlar vest in case of small arms fire if they did.   

Will offer this: frame change for FL models in 09.  Rear of bike - focal point.  Bigger tire is one guess.  Would not be surprised to see new suspension (God knows they need one even if the MoCo don't) & other than that will just wait to see what there is to see, unless somebody has pics to post.  Supposed to be a good improvement.  No FLH2o ugly radiator unless I am very badly mistaken.  But there could be a liquid cooled head.....


That V-Rod on first impression is as ugly as the first V-Rod when I first saw it, but it soon kinda grows on ya like a fungus in a moldy tour pack........
