troublemaker!

Go back to the Oslama thread!

 

I don't post there any more, since politics is for flapperjawed dooberboobers.  Somebody else must be posting there & using my screen name.   

If I was 20-25 years younger & dumber, I might consider a V-Rod, but in my advanced aging stage toward my declining years with the even faster slide to instant senility, I know that crouching like a jungle monkey with the squirts to ride a bike that would cripple me if I took it out for more than 300 miles is not such a great idea. 

Now of course that is not meant to offend or besmirch any of the fine V-Rod owners on this forum, it's just the way I see it as it would apply to me, were I a jungle monkey riding a bike......

Whenst I park my ample hind quarters upon anything like the aforementioned sickle it is like as my dear spousal unit Schmoopy said..."You look like monkey tryin to eff a football"...

It may have hurt my feeling if I had my feeling with me fateful day...

I still have run the little blue bike and l do look like a randy simeon...I think I will sell it.

A monkey effing a football is great entertainment around these parts.  Cannot tell who is having the better time of it, the monkey or the football but suppose the monkey enjoys it more....

Nice looking bike, Mike.  Wish I had a couple of them from the 70's that are long gone but not forgotten.  Bet they wouldn't go as fast as I remembered them going, so maybe they are better left to memory.

I considered a V Rod a while back for fun purposes, but at my semi freakish height according to MoCo midgital standards, riding it felt like I was mimicking a simian with dysentery.....



And BTW the HD 09's may also offer a change in the rear for the creature comforts of the 2 up rider...........but whatthehelldoIknow?

[Hugh Janis]

please clarify Schmoopy's comment....  Was said effin simeon pitching or catching?  The visual is completely different based on orientation.  Or to make it even clearer, were you the football or the ape?

[miker]

I think it was me being said ape and the football receiving the love...That is how I fantasize about it anyway...

Sounds similar to a comment a friend made about me several years ago.  I was on a solo bike trip and ran across a close friend and his wife near Cincinnati.  They were in their motor home and carry a Honda Rebel on the back to use for local transportation.  We decide to ride over to the local HD dealer.  Since there was two of them and I was solo I offered them my 02 Ultra and I rode the Rebel.  Well, when we pulled into the dealer everyone in the parking lot just stopped and looked at me!  When we parked I asked my friend if I looked that out of place on the Honda.  He said "No, but if you had a clown outfit on we could put you in a Shriners parade"!  Needless to say, they rode the Honda back to the camp ground!

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...

It may make sense in combination with the 2-part frame. The rubber mounts have been identified as the cause of unstability in many cases, hence the stabilizers added by us owners (like true track etc.) and by the Moco (most recently at the front of the first cylinder). So a new frame with a balanced engine rigidly mounted in (or with) the frame could vastly improve road stability at higher speeds. At least wishful thinking on my part ;-)

Ride safely,
Louis

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

That is a good one... We are really good monday morning qbacks...

The under the bike exhaust and other details from this rumor source ( http://www.roadcarvin.com/2009-motorcycle-models/2009-harley-davidson ) have already been made fun of here: http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=24448.msg406372#msg406372 .
