sandman Posted July 25, 2013 #1 Posted July 25, 2013 Got the new clutch spring in and went for test ride(over to friends house). Had coffee and we decided to go to town to get my proof of insurance. I lost my saddlebag cvr and my proof was lost. On way Friend jump on it as we rounded a corner. I didnt think he would attempt to go by me. He did and it caught me off guard. I was in third in bottom of rpms. Rolled it on as he went by, only to get past by a bike length at wot. Left the machine in 3rd and its getting its legs, as I rolled past him on rite side I wave a sarcastic by by while he is going thru gears and running out of rpms. I grabbed 4th and by then he was to far behind to measure. I know its just a harley, but its still fun. The machine 1, softtail custom with 94hp dynod-----zero. Glad he didnt do it yesterday

JohnT Posted July 25, 2013 #3 Posted July 25, 2013 As long as you didn't break the speed limit. Mike WOT in 3rd on a 1st Gen. That will twist even Texas speed limits. And dust a Harley it seems. He must have mistook which gear he was in. VR riders are a law abiding and respectable bunch,,,,,,
sandman Posted July 25, 2013 Author #4 Posted July 25, 2013 Absolutely law abidding, and on a closed corse by professional drivers.
SilvrT Posted July 25, 2013 #5 Posted July 25, 2013 Came up beside a guy on a 1st gen the other day. Quick chat revealed he's running a V-max motor and pumpkin. Couple stop lights later we decide to have a little fun so light turns green and off we go.... By the time we get to the next light (much further than a city block.. maybe more like 3 or 4 away) he's STILL a dot in my mirrors ....
bongobobny Posted July 25, 2013 #6 Posted July 25, 2013 Hmmm, from what I can remember from the specs, on a MK1 the top speed in 3rd was 96...
