Congrats! I was trying to find some used Road Glides to look at when I found my Ultra Classic. I really like the shark nose!
-
Yeah Slick97 I have AT & T. It's OK in Knoxville, but when you get out in the boonies you can forget it.
-
I've had an i-phone for 2 years, and I love it. I haven't had any problems at all with it.
-
Hey rentalguy, what part of Tennessee are you in? I just switched over to an Ultra too. I'm in Knoxville.
-
I wouldn't want one, but if I saw it sitting somewhere I'd have to give it a walk around.

Thinking of purchasing?
eazyduzzit replied to cruser635's topic in Royal Star and Royal Star Tour Deluxe Tech Talk
I just sold an '05. I didn't like the look of the instruments at first, but after I got used to it, I really liked it. Some of these bikes have a noisy whine, and others are not so bad. I tried a couple until I found one that didn't have it. They're pretty tough bikes, I never had any problems with mine, but my wife and I were looking for a bike with more luggage space and a fairing. -
Nice bike! I don't understand why they quit making Valkyries, I love 'em.

I went from a RSTD to an '08 Ultra. I rode an Ultra last year and really liked it. I had heard so much on this forum about Harleys vibrating that I was blown away by how smooth they were. They vibrate at idle, but even my wife commented that the Harley is smoother riding. Things that I like about the Harley are the better braking, better low speed handling, sound system with rear speakers and dual controls, V-twin sound, quick release saddle bags. The RSTD has better take off, but they're about the same on the hwy. The RSTD is easier to change oil on. One thing I don't like about the Harley is the attitude some Harley riders have, and every time you stop for a Coke somebody wants to talk to you about the Harley they had 20 years ago, and sometimes I just want to go.

Short answer is no, the RS doesn't ride rough. There must be a problem.

I recently bought an '08 Ultra. To me the ride is perfect. My wife even said the ride on this bike is much smoother than the RSTD. It does vibrate but only at idle. The low speed handling of my Ultra and the better braking are 2 of the reasons I bought it. I found out after I bought it that they improved the frame in '09. Since hanging out some on the HD forum I found that for a few years Harley had a piece of crap timing chain system that had to be replaced at around 30K or it would come apart. They make upgrade$ for it. The dollar sign S was intentional. I was fortunate that I bought a model that they had fixed it on. I think an '05 twin cam might fall into that category. I would definitely check it out with someone smarter than me before you buy. The exhaust gets hot on a Harley, but it did on the Royal Star too. With than said, I think if you ride it that you will love it. One of the great things about owning a Harley is going to the Harley forums and talking about how great you Yamaha was. The Kool-aide drinkers will almost blow a gasket if you even mention that any other bike is fun to ride. Their standard response if you ask what is so great about a Harley is "If you have to ask, you wouldn't understand."

Mel, I ran into the same kind of crap on a Harley forum I am a member of. I still come here even though I no longer own my RSTD.

I've had my RSTD on CL for a few months now. It's at a reasonable price, and people will call and say it's exactly what their looking for, then I never hear back from them. I've sold lots of stuff on Craigslist, but not having much luck with this bike. It's a really nice bike too.

You may see us (and the scoot) in a soup commercial

I saw it last night. I wasn't paying much attention to the TV, and it was over before I realized what it was, but I was glad to finally see it. -

I saw a split second of it. I just happened to glance at the TV and it switched over from showing soup to you two riding. It looked like she had her arms stretched out to the sides. -
Yeah, I took the safety training too. When I'm riding, I always look in my mirrors at red lights until I have a couple of cars cushion behind me. I saw the Jeep coming this evening, but it was just in my peripheral vision. I was surprised by it.
-
Very sorry for your loss.
-
I haven't found 'em all I'm sure. It took me 30 minutes to find the garage remote.
-
That's what scares me about it. I saw it happening in my mirror, but I didn't think quickly enough to pull forward.

I ride the bike to work most days, but luckily it has been cold here for the past month. Today I was headed West sitting 1/10 of a mile from my house, making a left turn onto my road. I had to wait for a few cars going East, so I could make the turn. A Saturn pulls up behind me and as he's stopping, a Jeep slams into his rear, knocking him into my rear. I was pushed forward a car length or more, and it knocked everything off of my sun visor and all of the pennies out of my ashtray. This was in a Ford F150. I called my wife to tell her I'd be a little late getting home, and when I told her what happened, she said "it's a good thing you weren't riding!". As soon as she said it I thought my knees would buckle. I hadn't thought about it before then. Be careful out there!
-
Don't let her run over you. I don't know you, but I went through a divorce and I know how you can be taken advantage of when you're hurting and just want to get it over with. Mine was 20 years ago, and like the others said, I have moved on and remarried. I wish the best for you.
-
Yeah, that's why I changed brands. I wanted a new Venture, but every year was just a rehash of the year before, and the year before, and the year before...

I forgot to say that he is here in Knoxville, TN.

I hope this isn't off topic. This story really touched me, and I know there are a lot of ex military people here, and a lot of classic car lovers. This story may be of interest to both. This guy is raffling off a 66 Mustang fastback, to help with his bills. The deadline to contribute/enter is tomorrow at noon. http://johnfourniquetcancer.eventbrite.com/
