I love the Road Glide. If I had bought new, that's what I would have got. I found a used Ultra and ended up with it instead.

Finally, an accessory I don't want.

And someone had a post title that said "LIVE NUDE WOMEN"!

2011 Venture!!! http://pictures.topspeed.com/IMG/crop/200711/yamaha-royal-star-ve-15_460x0w.jpg

I am one they lost recently. I seriously wanted to buy a Venture mainly because of this group, but the fact that Yamaha doesn't show much interest in the bike made me lose interest. When I buy something new, I want something different. The fact that they haven't even bothered to change the cassette player tells me they are phoning it in, so I bought a Harley.

Ditto!

That's pretty cool. I'm amazed at the inventiveness of some people.

I would ride them. If it has the whine, you'll hear it. I wouldn't worry much about abuse. It's hard to abuse an RSV. They have a rev limiter, and you can ride them wide open all the time and it doesn't seem to hurt them. Just look for obvious things like broken plastic high mileage etc.

I test rode a new Wing at a Honda/Yamaha dealer, and they offered me around 5,500 for my '05 RSTD. If you get a good offer on your trade, they are making it back on the price they charge for the ride you're buying. They aren't going to sink a lot of money into something they don't want.

Stupid ain't fixed by riding a bike. Just look up "motorcycle crash" or something similar on Youtube and get get proof of it.

That might be possible Eck. I'm not sure what time we'll be done pulling inventory tonight. If it's before midnight, I'd be up for it. Let me know when and where breakfast is. We would love to meet you guys if we can.

A few weeks ago I set up a test ride at the local Harley dealer. They were supposed to email or call me to confirm. They did neither. I still haven't heard from them. I ended up buying a used one off of Craigslist.

Eck, It figures, it would be the one Friday night I have to work. Maybe he can come though.

A new member here jpbragwell1215 came by the house today. He rides a Tour Deluxe. We had a chance to compare bikes and talk a while. A really nice guy.

Yeah, I've noticed a lot of guys on Harleys have scarfs on their head with a long gray pony tail hanging out the back. I told Karen I will have to look for a clip on pony tail for the weekends and maybe a few iron on tattoos. Just so I'll look the part.

UPDATE: Thanks to you guys Troy Savoie is coming through!

People freely gave money to Bernie Madoff too, and he lied about what he was doing with it. According to the law, that made him a thief. -
I don't understand the above post. It takes about 10 minutes to change oil on the RSTD. A lot of people use Rotella 15W40 oil. You can't use car oil because some of the additives can make the clutch slip.

Need Root Canal - there goes my money for safety chrome!

A couple of years ago I had a tooth go bad due to "resorption" I think they called it. I had to have an implant/crown, and it ended up costing me $3000. I kept thinking about all the tools or accessories I could buy for what that 1 tooth cost. -
That's awfully nice of you. Really it's not that slow though, even though the rider might be.

It doesn't matter where you ride when you're on a bicycle. You'll still piss people off. I rode to work a lot when I was younger and trying to work through grieving for my son. The only time I felt any peace was when I was doing something physical like running, playing basketball or riding my bike. I could be riding on the edge of the blacktop giving cars plenty of room, and they would run me off the road, yell obscenities, throw things at me, or pass me and immediately make a right turn in front of me, causing me to have to slide my tires to keep from hitting them. I would have thought motorcycle riders would have been a little cooler about it than what I've read here.

I agree Bobby. I like to relax and enjoy riding. I rode one RSTD that sounded like the Jetson's car. I passed on buying it for that reason.

I hadn't seen this guy since high school, but the thing that got to me was that he was exactly where I would have been on my way home at about exactly the same time, if I hadn't taken a detour to the local Harley shop. I knew him when we were kids, and he came to the house to look at a bike we had for sale a couple of years ago. I was at work at the time, but my wife talked to him and let him ride the bike. The road he was on is always slow moving due to traffic. Especially at that time of day. It can happen any time. Be careful out there. It was a red Harley, and my wife got a couple of calls from her daughter and a friend asking if she had talked to me that evening (Tuesday) so she called me to make sure it wasn't me. http://www.wbir.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=131720&odyssey=mod_mostread

I'll probably need some help. I don't even know how to change the oil in this thing yet.

I come from a poor background, and have struggled to get by at times. At one time, the only thing I owned was a junky old S-10 pick-up truck and was trying to raise 2 kids. During that time, I never took money from anyone and I never lied to people to try to get ahead. I say all that just to say that in my mind, being in a bind is no excuse for taking money from someone and not doing what you say you're going to do with it. -
I was 15 and didn't have the money to fix the rear brakes on my Kawasaki 90, so I would stop it by down shifting to 1st and popping the clutch. The back tire would slide me to a stop. WAIT, that's not the dumb part! The girl who lived across the street from me had invited the whole cheerleader squad over to practice in her front yard. I came home on the bike, turn into the driveway and pop a wheelie. I ride the wheelie almost to the end of the driveway, bring the front wheel down and down shift to first to stop, problem was I down shifted to neutral instead of first. I pop the clutch and it felt like I sped up instead of stopping. I rolled through my parents carport, into the utility room and stop when I hit the washing machine. The cap on the gas tank catches me by the genitals and my nose on the window sill above the washing machine. I was so embarrassed, I opened the window and climbed through it into the back yard and laid in the grass until I could walk again.
