Hey Du-Rron, The V-4 is a great engine, even with a Ducati. I love the sound of my V-twin Harley. The smoothness of my 6 cylinder Honda. But the V-4 of my old 03 RSV had the best of both worlds, power and sound (with fishtails). Truly missed ol "Sweet Thing", 03 RSV, someday again, but next time in a trike.

Thank You Leroy, Marcarl, Randy, Cowpuck, and everyone! Think I will take it slow on finding a RSV Trike Unless a Super deal comes along, you know garage find. The 88 gl1500 with a California double sidecar is set up great and raked. Maybe some relocation improvements to shifter, brake and handlebars, I might like it better. I do enjoy it, and Grandchildren have a blast. I could always trike the harley, but it is under powered to me without a trike kit. All I know is the Mrs and I truly loved the 03 RSV. Still is her Favorite bike of all times. Later-

Hey Leo, your right about that. Been thru many bikes, of my last four the wife thought the 04 v-star 1100 was okay, then she Loved the 03 RSV. After accident went to a lighter bike, a 08 harley heritage, she didn't care for the ride. Then to current bike of 08 harley ultra, Charlene likes it, but not as much as the RSV. So, time will tell, and correct I will diffently take your advice and go used. Have fun, Later-

Guess I should have made mention that because of my past injuries my knees are not the greatest and I get some numbness in hands and feet, also lack of strength in my back. But, the only problems I really have is riding with wife on and especially fully loaded trips. It is difficult at a stop light on a steep incline, or slow moving. I have not tipped the bike over, but have come close, think experience has helped me. Before I spend the money on a trike I am going to start a workout routine during these winter months. But thinking that either way down the road I will have to Trike or go a much lighter bike. Thank You-

Thanks Bill, I need to do pushup and some situps for sure. Used to prior to injuries, then I couldn't until healed, and never regained that habit, but Thank You.

Leo, thank you for the reply, that is a Awsome looking trike! Not sure in Michigan you can go 65 mpr on highways, get run over, they go 75-85 here. I think Trikes look really cool, always liked that look, well, love all motorcycles.

Cam-am's are nice, but not sure if it is for me. Have few friends that plan on buying them in few years. lol, Mentioned to my wife yesturday afternoon I am checking out the gym. Cannot run, due to back, but I Diffenently need a Exercise program. I had a lighter Bikes in a v-star 1100 and Heritage and enjoyed them, but momma did not, so went larger.

Hey Trike owners, when did you know it's time? On Monday this week sat on new Venture, 950lbs. Asked wife if she wanted to get on, said No which surprised me, she Loved our 03 RSV, her Favorite bike. But, I believe she seen me struggling with the weight. Though well balanced, the 2018 weights 100 lbs more than our 08 Harley Ultra, that sometimes I struggle, especially two up, fully loaded. Put a double sidecar on Harley for grandchildren, but the bike worked hard. Last fall bought a 1988 honda goldwing gl1500 with double sidecar and it moves, fast. Will admit it is easy getting used to not worring about weight. But, I don't really care for the style of ride on the wing, I am more of that laid back 70's style, like on the RSV or Harley. No sob story but in 09 fell out of tree stand 23', re-broke back, and my wild younger years is catching up. That's part of reason selling RSV, going to Harley Heritage, then a few years later back to a dresser in the Harley Ultra. So, I think I am ready to suck up my pride and realize if I am going to continue riding in my later years I will have to Trike or Sidecar. Been looking, a Hannigan Trike RSV in Blue or Burgandy sure is beautiful looking. What do you all think?

Either two things, let's go for a ride or bla, bla, bla, bla and your in the dog house, lol

Oh yea, have to love those lucky 40 degree days in January. I went out to barn to fire up bike and tractor, next thing I knew was up the snowy driveway and heading to town to fill tank, lol.

Steve, shooting a AR15 sounds like it would have been alot of fun also today, instead of Venturing down the road (lol). Thanks for the photos and awsome informative video, really enjoyed them. Stay warm, Later-

Lol, with the roads being what they are, they wasn't to eager to let that pretty shinny motorcycle leave the show room. Said to Ray, the temp wouldn't bother me, I put on a 250 mile day at 7 degrees, road many times in cooler weather. Guess I will wait until spring for a test ride.

Hey All, Well, when the low temperature was down to -20 today in Northern Michigan you have to do something for fun. Drove down state today to check out the New Venture. Ray at Stevens Cycle was Courtious explaining everything to me about the new Venture, then said my favorite three letter words, you can "Fire It Up". Same as gentlemen "Start Your Engines" to me. Wow, nice sounding bike, and man does it ever have All the Equipment anyone would need on a touring motorcycle. It was the beautiful color of Raspberry, like my 03 RSV. Very Great looking with lots of storage, especially in the trunk, and Heated Seats, etc, etc, etc., oh man I may be in trouble again.

Hey Scott, been awhile, hope all is well. Hope to catch up with everyone someday, Later-

Funny guys, Thank You all, and nice to be back.

Hey all, been a few years since I was on this site, so what did I miss? Freebird was Courtious enough to save all my information, and it was really cool seeing old pictures and reading old post. Looking forward to catching up with old friends and making new ones. Have fun, Later-

Our Condolences to you and your family.

Sorta have to laugh, a new Yamaha Venture is Air Cooled V-Twin, and a new Harley Ultra is Liquid/Oil Cooled. It is like they called each other to switch engines.

Had that happen to me a few times. Make sure it is not stripped out, both the seat bolt and nut. Then use Blue Locktight, worked great for me. Later-

Congrads on the Grandbaby. We also become Grandparents again on 9-5-13 to a Beautiful baby girl, Haley, 6 lbs 8 oz. This is our 9th Grandchild, wow they grow fast. Later-

Hey, on a different post I said wouldn't trade my 08. I may have to eat crow, after looking at them in person, with all the changes. Now, all I have to do is hit those lucky numbers on the lottery. The new Harley hit a Home Run. Later-

Hey, several months ago was planning on going to the 110th party, but to much going on here. Wish I was, have many cousins near the Milwaukee area, all Goldwing Riders. Later-

Our Prayers and Blessings.

I've been told by many, that the new updated 2015 Roadglide will have optional V-Rod Liquid Cooled Engine. Now to me the V-Rod engine is a awsome engine, but to most H-D Riders it is Not a Harley because it Does Not Sound like a Harley. I agree that Harley has the best sound, but those of you that heard my RSV with Fishtail Pipes would also agree it was Awsome. I had so many more compliments on my RSV than I have on my great looking and sounding Harley. Just my pennies worth. Later-
