An older friend of mine has a green stain on is garage floor and it has a polished finish. His garage is cleaner than my house. It is a smooth finish, and if a drop of oil gets on it, he just wipes it up with a rag.

There's a Corvette museum just south of Mammoth Cave. There was a storm moving in when we were there, so we got out of town, and didn't visit it, but it looked like it might be interesting.

HD Ride for BBQ - Comparison and Evaluation of HD
eazyduzzit replied to RedRider's topic in Watering Hole
Being a Harley rider, I have to share my experience. First, the cruise does have a cancel. It's not labeled but you twist the throttle backwards and it turns off the cruise. Second is the seat. My seat is stock. I've put about 20K on the bike in the two years I've owned it, and it's the most comfortable seat I've ridden on. Third, I don't understand why Harley makes these things shake at idle, but anything above idle and it's much smoother than the RSTD I had before I got this bike. My wife is also more comfortable on the Ultra than on the Star, but I'm sure the Venture seat would have been better than the Tour Deluxe. I know 2 identical bikes can ride and feel very different. My RSTD developed a buzzy vibration you could feel in the handlebars, and I couldn't get rid of it. I tried multiple carb syncs and tightening bolts, new tires, weighting the ends of the bars (like the stock bars). When I test rode the Ultra, it was like a Cadillac. And last, I had the reach problem on both bikes. I put the longer Flanders bars on the Royal Star, and Harley has a touring pullback bar that I spent last weekend putting on this bike. To sum up, I don't think anyone makes a perfect bike. If they did, everybody would be riding it. I don't have an tattoos, or wear a doo-rag, and Karen and I usually ride by ourselves instead of in a pack, and i don't like the attitude that a lot of Harley riders have, but I really like the bike. -
The people watching from the sidelines are awfully trusting.

is the the begining of the end & things to come

I like it. I'm glad they're at least making an attempt at a new tourer. -
The sad thing is, they have the makings of a great bike. It has all the niceties like stereo, CB radio, V4 engine, easy to service, 5 year warranty, Great looks. All they would have to do is add a little touch here and there, like EFI, removable lower fairings, redesigned air cleaner(I never liked the looks of those air cleaners), updated stereo and you'd have everyone on this forum fired up wanting one.

I always heard that Harleys vibrate really bad, but was pleasantly surprised when I rode one. It vibrates sitting and idling, but as soon as I'm moving, it is smoother than the RSTD I had.

So your screen name is "Yammer" but you have a Honda and a Harley:think:

I haven't ridden, so I'm judging it strictly on looks, kind of like I judged women in a previous life.

I don't like the Victory. From some angles it looks OK, but from other angles it's ugly IMHO.

BJ66 I love the Roadglides Ultra. They're a nice change from the Batwing fairing bikes. Buckshot, I'm glad to see another Ultrarider here.
-
OB-1, I really like the midnights. I'm a fan of Goldwings and Venture, and Valyries but it looks like Yamaha has all but abandoned the Venture. I'd like to see them and Valkyries revived.
-
Yeah, I was looking for a bike with full fairing, trunk, stereo and rider/passenger communication. I test rode a new Wing, an Electraglide and a Venture but I was really looking for used. I found this 2 year old (at the time) Ultra at three grand less than most people were asking at the time. It was low mileage and like new. It's a great bike.

Just wondering if there are other Harley riding members on this forum. I had Royal Star Tour Deluxe before I bought the Harley 2 years ago. I realize there is some Harley bashing that goes on. I've probably even done it myself, but it doesn't bother me. I know all bikes have their benefits and drawbacks.
-
Oh, and thanks for the comment on the new bike. Karen and I are really loving it. It's the most comfortable bike I've ridden.
-
Thanks Don, you're right the avatar is what I was trying to change. My brain doesn't always work as it should.

Wouldn't work for my lab. He's a big guy!

Hi all, I just rejoined this forum. I bought a brand X bike and started hanging out on a HD forum. Anyway, my little brother bought a Royal Star and I thought I would re-join since he'll probably show up here eventually. My question is, I changed my profile pic to one with my current bike in it, but it doesn't show up when I post a comment. It's still showing my old picture. What am I doing wrong?

I love it! Nice bike! -
Scarylarry, I didn't mean to badmouth your bike. I'll have to say, my friend who owns it says it's the best bike he's ever owned. His last bike was a red '08 Venture though. It was more to my liking.

A friend of mine got a new Voyager a year ago. On our last ride together, we swapped bikes for a few miles just to see what the other side was like. I was very unimpressed. It felt flimsy and was noisy. It just felt very cheap. The only new bike I've ridden besides the new Harleys that I really liked was a Goldwing.
