  1. I had a 71 Triumph Bonneville identical to your friends in the mid 70's had no Idea it was capable of 200 plus. Modified mine for the flat track love the sound of those twin cylinders in a hard pull coming out of a tight turn. Tuff motorcycles.....
  2. Don't know about the condition of your dogs and cats but for a good night sleep put the pin back where it belongs.
  3. As Roy and Dale would say, "Happy Trails to you until We Meet Again".
  4. Be careful with the chrome chevron piece or better yet get someone who has removed it before . Reason the little tabs are easily broken---just use little pressure and work from center out.
  5. I enjoy doing those not so pleasant tasks at this age knowing that this is more than likely this will be the last time in this life.
  6. If the center is rubbing that sounds to reason being it's height is 65% of the actual width of the tread as opposed to 60%.
  7. I sure miss Dan, with all respect to his family does anyone know the pending result or cause of his accident? Originally they said it could be medical and it was being investigated. Just not the same on here without Yammer Dan.
  8. They don't call it "Wacky Weed" for no reason.......
  9. The only thing I see that he probably doesn't need is the extra helmet hanging on on the side. But, maybe someone could ride up top side next to the reserve red gallon and half gas can. I actually envy this modern Day Explorer free and full of adventure seeing enjoying as you travel this beautiful land.
  10. The shame of it it's a wonder she didn't take that sword and put it where the sun don't shine or rap them with that wine bottle.
  11. All the comforts of home,,,just going for a three day cruise.
  12. Prayers are up will be thinking about your condition. Wife, who has Afib. And a heart monitor implanted since January is adjusting just fine. Anyway, theirs a lot of us riders who are organ donors... just keep in mind you have options.
  13. Cowpuc I was just making reference to the Pledge of Allegiance was adopted by Congress in 1945 and added Under God in 1954 those people being part of the Greatest Generation. We all should remember the Native Americans paid a tremendous price for us taking over their land.
  14. You know we owe a lot to "The Greatest Generation".
  15. Harley stroker's have a longer stroke and larger cylinders. It's hard too replace displacement for torque and power.
  16. It's just Harley's way of making and keeping their company G R E A T!!!!!
  17. I've all but quite ordering tires off the internet just on account of crap like this happening. Peace of mind of seeing the tire before it's mounted is worth what saving the internet yields or the aggervation of processing a return.
  18. Really great pics. Don't see much work or maintenance going on though. Guess everyone kinda aged out exploring maintenance issues and rather sit talk and chill out.
  19. Clean your main ground lug and reattach it to the frame. 12 volt electrical problems most of the time are tracked back to faulty grounds.
  20. Go as fast as FEAR will allow believe me your bike can handle speed. I had an 05 Venture that was an Adrenaline Pusher and I hate too say this a "Harley ego buster".
  21. Not so much defective paint as it is cheap quality paint.
  22. The Springfield Blue paint on my 14 Indian Chieftain was about the sorriest paint on any bike I ever owned. Notice after riding about a month even hard shell bugs left nicks in front fender. I think they use old acricllic enamel paint on their bikes. Anyway, got rid of that noisy lifter hard shifting Polaris Indian never to go back.
  23. This is really hard to take in .... Dan from what I've read here with his responses to threads was the real deal. He will be sorely missed. My heart goes out to his family. RIP Dan our friend.
  24. Contractors and salesmen are just like lawyers they all took Lieing 101 in School or College.
  25. They also are installed in Harley's but under HD's name of course for that extra hundred dollar bill. I buy mine at batteries plus exact same AGM battery for 90 bucks.
