The Harley Thread

I bought a new toy! 2006 Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic...

ToronadoXP · 05-22-2006, 09:45 AM

Damn bet that was X-pensive! Congrats on the new family member. Keep the shiny side up.

polonyc2 · 05-22-2006, 03:16 PM

nice Harley!!

you shoulda given the American Chopper guys a call...maybe they woulda hooked you up with a free custom Chopper....

Bofinn · 05-22-2006, 04:31 PM

I'm waiting on a custom order for matching helmets...

I never knew they made modular helmets, using the Smart Lift tab swivels the entire chin and face up - turning it from a full face to a 3/4 face!

Drufuss · 06-20-2006, 08:32 PM

Here in europe they are doing this for years, maybe decades now.

Or do you explicitly talk about the "Smart Lift"?

I haven't rode a bike since 1996 so I'm a bit behind...

Drufuss · 06-22-2006, 02:59 AM

Anyway, nice bike you got there.

I like the looks of the Harleys, but i wouldn´t swap it with my BMW R1100R.

Excellent bike. I drove it one the race track several times (you can bank in corners more than you´d think by looking at the big cylinders), stable frame, excellent suspension (i love the Telelever-Paralever system. Once you tried it, riding a chopper fells like riding with two big rubber balls instead of tires)

Travelled to ireland, england, france, spain, italy with it. Drove 200 kmph on german highways (with girlfriend, two side cases, backpack, big bag and a tent)
Even after a long day riding many hundred kilometres you feel relaxed, nothing hurts.
(If you really want you can mount a windschield on it, but i think it looks ugly.)

Greetings

185 lb man + 860 lb bike + uphill driveway

I was backing my bike out of my garage but couldn't turn around as far as normal because my girlfreind's van was in my driveway. When I went turn right and go downhill in the driveway it fell over on it's right side.

Only go a small scratch on the cruising peg and a small scratch on the bottom of the side luggage. You have to lay on the ground to see the scratch.

I got lucky!

There only 2 types of motorcycle riders.

Those who have droped there bikes. (I am in the group)

Those who will.

Lets just hope that all drops as as small as yours Bofinn. My 94 Dyna is loaded with scratches from the same kind of stuff. (The beer had nothing to do with it

just ask my buds)

I think I figured out your problem...Was the last bike you rode a combination? if it was then always remember to put your foot down when you stop! Alternatively just pick it up and spin round with it :idea: Oh how much does it weigh again? This thought came to me after I lifted mine off the ground earlier....
