rwmagnus Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Stew, I had a Wideglide that was apart more than together usually getting performance upgrades so I hear ya loud and clear. When I went to the current ride (HD-RV) now it's wash it, gas it, ride it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sterling White Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 This is how I like to spend my non-shooting time! Guess I'll just ride this - 02 American Ironhorse w/107 But would rather be riding this - HOTTTTTT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
short_round Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 But would rather be riding this - My thoughts exactly. The chopper would be fun too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oddjob Posted August 4, 2004 Author Share Posted August 4, 2004 Getting the Road King Custom this month and now my wife wants a Sportster!! New one of course.... This little idea for the RKC is quite a bit more expensive than I thought!!! The kids think we're nuts.......... I'm gonna have to drive it to a few matches. Might have to get a Dillon bag for the bike instead of using my SC bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscbigdawg Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 my wife wants a Sportster!! That's not a Harley! (Just 'cause it says it on the tank, don't make it so). Rich P.S. Sterling - (quote from T2, "Say.....that's a nice bike." ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2tap45 Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Sorry to trash up a Harley topic, but I don't think they'd mind a photo of 37 year old Brit iron. My '75 RD350 will whoop it, but sometimes stylin' makes up for speed. Besides, it is no slug either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jveg Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Previous-> '94 Suzuki GS500 Current-> '02 HD 1200 Sportster Custom. Speaking of the 2-stroke Kaw-triple, about 10 years ago someone near me was pretty much giving away a basket case Kaw-triple. My dad worked in a Honda( / Harley?) shop in West Chester, PA back in the 70's, so he got to see and ride some different bikes. So, I figured he'd at least know something about it. I can still remember the day when he told me about riding a Kawasaki triple. He had an weird, pale white look on his face while relaying the story even 20 years after. Those must have been some kind of monsters...I decided not to buy it after seeing him react like that. BTW, nice Triumph, 2Tap45. Clean, classic iron. jveg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squishy Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Current bike is a Yamaha V-Star 1100 Silvarado. I love it. When I am not shooting and the weather is good I am gone riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2tap45 Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 usc and jveg, thanks for the comments. It's a '67 TR6 that my dad bought new to use in enduro competition (because his XLCH was getting too hard to kick start in the cold mornings-no batteries nor electric starts on the old CH's). The Triumph always started first kick. The Harley air cleaner was great for the creek crossings and Ceriani forks helped a lot, too. None of the other Triumph riders in town knew he secretly had an 800cc cylinder kit installed (he just never got over the Sportster torque climbing hills). The TR6 could do 100 mph with trail gearing during those "friendly" backroad duels. Since then, I had to sleeve it for 750 pistons to run the mild gasoline we get nowadays. Family heirloom; will keep it 'til I die, even if it kills me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
