Great bike, Dan! Used to ride a buddy's BMW in Louisville, they are sweet.

Taking the bike to the gym today for the second day in a row....just happy to still be riding in Chicago in mid-November.

At 61 the cost of comfort gave way to age. I don't know how I made it this far without Gerbing on my six. Rode 70mph, freeway x 200 miles, last week with temps running 36* to 39* - Gerbing (Rocky boots and thermal bib overalls) made it a pleasant ride. Never had a 3-hour sub-45* ride that left me smiling unless I looked like the Pillsbury Doughboy.

And 30-years living in NC has made me a cold-wimp.

Congratulations on the new scooter, Dan!!!

I haven't rode a BMW since I was a kid, all of 30 years ago. I was used to riding Hodaka's and Kawasaki's in the dirt, I remember being shocked at how a motorcycle could ride like that with so much power. I was in love with that thing, I used to shine it up for free just so I could be around it.

Bringing this thing back to life.

Bought a new helmet the other day. Here it is hanging on my bike.

Here is my 09 Sportster 883 custom. Need to get a new pic I put on new pegs changed out the air filter cover, the timing cover and the derby cover. Thinking about getting a new bike already. (2013 Wide glide)

Thanks guys!

gbum · 07-15-2013, 09:18 AM

im wondering for those who choose to buy metrics instead of harley... in Malaysia... own a harley is an ultimate dream for each easyriders... but the price is freaking expensive... 883 iron will be MYR84k(usd 26k)...

so im wondering... why metrics? price wise? or other factor...

Fordman4ever · 07-15-2013, 10:10 AM

I bought mine because of price. I was a poor Airman new to the Air Force and I paid less than $5000 for my bike.

Remo · 07-15-2013, 10:19 AM

Soooo, my best buddy at work decided to up and leave me to go to the Motor Squad, I have kicked around being a Motor for years, but never committed due to all the dog and pony stuff they have to do i.e parades, funerals, special events etc. on top of that all the tickets and DUI's which equals lots of court, which is good $$$ but I have no time for that much court.

But maybe this fall I will go to the school and see how it goes, we have gone from Harley to BMW.

A few, the Harleys are a classic, they kept a few for special occassions and one for our police museum but I think they decided that for police work the beamer is function over form.

Fordman4ever · 07-18-2013, 11:12 AM

Anybody need some stock HD parts? My wife has been all over me to get rid of this stuff, so if any of you harley guys need some stock parts, please take a look at my craigslist ads. I will ship, price will include shipping.

Thought I would get in on this... Ducati S2R 800

Fordman4ever · 07-18-2013, 03:13 PM

sweet looking bike.

LasciviousXXX · 10-15-2013, 11:21 AM

I figured I should post as I bought a new scoot this weekend.

2013 Fat Bob w/ Stage 1 kit and upgraded Vance & Hines pipes to match the matte black. I've been wanting another Harley for years and it just turned out to be the right time. I've been toying with the idea of naming her Nigella but I'm not 100% on it yet. If I do go with that name it would be the first non-p*rn star name for one of our vehicles EVER! All my previous bikes/cars have been named after my favorite entertainers. Maybe I'm losing my edge in my old age

One more shot
