My other project

[Megadeth]

Well I love my 83 naked gw but I also got a lot of love for my other project. 81 harley ironhead. Complete rebuild about done

 

[joedrum]

nice bike ....talk about night and day difference between two bikes ....that's got to be fun choice to make before a ride ...see you a couple tough guys hanging out with you

 

[slabghost]

Almost like choosing between the caddy and the pipe buggy.

Always good to have a backup!

I love the harley and when it's done it's going to be a sweet looking bike. But..... I must say it is not a long ride bike. It beats the crap out of ya after about 2 hours you want off. I rode the goldwing all over Saturday and wanted to just keep riding. I am glad I got it its a great bike and now I understand why people love them. Very well made and dependable . Have a feeling the gw is going to get a lot of miles on it.

 

[Ansimp]

Just a whole lot easier to eat up the miles. I expect our 81 and 82 Goldwings to be able to match it with my brothers 2012 Road King

I agree the harley is fun to fly around town and I like the old school feel hell I like vintage bikes . The wing is great for long rides . The girlfriend and I just took a long ride tonight on the wing she just loves it. Me too could have just kept going and going

My brother had a Sportster and we could only take trips within 1 hour of his house. He couldn't take the numb butt and numb hands after more than an hour! :smilie_happy:

He took my '82 for a spin and said it was too much like a smooth car ride for him! :hihihi:

 

[Ansimp]

Here is a Harley doing a couple of impressive short trips!

:shock: :smilie_happy: opcorn: :shock:
That's pretty funny!! :clapping:

 

[joedrum]

yep plenty of low end torque for strait pipes :hihihi: :ahem:

 

[dan filipi]

Of course the Harley won.
Everybody knows loud equals more power and saved lives :roll:

P.S. I have nothing against Harley's.
It's the owners running straight pipes to make it as loud as possible running down the main street and past my house I don't like.

The Sporty was never meant to be a road bike. It was a racing bike, one day somebody made a beer run, it's been a bar hopper ever since.
I do like the Sportster for what it is, though. With the understanding that it will never be an Electicglide.

I have heard people refer to them as a "bitch bike".

 

[joedrum]

yah when a screaning eagle blow by the electraglide they bitch :smilie_happy: I played in a band that the 6 string player had one brutal power and fun ...

 

[mwbill37841]

The bitch bike started when the evo came out . They took all the personality away and made it just another bike.
