Guess what, you should get a slim! Then the third time Ill post the picture, it will make more sense

 

I like my "softail sportster" though. I've always been a fan of stripped down bikes. I wanted another sporty but I'm just way too long and lanky for them. I had forward controls and forward tilted z bars on the nightster and while I found it comfortable, you could tell my frame was too big for it. Dyna would have been perfect but my decision to get back on 2 wheels was right when Dynas were killed so here in SoCal, the market skyrocketed on every beat to shit dyna that was out there. It's calmed down now, but I still look around. The softail is awesome and fun to ride, but I'm obviously not completely satisfied because I'm still looking at bikes.

 

Thanks! Still have a little more work to do but I am really liking the progress so far. Plus, and most importantly, it's a ton of fun to ride.

This is a 2002 - still carbureted. I'll get the measurements for you tonight, though.

DAMMIT and I just ordered my sissy bar yesterday. Guess I will have to buy something else...

 

$$Cha-ching$$

Helmet was $499. I made an offer of $475.
$499
-$24
-$71.25
---------
$403.75 for a Shoei RF-1200!
I'll put the $4.75 Ebay bucks towards the Denali Lights the next time a discount code comes around.

 

Nice, can't wait to try mine out! You might get to test it out before I do

65 today. Rode in to work. Every time I ride it, I’m reminded of why I wanted it in the first place. (That’s what she said).

I think I’ll keep my bike.

 

I want all of the bikes!

 

Me too. I found a GROM on CL with 250 miles on it for $1800. Almost bought it.
Then I remembered that I was too lanky for a sportster.

 

What is the top speed of them Groms? Never really looked into them.

 

I dunno. Half way between meth head and drunken cheetah. I don't think they're freeway legal so without looking it up I'd say about 50mph.


Edit: (looked it up) 62 mph but you're probably revving the shit out of the little 125. What do you want for 134 MPGs?

 

Something wrong with my KTM 690, but can't quite tell what it is... I feel like it's missing something

 

Lol still faster than my TW200

 

Buy it. I am 6.2 and I rode one it was a blast. Yes steeet legal. I think 60 mph. That price is cheap.

 

I'm 6'1", but I'm built like a spider monkey. I totally would buy it but I'm currently expanding my shop and that money would be better spent on tools that make cool toys.

 

Been a while since I last went on a ride, but felt good to get out. I love this spot, I always have the whole place to myself.

 

Damn. I could get the Saddlemen seat today for $390 shipped using the ebay code...

 

Just waiting for Spring...

 

Love that color combo
