Whatever

Not sure why I liked this post....but I did

I never said I was the brightest.....

 

Sometime in the second half of the nineties, but I'm too lazy to look it up.
Mine is a 2004 VN800 Classic.
IIRC, in 2006 they bored it out to 900 and changed it a lot...and not for the better.

I don't need a fast bike anymore...though I've pegged the speedo on the Vulcan at 120mph.
Just to see.
It's actually faster in the quarter mile than the 1500/1600 Vulcans.

It's by far the most reliable bike I've ever owned.
No handling quirks whatsoever.

 

Okay, I got all Christmas-y n’ shit.

 

I was thinking that the Vulcan come out in like 1980 or 1981 but it must have been someone else, acquaintance that had one...parked in the living room no less.

 

Can you post it in here? Bill will appreciate it.

Its the Harley "Denim" paint


Ill play the bike game. Heres my Black one.



and the .....multi colored one


Got to pick a paint job actually and get the tins sent out. Rest of the bike is about to be tore down for paint and powder.

 

Oooops

 

Done deal

 

Thanks Dave

 

Hmm...maybe

I'm speaking specifically about the 800.
It's very old-fashioned.
Carb, chain drive, valve shims, etc.
Which I can work on...the new bikes... fuggedaboutit.
No mechanic has ever gotten his grubby mitts on that bike except to do inspections.

The bigger ones (Nomad, etc)...too heavy.

 

The first year for Vulcan was 1985 so it wasn't the guy I was thinking of that had one.

 

You talk funny.

 

It worked? I was about to repost cuz the vid didn't work on my end. Lol

Nice pecs!

 

Didnt watch the video but by luck I scrolled through and caught the first bit of audio at “Take a whiff! Wheefer!” And that was all I needed!

 

Speaking of bikes, I swear sporties have killed more young guys than anything.
Too much powah + not enough experience = very dead.

I'm not one to follow the news, but Mrs Gritto does and never fails to tell me.
Just around here in the Sticks there were a couple in the last few years.
One guy, aged 19, bought a sportie and wrapped it around a tree on the way home (misjudged a curve).
Another young Marine, just back from 'Stan, killed himself and his fiancee on a Hayabusa.

When I remember the shit I used to do...
