    Darn right. Here's my private number: "911"

    I was thinking that maybe the harleydoods there had your backside covered.

    I am not a harleydood dood, nor do I hang out with the like...In fact I don't like harleydoods or the attitudes and such that goes along with that persona. Stupid Really! I hope Indian gives them, Harley a run for their money!! About time they get some competition, not to mention the accessories priced out of this world!! Screw all that!

    I knew you'd feel better getting all that off your chest and those harleydoods off your backside.

    Are they really calling some motorcycle an Indian? That is not very PC unless these Indians are made in India which makes it OK IMO.

    Wouldn't it be funny if the bikes were called Indians here and Eskimos in Canada?

    Something that has been on my mind. I would like to apologize to EVERYONE for my language and disrespect that I showed to the forum community attacking BB the way I did. I am so sorry that is not me. Really I like to make people laugh and joke around and stuff so please forgive my ignorance and vulgar language that was displayed in my fit. It will NOT happen again...I am so over him.

    Shouldn't you ask him first? I know that threeway stuff is popular in some circles but the polite thing to do is ask first. He seems so angry and is sooo into acting the bad boy the whole thing could become a problem.

    If this is a go, can I bring a camera setup? Will y'all be on those his and hers Harleys?

    Oh my! Now your SO thinks I am in Mexico. ADD maybe?

    Nobody knows what's fast until they've ridden it. My fastest were ZX-11, V-Max, and 1200 Lawson specials Yamaha tuned, with hot cams.

    When you guys get up to "speed" and back off, how do you back off? Do you slow roll if off or just let go? On my '99 when I get it up over a 100 I find it's hard to slow it down just letting off. The engine has so much torque it start to dive if I let off the whole way. If I just ease off, it just keeps going and I don't slow down quick enough. I I think if I upgrade the suspension it would be better. I don't do it often....OK, maybe once a day because I just can help myself. The damn thing just wants to stretch it's legs all the time. It's like a horse that just wants to run.

    Please accept my apologies. I didn't have you in mind when I wrote that. Is there any way I could make it up to you? Something from the Harley boutique perhaps?

    My bikes like to gallop along at 110 or so, its just the American farking way down here. Traffic is at 85+, so bgeing on an uprotected vee-hickle you have to be over the cages speed, fine line of being over aggressive and passive. My viffer has seen 150 mph less than 10 times in its 80,000 mile history with me and its a 1991. It does go 130 mph every time it goes oot though.

    Far as traveling to Germany goes, I took a car to the Nuerburgring and did a fast lap. Pretty amazing facility actually and if you get a chance you should do it! As far as driving on their roads, as :crazy: as it sounds, I ride a bike faster in the states. Of course, I don't have the "wife-regulator" driving/riding with me...And note to self, they have speed cameras and I do know people that lost their licences and got heavy fines. So be happy your in this country...
