My H-D was $7k OTD in 2001. Bought it late in 2001. And even it had an electronic speedo.
. . . and 38 horsepower
But I'm sure it looks mahvelous!
Never forget that it is far more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow.
Camping in Baja...
I guess some people like motorcycles... and some people like to complain. I like motorcycles.
I washed my XLH once a year whether it needed it or not.
I washed my XLH once a year whether it needed it or not. The combination of dirt and magnetic tank bag marked up the gastank pretty bad--spent quite a few miles off the pavement.Bronson, is that you?
<snip>Great story. Reminds me of several different rides. Normally, my "group rides" are 2-5 riders, friends who have ridden together for a bit. On occasion the group gets expanded. With groups of 8-12 and overnight rides, it seems that stuff like that is inevitable.
My explanation was that it required far too much concentration for me to ride in a group that size, too much like traffic, and I hope you all understand. And that is the truth. I think you could say that I have had The Harley Experience and saved $50,000.

In my defense I wouldn't know the difference between a XLH PLH ZLH POS or what ever the model of HD your were talking about.
If you like Harley Davidson products, good for you. I would think you would have enough common sense not to bash a Kawasaki product on a Kawasaki forum.
You did notice this was a Concours forum right?
I had a Sportster. I loved the bike, but I rode it too much to be accepted at the local bar.
36 with "Super Thunder Garage Dog God Power Pipes..."No, those were modified stock headpipes with slip-ons. On the rigid XLs, the stockers with slip-ons can be made to flow better than anything except for the supertrapp 2-2 high pipes.
