1995 Ultra Classic 14,000mi bought new....there is only one color...my favorite

yesterday I took my friend to get his new 2004 Fat Boy at the "House" I got to drive it too, nice to be trusted.

Karen Davidson (Willie G. daughter) graduated 1 yr before me at our high school. She is in my yearbook. Boy did i miss out on that one. (Big "S" on my forehead)

Willie G lives 3 mi from me.


MGDrinking team: where do you boat? what is the name? I live in Wales.

Yeah, bad scene, Fever.
Gets no fun in a hurry when you're on the raw end.
Words don't do justice the the horror when I heard.

And not minimizing the dangers, there are still a lot of us fools that continue to ride.

I've lost enough friends and acquaintances in bike fatalities than I care to count. Some due to racing/practicing but most due to Granny in the Buick or Jethro in the pickup.

It lurks out there for all of us.

In the meantime, the pix of the H2 makes me want to go to my bud's house and ride his '69 H1 with Denco chambers (he also has a first year H2). A real eye opener when you remember how fast people thought they were, and how well they handled. Now, they are about as fast as an SV650, they DO have a hinge AND a "pogo" mode, and while the brakes are respectable for a "shoe" brake, they fade rapidly and are pitiful in comparison to any modern brakes. Amazing how times change.

fever mike,
you are sooooo right,, we need to preach to the people that havent fallen off so they are wearing correct equipment if or when,,

i raced with a guy from san francisco yrs ago and his dad lost his left leg on highway one along the coast here. he after that rigged up a handshift it worked really good and he is now prob in his mid 70's and as far as i know he still goes every sunday on his rz350 yamaha for that sunday morning ride.
you know what u could do is get a cool british bike a nice comando 750 or 850 as rt shift and then u move rear brake to the bars and have thumb rear brake..
just some thoughts as if u miss it go for it...

IRONMAN,
Sportsters are nice, my wife has one. I'm not saying they're for girls, though. They were the original base bikes for choppers, which came into popularity right after WWII.
I've got a 1990 Low Rider (FXRS) rebuilt from the ground up in 99 and again in 2004. I also have an 02 Road Glide.
My wife's Sporty was taken apart and put back together to look like my Low Rider, with a Fatbob tank and bobtail. I'll see if I can get some pix on here.
Yeah, bikes and boats seem to go together. Too bad summer's so short up here in the North.

79 four speed frame, 114'' shovelhead (5''stroke/3 13/16 bore),Delkron cases, S&S wheels and rods, Jims lifter blocks and roller rockers, Axtel barrels, J&E pistons, Baisly dual plug heads,Pro flow oil pump, custom made push rod tubes, more machine work than I care to mention, 5spd trans.,PM wheels and brakes, Karata 3'' open belt drive, Barnett Scorpion clutch, high torque starter........WAYYYYY TOO MUCH $$$ in to this thing, but it does run VERY hard, surprize Mr. Twin Cam Duce (she's just a stock shovelhead)Haven't dyno'd it in the latest configuration but it made 115 to the rear wheel BEFORE we got the motor sorted out.

Sure your not!!!!!!!!!!

Its alll I could afford and I though it would make a good first bike.

Also I have riddin 600 f-4 and 954RR...... both of which I am glad I got off of alive.

I have very little self control and not to say that you can't fly on a harley but it is whole lot easier on a sport bike. I stood the 954 up doing over 90 and I didn't mean to. I took it directly back to my friend and told him to never allow me to ride it again.

I love to ride and I bought the Harely so that I could cruise up to the boat and pop around the lake.

Thanks to everyone for all the responses. I get to picke the bike up on thursday I'll try to post some pics.

Downtown42 04-26-2004 08:52 AM

good luck and enjoy...sport bikes will get one in trouble.

Boats are still better. There are no rules off-shore, kind of like America used to be. :drool:

Here's a pic from the harley web-site. Same color and all.

I am going to put drag bars and a few other upgrades on it as soon as I decide where to start ....pipes...saddlebags....chrome.....new front wheel...grips.

Ironmanwb 04-26-2004 09:01 AM

I agree sport bikes are awsome, fast, responsive and just plain cool but I know my self control or lack there of would just get me in trouble on one.
