dougandtoni, your comments are based on ignorant stereotyping. You know nothing about me nor the Softail in that photo.
1) I don't drink latte
2) that Softail is pushing 150,000 km -- it's been all through North America and in Ciudad Juarez (before the drug war killings started)
3) the bike was rebuilt in '05 at 82,000 km after getting creamed from behind by an idiot Ducati Monster rider (I DID say it's slower than molasses).
4) the bike was stroked, bored, cammed, carb'd, heads done, and dyno'd at 101/112 hp/ft-lbs
5) that bike has taken me through thick and thin - mountains, deserts, rainstorms, a couple of sudden blizzards, 115 F, 28 F, and some of the most beautiful country North America has to offer. All without missing a beat.
All to say, I would not do what you have done and risk mischaracterizing you as a young video-game road warrior bravely hiding behind a keyboard as you giggle while posting snide comments. As a fellow 1C forum member, I'm sure you're an actual high-performance sports bike rider and enthusiast with a lot of life experience and wisdom just waiting for him to attain.
