Dont look if you dont like Harleys

[throdgrain]

I put some new bars on me bike.

I fail to see how anything could be more awesome

 

[old.user4556]

That looks the fucking bollocks. That matte black paint against the chrome is awesome.

What's the spec of that (engine size, cylinders etc.) and how fast is a bike like this? (0-60 times).

 

[throdgrain]

Cheers mate

It's a 1450 cc twin cam v-twin, with Vance and Hines exhausts and a stage 1 Harley ECU upgrade, dunno about performance, it's not really aimed at that, it does however have enough torque to pull a house down, which is why I like it

At 30 mph in top gear you can just about hear each revolution of the engine, through them exhausts which are pretty loud.

Does it sound something like this?

Edit: I just found this:

AMAZING Harley Davidson Sound - AWESOME sound - YouTube

 

[throdgrain]

Not exactly like either, but more like the second one

 

[Roo Stercogburn]

I'm not really into bikes but that does indeed look rather cool and classic.

 

[Lamp]

Thats lovely that is. I wish you many years of happiness on it.

 

[caLLous]

Does look classy.

You just wanna be Mickey

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Your indicators are a clear sign of a homosexual rider.

 

[throdgrain]

Closest I've found is that it sounds like this -

Isn't it a Dyna they use in Sons of Anarchy with straight handle bars?

 

[throdgrain]

Yeah a lot of them are, some softails too. Dunno about them handlebar fairings they have though

 

[Appollo]

Mmm i like them

 

[Appollo]

I wanna be Jacks :england:

 

[Ch3tan]

I wants your bike throd

 

[Raven]

One seriously nice bike.

want.

 

[throdgrain]

Heh, it's great innit

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Apart from the indicators. And I mean that, are there no better ones you can get?

 

[throdgrain]

Those are the standard indicators. I like them.

In my job I see loads of bikes, and the first thing anybody ever does is take off the good standard ones and put on some tacky cheap crap mini indicators in the hope of "customising" thier bike.

They always look worse to me

 

[Wazzerphuk]

So you have a choice between default or cheap ones?

Surely someone does good ones?

 

[DaGaffer]

Just can't feel for the love for Harleys, sorry. Really want a Monster 796 or a Street Triple; much more my cuppa tea.

 

[throdgrain]

Street Triple is a worthy bike, bit small though. Speed Triple better Monsters are made mostly out of cheese and stuff.

 

[Deebs]

Throd,

One day come to my house with a spare helmet and take me out for a spin, I so want!
