Got a Harley

[ShaneG_old]

I went and got my new toy for the summer the other day, economy be damned.

1982 Harley Davidson Roadster 1000 with a drag kit!

Not the best looker around, but it's a real one, and boy is it loud!

I went looking through a HD catalog today for various addons (old habits die hard ) and I now believe that HD really stands for Hundreds of Dollars.

Sorry for low quality, these were taken with my cellphone.

I assume you'll be spending most of your nights on the couch after Mrs. Shane finds out...

[ShaneG_old]

She was the deciding factor in this one.

It was either this, or a new computer built for FSX, and she preferred this, as it's something we can both enjoy.

Going to use her camera to take some better shots later.

Nice ride Shane, my kind of bike. LOUD and FAst!

[BigTruck]

Can't wait to get mine!  Nice ride man, all that matters is that it is LOUD!  ;D  

[Sir_Crashalot]

Not my kind of death trap but have a lot of fun with it Shane.....

Crash (V-Twins rule the world...)

Very nice bike! Harleys just look good!

Now you need that t-shirt... saying... "if you can read this, the b*tch fell off" on the back...  ;D

Nice, but I'm afraid I'm more of a Honda and Kawasaki man myself

Lovely bike there Shane, One thing you could look into for it is a set of "slash cut" pipes for added loudness

[ShaneG_old]

Ozzy: If you look in the second pic you can see my Suzuki 850GS Full dresser (sort of)

Nemo: hard to tell from the first shot, but it has them, slashed un-baffled drag pipes! The neighbours hate it.

A fellow over the road from where my mum lives has a "screaming eagle" with straight through pipes on it... Can hear it coming from a fair distance away... also the same with his Dragstar 1100 .

Take it easy on the bike

Are you intentionally trying to get Foz going ?


I gotta stick with Paul, Mark, and now Andrew on the sportier look ......at least wear good head gear when you ride, and not the traditional beanie...

The bad part is this bike was built for speed. I just want a cruiser, but the price was right.

The bike originally came with a 1000cc stock, but has been warmed over to 1200cc and has a twin coil ignition system, high flow drag pipes, the only Edelbrock motorcycle carburetor I've ever seen, and a few other non essential items. :-/

Most of my work will be undoing all the speed stuff.

I've had the sporty death traps, now I want a loud cruising death trap.

Which is why I am saving up for that soft tail, nice sunday rides with the wife
