Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
On the TW200 forum I'm on, there was a guy who once wrote, about handlebar wobble going downhill, "I thought the slowest bike I have ever owned was going to kill me."Originally Posted by Bailey Guns

I test rode a v-rod back in 03, was running 105 and still accelerating when I reached the exit ramp. There was a LOT of head room left.
I like to think the sheer weight of my Road King will probably kill me no matter how slow I?m going.
Just a shout out: It's tire season, and Dunlop is running rebates of up to $60 on a pair of tires and ANY labor (including tire installation) when purchased for a ProDealer, so if you guys need shoes for your mechanical children, let me know. If the Mods have an issue with this, please delete or move as appropriate!

Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
Thanks for the reminder. Mine could use some new tires any time now. May have to swing by when I get a chance.
Kazoo once told me many many years ago:
?What?s all that speed without class??
I?ve owned over 20 rockets and they just aren?t as appealing to me anymore. Something about being able to ride in comfort and still have some speed is more appealing then going 100mph+. 1/4 mile times are going to be similar but stop light to stop light, it?s hard to beat two jugs.

My grandpa was bald and rode and restored Indian motorcycles. He once told me that if he was a Harley guy, he'd probably still have all his hair.
Why are motorcycles and ATV's so expensive? I've been browsing Craigslist and people have stuff listed at stupid prices. I saw a 1979 Honda 185XLS (NON-RUNNING) listed for $850! I used to have one of those bikes. That thing is worth like $200. I hope so at least, because I traded it to a scammer on here for some work on my Amigo back in the day.

The older Japanese bikes are getting expensive. Guess vintage stuff is just cool and collectible. I built a cafe racer out of an old KZ400 years ago and had maybe $700 into the whole project. When I sold that bike I turned about a 300% profit on my investment. Thought I?d do another one like it a few years back but finding a reasonably priced bike was all but impossible so I lost interest.
I?m still always kind of keeping an eye out for a cool vintage dirt bike project.
Have you priced out a new bike or ATV? That is why the used market is so high just like cars.

I don't even bother to look at new stuff because I know they all cost more than I'm willing to spend on my normal vehicles. The cost of Razors is astounding to me.
