Awww, c'mon Sue. I thought it was kinda sexy for a Sportster.
They had a pretty positive write up in cycle world this month about
the XR1200. Up side is, unless you're a world traveler you won't
have to look at one often. According to the HD press release they'll
only be available in the Europe, Middle East and Africa regions this year.

Sorry Sue but I'm on the other side of the street on this one. I've tossed a
lot of rocks at H-D but I really think they got this one right (well close
to right). There might be a change or two I'd consider after I rode it for a
while but bottom line is I'd like to get me hands on one to keep the RK
company. I hope they sell the hell out of these.

As almost always I agree with Wayne. I think they got this one right.
There are some stylistic nit picks I'd make such as the
MartyFeldmanSignatureEdition Mufflers and maybe still more power but all
in all for a factory bike I like it a lot.

I don't mind the mufflers so much as that totally obtrusive oil cooler
hanging off the side of the frame. Could have put a little more effort
into the placement of that thing. Just a little more effort.
I'll throw in a me too here. Love to ride one.

Q: Why is topposting frowned upon?
Hey Pete
Nosign of the ne heritage, it must have been a red herring to throw
off the cyber sleuths.
BTW, any word on the snow run for this year?
I'm with you. If they bring that to the US, I may be tempted.

thanks! and not sure if a date was decided, Les, Terry and Wally have
weekends they need to avoid.
Are you on the TOMKAT list? there's been some talk there about the
snow run, les ownes the list if you not already subscribed.
You know Slugs, they just start showing up, "no plans, no salt"

Nice copy of a mid 1980's Honda.
> Nice copy of a mid 1980's Honda.
Which Honda would that be.
And don't say the Ascot.
I wasn't thinking of the Axcot but now that you mention it, it's a
good comparison. So's this: http://www.hondacb900f.com/images/cb900f1a.jpg
Drop a V-twin in it and change the seat and wala!
(Except the 80s CB900 would probably smoke it...)
Just because it is a narrow V-twin with flat bars and...
Wife had a VT500 Ascot. Liked them better than the FT500's.

Brother has a 750 F. Same as what he had in 1980.
The 750 and 900F's are farther away from the Sporty than the Ascot.
Close but no smokey.
But I understand what you are saying.

Yup, sometimes we show up, play in your pool and drink your beer when
you're not even there.<sfsf>
Hey, Lynn's working Sat, so I'll be home tinkering.

How 'bout that<g> its a funny thing comming home, seeing some empties,
and a beach ball in the pool, sorry we were not there, the ride to
town took longer than *expected*
Ya know *thats* why the beers are where they are.
Had a good time at the movies, not what I expected, the crowd, or lack
of a crowd for the biggest movie in years, to show up 10mins before
the show and still be able to loiter<sp> in the lobby 5mins before
buying tickets. Small towns, ya gota luv 'em

MY kids used to make fun of the screen size, but since then they've
upgraded the sound and seating. I don't mind going there at all, now.
It's been so long, I hardly remember how big the old style movie
theater screens were, but I do remember the seats were unbearable
sometimes, with a herniated disc I was wondering if I'd make it thru
the whole movie, but the seats were great and the movie was good also,
only thing was how Christian Bale (Batman) choose to disguise his
identity by changing his voice, you'd think if Bruce Wayne had all
this money for R&D and all hose cool toys, they would have had some
gadget under his mask disguise his voice for him, but all in all it
was entertaining.

You and Lynn. I wish you'd get over the voice thing<g>. Even Michael
Keeton changed his voice when he put the suit on.
It's part of the disguise, I tell ya.
