Been riding this same bike for 30 years now, still puts a smile on my face! Of course crazy drivers don't bother me, I transport cars for a living, so I have seen it all! eek Have fun, but be always one step ahead of the idiots...

Always had crotch rocket type, but that all changed in 2005 when my Dad bought this new. I thru a leg over it in 2006 when he came to visit, immediately understood the HD thing and bought a Road King. The Road King is gone now and so is my Dad but I have his old 2005 Dyna that will hopefully give my son in law or grandson some day. This one has 56k on it now, a few more cubes, bigger cam and a bit of compression.

Not a bike rider but.....I always see stuff about watching for bikes(I do) and how drivers are crazy etc,etc. Just in the last month I've had a biker run a stop sign right in front of me(I had to slam on the brakes hard to avoid him) had one just cut me off on the freeway yesterday at 80 mph(he knew I was there,he just passed me!), had one pitch his cig out and hit my windshield, had a group of them hogging both lanes on a 2 lane so nobody could get around them,etc,etc. Lately it seems like they feel they own the road and motorists should just let them take over. Nothing against bikes (living in SE WI is Harley land!) or bikers but geez.....things work both ways!!

I agree completely. I rode Kawasaki's when I was young, triples and Z1900's. Had three friends die in one year in 1980, one was flat run over by a cage and the other two got drunk and stupid. I sold my Kaw and bought a an old Sportster when that happened, then quit riding for 10 years. Made the mistake of going to a Harley dealer with a new friend who wanted to get a new Heritage as his AMF bagger was falling apart. Couldn't believe how H-D had upgraded over the years and bought my Softail in 1990. Half the riders are as bad or worse than cagers nowadays. Real tired of the new clown bikes, the ones with 30" front wheels and bags that come to a point and drag the ground, true posers... tsk

Welcome to the HOG family. Been riding motorcycles for over 50 years. Live in Michigan and have traveled through 42 of the 50 states. Hope to ride to Alaska next year, if health holds out. The wife likes riding as much as I do. Put 100,000 on the last Harley, so went out and got a new one 1 1/2 years ago. RIDE SAFE.

Those 114's are just torque monsters, I rode one once and that was enough, I don't need another payment...LOL

Glad you're enjoying the Harley! I've ridden since 1965. Japanese bikes mostly, and over the years got pretty heavy into large displacement sport bikes. Even had a Triumph hardtail chopper for some time.

Still got 2 Suzuki TL1000R's, a Buell 1125CR, older Honda CBR1000, Older Yamaha FJ1200 and Kawasaki ZX12R. Like them all.

Couple years ago almost on a whim I bought a really clean Harley 883 and I absolutely love the bike. I never thought I'd find myself saying that. I do refuse to wear chaps or a bandana.


Lead, follow or get the hell out of the way

Hummm… do old antique Harleys count? I never wanted a Harley but I have always wanted a Sportster. I ride a 82 Sportster xlh 1000. kinda old and slow compared to todays Harleys but it ran from 82-2018 before I rebuilt the engine/trans and just now rolling 9,000 miles on the rebuild.

I am sentimental with it for several reasons.

In 1982 AMF sold/changed back to Harley Davison.

25th anniversary of the Sportster XL line.

I was 18 & graduated in 82' and I got married in 82"

I have been looking for a new ride when I retire soon and I just cant do new. I am looking for a 82-84 shovelhead FXR to ride next.

I have been gathering parts for a chopper/bobber build and have frame/title & 75% of a 84 Sportster xlx and ordered a hardtail kit/springer front end. ridged looks cool but ride sucks so I have also thought about a Harley trike.

but again looking at all the newer styles of trikes and conversions I just cant do newer.

I have looked into Harley servi-carts and think I would love to do one of those up chopper style. lots of choices with them being around from 1937-74 with everything from a flathead 45 to a knucklehead/shovelhead FL engines.

so a chopped out shovelhead servi cart added to the bucket list.

BUT... if I had to pick a newer one I guess a 2003 Heritage Classic 100th Anniversary model would be the one.
