Picking up the new toy today!
So I just bought a 92 Harley Dyna Glide this week, and today I get to go pick it up... Can't wait. Hopefully see some of the fellow riders out and around soon...

....make sure you get cardboard to put under it in your garage...
And are you a good mechanic?
Not to be a dick or completely rain on your parade, but harleys are complete pieces of ****! I work at a bike shop and they break down constantly, even the brand new ones.
In the bike world japan owns the market hands down. Reliable and excellent craftsmanship. Probably the only time I would tell anyone to buy a honda. hehe.

Oh hell yeah... I got her. Like I figured it needs its fair share of work for being an older scoot, but its mine. Hell its even cammed... Got to quiet it down a bit to actually ride late at night in the neighborhood though.
And to the guy that has to diss on the bike, how bout a nice big glass of go **** yourself? You are entitled to your opinion, but I am entitled to mine also, and your opinion sucks. Unlike some people, I modded my car because I like to build/work on ****. If it breaks, I'll fix it, thats what I do. Buying a Harley is something that is in your blood or its not.
Although there are alot of knockoff bikes that are actually fairly well priced, and resemble that of the ORIGINAL brand, there is still something in the sound/feel of a Harley you just cant find elsewhere.
/end rant.
So what else happened today? I was out for a bit at Photos for dinner. It sprinkled for a bit, but tonight was actually an awsome night. Stopped over by Boosty earlier on one of my quick plateless trips. How was strats?

I have two 03's and neither have needed anything more than an oil change.
It's usually the people that can't afford a Harley that just talk **** about them. "Brah I'd like pick my rebel 250 over a harley any day brah". No you wouldn't, ***...You just want to feel better about buying a bike with as many cc's as my go-kart had when I was 11.

Afford it? HA! Why would I buy a slow *** piece of ****, when I can spend half the money for a SUPER reliable, fast as **** machine.

I can't believe people come into a thread and just try to bash on harleys. If a person enjoys riding just and leave the opinions to yourself. Don't turn it into Harley vs. the world damn.
