**** bro, i've been running all over. usually on the car show nights i'm either at my buddy's house, the bar, or at a females house hahaha. but ssshhh don't tell anybody that last part.

 

Congrats on the new bike, you won't regret it. I bought mine almost 3 years ago and it is very therapeutic. If you guys are down to go riding let me know. I typically ride west and northwest of Houston. I love going out to Carlos and Plantersville...

 

one of these days we might organize an LS1tech ride. maybe in the spring time when the weather warms up a little?

 

I really like the harley Nightriders.. those things are just sick!

 

I'd be down for that

 

yeah i'll start thinking about a date and time then try to gauge intrest and get something started.

 

awesome weather today.

 

Too cold! haha

How's she ride?

I took mine off the trailer and drove it up the driveway and into the garage Tuesday.

My dad likes the Texans incase anyone was wondering.

 

too cold? haha thats what layers are for! i rode on the freeway the night i picked it up but since then it's stayed under 45 which isn't bad at all in 50* weather. and it rides great, low center of gravity so its super stable at low speeds. throttle is incredibly responsive even at low rpm(duh harley). being new to the bike i was able to hop on it and with in five minutes or so was completely comfortable with the controls. couldn't be happier with it.

 

Its cool when it works out that way. I felt the same way about my bike. I bought it sight unseen from Jersey, but I had been saving up for about 2-3 years so I could afford it. Patience saved me about $16k. I am down for tech ride or anytime, lets do it.

 

A ride sounds good. Don't forget to post it up with a little advance notice... this way we can get a sitter and make a day of it.

 

haha you're into that big money stuff

well idk how willing you guys are to ride in the cold, but i got a buddy coming in from 29 palms california for xmas. i planned on riding with him and a friend or two for ***** and gigs. will probably be around the 23rd.(weather permitting)

BUT if not(and more likely), we'll set something up after new years once all the holiday hooplah has died down. i'll start a thread around x-mas to see how many riders there are and who can attend. and we'll go from there.

 

My girl will be in town for the holidays so we'll be out riding. Im from nebraska so cold is NOT an issue, its called leather boys!

Pics as promised

right after i got it, stock pipes, stock seat.



1700 miles, V&H Sideshots, 48 seat.

 

^how do u like that 48 seat? i'm torn between the 48 and a spring seat.

 

Those straight pipes sound good but you're losing a lot of torque since there's no back pressure.

 

^not true. if you want me to explain it i will later. but im way too tired right now.

 

^^ lol, definatly not true, the straight shots are just as good as all the 2 into 1's, because underneath the black covers they have a crossover. Mine are baffle-less and sound AMAZING, while also making awesome power. I am, however, running super rich (shoots fire at night) do to not being tuned nor having a heavy breather.

I wanted a springer seat but didnt want to cough up the dough. So i bought the 48 seat for $50 bucks brand new. At first i was bummed because it was REALLY hard, but after about 200 miles it softened up alot and now i love it.

I also love eating my buddies 06 636 ALIVE from a dig, however he flies past at about 140 lol

i havent lost an 1/8th mile race yet, and i didnt even buy the bike to race.

 

Congrats man. I am normally not much for Harley's, but that bike looks really good.

 

I was referring to Brian's pipes not yours. I know all about your straight shots since I have big shots with the power chamber on my low rider.

It's been proven time & time again on the dyno by the guys in the V-Twin Forum that straight pipes sacrifice torque for sound. Many guys in that forum know more about Harley's than you & me combined, so even though you think it's humorous it's true.

 

What's the 19 for? Did the previous owner race it?
