    A question for the mentally delusioned

    Just what is the top speed of your Harley? While I was vacationing in Colorado, I had a chance to I talked to a guy out in the parking lot of the hotel who was riding a road king. He claimed he had a hard time maintaining 70 MPH because of a strong headwind he encountered...... I was just...

    Pipe & Power Commander

    Dales advertising at least an estimated 7-10 gain in HP with his system....What do you think? Performance wise can you tell the difference? Or is it all in the eyes and ears?

    Victory motorcycles

    Polaris sold 100 jet skis for every motorcycle they've sold......yet, it wasn't a GOLDMINE so Corp eliminated it.....Now, it's one thing to phase out production and still offer parts, dealer support, ect for the next, say 3-5 years......but to just, QUIT and leave all those people out there...

    Y.E.S.

    It is depressing to find out your dealer is one greedy, lying SOB.....Just think what must be going on back in the repair dept......Parts being marked up 150%, then charging you 1 hour labor for what took some kid back there 10 minutes to do, who probably fuked up your bike and covered it up...

    Want less heat and better performance too?

    I emailed Hotshot, posing the question are they sure their 05 headers would fit an 06....Dale's reply was " unless they've changed something, it will fit". Huh? Well, no **** shirlock......Obviously, he doesn't know, nor care to check it out on my behalf.....so I posted that question in here...

    Victory motorcycles

    The problem with the 8-ball is, if Polaris pulls out of the Motorcycle market, which I think they will, it's gonna take at leat 3-4 people to help you lift that thing high enough to get it in a dipsey dumpster....

    Did your dealer do a TBS at 600 mi?

    When I asked this 17yr old mechanic at the Yami dealer if my bike got TBSed........ His reply was.....Oh man, that'd be totally awesome!!! But no, it can't get TBS, the bike doesn't have a satelite dish. But if I find a place to put one on it, where you gonna try to stick the TV?

    Want less heat and better performance too?

    Dale Walker's Holeshot has come up with a Header for the FJR that rids your bike of the catalytic converter....that along with a slighter bigger diameter pipe combined with his mufflers, should give you another 10 hp, not to mention the Kwel sound..... Check it out...I have an 06 so heat isn't...

    Practicing Panic Stops?

    Great Post......I never thought about practicing with my wife...but you're right. I'm sure braking with a passenger is a totally different experience.....and the last thing I want to see is my wife sailing over my head.....That would definately make for a bad day.

    So you wished you bought a BMW

    {"In that case, would you mind spotting me a couple of drops in the bucket? I might even pay you back someday...no interest though... :lol: } Don't guess I'll be seeing you & the family at any professional game venues this year.........I too, am taken back with the rate of inflation we’re...

    Victory motorcycles

    Bad news it Victory is owned by Polaris.... And these SOBs won't hesitate to screw you in a heartbeat...ie; all of a sudden POLARIS decided, out of the blue, to discontinue MANUFACTURING jetskis, I'm talking NO PARTS, NO SERVICE, NO fREAKING NOTHING ANYMORE, and if you were unluckey enough to...

    So you wished you bought a BMW

    I spent a total of $1100 for a one night stay at THE BROADMOOR last week. In otherwords, $1100 is a drop in the bucket. While it used be a wad of dough a couple of years back, these days I'd imagine it'd cost more than $1100 to take my family (4) to see a Cowboys game. .. If you have a problem...

    Practicing Panic Stops?

    Two people now have recommended practicing stopping using only the front brake......which seems highly unusual,, as that used be a suicidal thing to do back when......I guess linked brakes means if I hit the front brakes some force will be sent to the rear brakes as well and visa versa?

    Side Case on 2006 FJR

    Like I've said,,,,I loved my FJR to death, but I miss both the professionalism & courtesies that I've become accustomed to with Honda dealers that the minute Honda comes out with a 160HP Super Sport Tourer,,,,,,I'm sad to say, my FJR is going on the blocks. It's like having to deal with the 3...

    Practicing Panic Stops?

    Ok, Ok, all this talk about how to stay alive has gotten my attention...I've seen several post recommending practicing high speed panic stops, especially if you have ABS on your bike, which I do......as this seems to be very important to you, so I figure I better give it some practice! Please...
