Ijam75 102 Posted July 6, 2012 So not being able to ride yet is killing me. I'm pain free, but once in a while while in the car and hitting a bump I get some pain (damn fat moving around), so I'm staying off the bike for a while. What do you ride? Are you a garage monkey like me? Can't leave well enough alone? Here is my 2012 Road Glide. 2/1 exhaust, HD Air cleaner and cams I just installed a few weeks ago. Sounds mean with a lumpy idle now and pulls like a train. 1 cmayfield85 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpecialK1960 252 Posted July 13, 2012 I ride, but I have a D%$# needle valve that is stuck in one of my carbs so I have an occasional gas leak...right into my block - wipes out 50$ worth of oil. Have not ridden since surgery, but looking to maybe trade up in the next 2 weeks. I am a crotch rocket guy. No offense, but a nice smooth 4 cyclinder would be a lot easier on the shaking and bumping... I am sure you are now going to run out and trade your Harley for a rice burner....LOL Hope you get back on the bike soon. It is summer and time to ride.

Capt Derel 287 Posted July 13, 2012 I just started riding again. I traded in my Honda harley for a 2012 VRSCDX. I love that porsche. Just ordered some Tab performance slipons, SEPST, and an K&N air filter to start this baby off right. I had to change that exhaust cause it sounded to much like a import. Yes I cant leave well enough alone either. I have a bad habit of tearing down new motors and stroking them out. But this time a Trask turbo kit might be what I see for christmas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Butterthebean 8,146 Posted July 15, 2012 I ride and I am a serious garage monkey. I tinker with everything till I break it. Then fix it and sell it on Craigslist before I can break it again. Here's my last couple of victims...a 2001 Vstar and a 2000 Drifter. Both were stock till I got ahold of them. 1 Capt Derel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreginMI 76 Posted August 6, 2012 Been riding all my life. I now have a 2012 Harley Ultra Limited. Just got back from a trip to Sturgis a week before the rally starts. Stayed in Deadwood, rode the Badlands, Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park, Devils Tower. A total of 3,586 miles in a week. Loved it! After surgery I couldn't ride for 2 months by Doctor's orders. It almost killed me. It sure is a lot easier getting my leg over that bike with 120 lbs gone!
