A chat/bs/what have you thread for anything and everything related to the original first gen air cooled HM.
Sigh, Have noted of recent, general forum is going to the dogs.
Many moons ago (back in the air cooled HM days) all we were interested in discussing was fundamentally: "how to set up the bike to handle" & "how to extract more power".
The latest generation of quasi HM forum inhabitants define "set up" as what colour bars to fit and best way to install your mobile phone and what pretty colour bling thingy suits. S'pose they have to make sure that their new toy matches their D&G shoes and latest Alpinestars tee-shirt.
Please let this thread continue in the original spirit of sensible tech talk!! :think:
Reasons to be cheerful. You've quite eloquently summed up my feelings and thoughts of why I am addicted to my Evo....I just couldn't sell myself on spending the 15k for a 2014 SP. ... no rider aids and a dry clutch sealed the deal.
... I was surprised at how rough the fuel delivery was and just how "RAW" the bike feels on the street. I actually love it now. It gives the machine some character...
.. Cannot be reproduced, and just makes me grin when the kids playing basketball stop and stare because I remember being a little boy and seeing a motorcycle ride by thinking to myself, "one day". . . .
