What they didn't mention

Yamaha is also testing a Wide Glide front end with 34 degrees of rake to improve straight line stablity.

The forward controls also really allow the rider to stretch out during those long races.

Geez, next thing you know, Rossi will be wearing arm chaps.

We're sunny and 70 today but alas I will be taking my son to a classmate's 6 year birthday party.

I guess my project of putting my Electra Glide front end onto my Ducati will have to wait.

I enjoy every minute of it. He still holds my hand and calls me daddy. Soon enough he'll be giving me one word answers and won't want to be seen with me and prefer to hang with his friends.

You think there is a way to make the rear end rigid? A buddy of mine had an old Triumph chopper and back then they removed the shocks and put on steel struts for that smooth rigid ride.

He rode his from Michigan to Florida!

You probably haven't been following these threads long but most of this "Harley stuff" is said very tongue-in-cheek.

Re: Great Marketing Idea!

Well he has been asking me for a dirt bike. I guess I just need to hold out until he is 17 eh?

1961? You realize they don't make the panhead anymore right Bob? '61 was long before I was born so it wasn't me giving you the ride.

I have the H-D catalog in front of me and just ordered some goodies for the Geezer Glide. She'll be breathing a bit better once I'm done.

Just remember if you do get a Dyna Sport, hire someone to follow you to pick up all the parts that fall off and a hazmat team to clean up the oil slick.

Quote from my 5 year old after yesterday's GI Joe party, "I'll remember this day forever."

Need I say more?
