Rossmeyer set up a "Dark Chrome" sales area upstairs in their FTL shop. It's all done with blacklights, AC/DC posters, and generally googy-weird "dark" stuff. I think you have to have at least 5 tattoos to enter. Bike designers can be such fashion ****z...sometimes I think the journals swap editors with Cosmo.

Their latest Bizzarro World Fashion Forward statment: A cartoonish Pirates of the Carribean logo on that new bike with the tractor seat...the FXDLDARKSUCKA or whatever it's called.

Such harsh words from a Harley owner. How's that 64 horsepower treating you lately?

Ever see those videos of the Astronauts training in the centrifuge...the g-forces contorting their faces as they struggle to remain concious? It's not like that.

When you show up at the Harley dealer now they ask:

"Dark meat or white?"

Murikins are tired of the excess. They've had enough of the corporate fat cats showing up in Washington for a welfare check in private jets. They're sick of Banks gettin billions of our hard earned tax dollars and blowing it even more private jets.

When it comes to their bikes, Murikins are all through with rear tires wider than their wife's ass, and pipes louder than their girlfriends 2 year old. That's why Harley is rolling out the new Iron 883. Pure. Simple. Black.

Sure, it's got a seat, but it's really hard.
Yeah, it's got an engine, but it's pretty damn slow.
You ain't gonna find no acres of chrome and glossy paint here pardner.
Just a lot of flat black spray paint and unpolished metal.

The New Iron 883 from Harley. That's right, Harley. Because Americans are tired of two part names like Harley-Davidson.

Just don't buy an '05 Sporty. For some reason HD made just about everything on the bike a little bit different that the years before and after. It's like a Twilight Zone model...every aftermarket part out there is available for anything but the '05.

And I was going to get an 05 too! damn!

Yes, when my pal Christine was having her 883 upgraded, it was a mess. Everything from cams to jugs to even bolts were '05 specific. It's not impossible, but if you have a choice, skip the '05.

And there's a gazillion aftermarket, used, and OEM parts. I'm a little surprised you aren't interested in the Ironheads. They have a bit of a cult following here.
