That one actually looks pretty cool.

I would hope my friends know me well enough to get me a motorcycle I would actually ride. I'm not saying Michael does, or doesn't ride that. I'm saying I wouldn't.

I believe Michael has a couple of Harleys

 

[Buzglyd]

So why wouldn't you ride it?

 

[seruzawa]

Looking at those old chopped up panheads and shovelheads makes me cringe. God only knows how many knuckles, pans and shovels were ruined during the 70's chopper craze. Gooseneck one and watch the value plummet. Idiots. Left stock a knuckle or a pan is worth far more than any chop job. Even shovels are getting that way.

I like this bike, love my Shovelhead, and really like the "Bobber" fad over those stupid fatassed "customs" that all look the same. At least they're somewhat functional.



But I'm confused: as far as I know, Harley was not making hardtail frames in 1981. I thought their last hardtail was decades before then when the "Duo-Glide" was introduced. Am I wrong?

I wouldn't ride it because it doesn't have Ohlin's shocks.

Re:

The last factory Harley hardtail was 1957. Maybe they took an 81 frame and welded on a hardtail.

 

[longride]

I have a shot at a killer deal on a mostly stock 46 Knuck. If this thing is for real, I'm buying it on the spot.

 

[Buzglyd]

It doesn't have any shocks!



Maybe you could paint the hardtail gold and put some Swedish lingo on it to make yourself feel better.

 

[seruzawa]

I've seen a fully restored Knuckle go for $40K. Go for it.

Or it's just another Frankenstein.

 

[sarnali2]

How about if me and the boyz come check it out after you buy it bro?. We'll be in the black Chevy van about 3 in the mornin'.......

Re:

At least they didn't rip off the rear shocks and put steel bars in place like the Sportster guys used to do. What a mess that was.

 

[SmokeU]

Re:

I've seen that done on Shadow VLX's.

I almost puked.

 

[sarnali2]

That's one fine lookin' motorsikkle there, I'd have used a Sporty tank and drag pipes but that's just nit-picking. It's gotta' be a weld on hardtail or else they're tagging it off the motor numbers. It's not an "81 hard tail"



Maybe they're 81 supporters and just wanted to get a plug in.

 

[longride]

Red and White baby! Not for me man. I'm a Midwest boy!

Reward one of the fastest men on the planet with an ill handling drum brake equipped unsuspended POS. Who's trying to kill him? And did he just get back from south florida, white shoes and a white belt? If he digs it, cool. I'd rather use it as a boat anchor...

Someone either needs more sleep or a lot more caffeine.

Re:

"I know! We'll put these "springs" and "shock absorbers" on the front and rear of the motorcycle. It will make the ride smoother and give the rider greater control!" What a concept...
