Got a new toy yesterday... $6600 for a 99 with 17k miles from it. |
Nice dude. You keeping the sport bike or switching completely?

I would love to get a supermoto, but I think I'm limited to having two bikes at a time. Reality though I am looking towards trading the KLR for a honda nc700 or a kawasaki versys, something that can be taken on gravel and hard packed trails but is still very competent on back roads. But that is 2-4 years away depending on money and promotions. |
Why put on damaged bodywork??

Good/bad thing about a harley is it almost doesnt matter how old they are, they still look the same.

Really I just wanted to something that is easier to travel on than either the klr or the CBR, and something that does better with a passenger than either bike. I wanted a goldwing, but they are still priced too high and usually come with way too many miles on them than I was happy with. |
Nice! I recently thought I was going to get a Venture Royale but, got vetoed by the boss! Still KLRing though!
|
I dig it.

I did not think that facebook post was serious, can't not believe it. LOL

I wasnt expecting to buy it, but the stars sort of just aligned right. I was actually just on my way up to my parents house so they can take the kids for the next 2 weeks and we stopped to use the bathroom |
That's some serious impulse buying right there. Congrats.
|
Good luck with it, man.

Can you flatfoot sitting on any of your bikes?

I love it... 99 was a weird time for HD... they just EFI the EVO motor and that only happened for like 2 years then they went to the 88" Twin Cam.
But as said, HD goes through tons of effort to engineer the bike without changing the look or alienating the core customer base. |

Wawa's Are only in NJ,PA,DE,MD,VA and FL. Awhile ago we were in NY and CT but no longer are we in those states. |
I find Icees everywhere, they have them in Weigels in Tennessee and Burger King even has them. A lot of Walmarts as well. I love blueberry.
Cherry and coke are the two most common flavors. |

I get close with this one. The first photo I posted was weird, I didn't even come close, but while out and about I can get one foot flat with the other heel about a half inch off the ground |

Only a couple weeks until I visit Jersey.. Slurpee is definitely towards the top of the list. As is that awesome ice cream parlor that I used to live down the street from that employs mostly hot women. I swear they have the best milkshake I ever tasted.

Well fuck me, bike is in the shop after 5 days. Definately a dead battery, showing 10.5v, I'm hoping it isn't the regulator or the stator. The dealership is testing everything for free, and might warranty the parts, the service guy didn't want to give me an answer until he could talk to the sales manager. The dealership warranty only covers the power train, but since I brought it back on under a week they say they are going to try and work with me. Which I think means they will give me a small discount on already super expensive parts. Instead I would just look at the after market, already found a regulator and stator for the same price as the HD regulator by itself.
Pretty pissed because other than that this bike was ruining fine and just took in miles without blinking. In hoping that the battery was just dead from sitting, and that is causing the charging system to read low, bit the service guy was saying that without load at 2500 rpm the voltmeter should be reading 14v, it is reading between 13 and 13.5. Fuck me right |

The best investment you can possibly make is a Battery Tender! Wire it in and plug up every time you park it!
|
I'm gonna buy the HD battery, but go with either used parties or aftermarket IF I need any parts. I am planking to verify any diagnosis the dealership makes and go from there. I have the factory service Manual so testing shouldn't be hard

Per my HD mechanic, it can double to tripple the life of the battery on these high power demand bikes. Spyke makes some good parts for what you may need. But there's another brand I need to check on.... can't remember it right now... |

Anyway, they call me back and tell me that a wire by the regulator was covered in road grime and gunk and they cleaned it off and the bike works fine now. They did say that the spark plug wires were pretty old and needed to be replaced, along with the spark plugs, so I will do that. |
