Harley's

[Ravinsomniac]

95% of all Harley's are still on the road,
the other 5% made it home..

[Wild Bill]

LOL!

H-D has changed their slogan for the first time in decades:

"Harley-Davidson: Over 100 years of successfully converting gasoline into noise, without the side-effects of horsepower."

Now that Bill was excellent....

I like HARLEYS. I still have one. They are just another bike. My Boss Hoss is also just another bike. I like all bikes. Each does something better than the other one. I never rode any that were no fun. I even like trikes which don't have much in common with bikes.

[Ron Radulski]

Let's face it, I believe ALL of today V-8 riders were once HARDLY riders!

There is no telling what you will find in my garage. Currently the Boss sits next to a HD Road Glide and a Softail. It has also sat next to B-King, Busa and Ultra-Classic. Tonight I saw a commercial for Kawi's new line of Hyper-bikes so that may hit the slab soon too ... unless I can't get Curtis' red bike outta my mind, then it will be sitting next to another Hoss.
Long Story short, I make fun of all brands and love them at the same time too ...

Wow Petite, I've had all of those bikes too! My wife and friends say I have motorcycle A.D.D. I still have a busa and just sold my 2014 ZX14 this spring to go towards the 01 smallblock I just bought!

Dennis,

Just looked at that red one online. Great looking bike!

Hoss ZZ4 trike is my first and only, so far...

[Puff]

I have never had a Harley.

[hogv8]

Over the last 55 + years I've owned a bunch of Harley's and I still own one .

[The Mindless Philosopher]

I sure wouldn't mind one as a backup for when the Hoss breaks.

My wife rides it more than I do .

Jack, here is a picture of my latest bike. I just got it running and everything on it works. It only had 1700 miles on it from new but it hadn't run for over 40 years.

[hogv8]

Sweet !

[Gila123]

Hogv8 ,,, I know I've told you before ,,, man I like the looks of your bike ,,, you'll note I stole your black out wheels and a few other things on my LS3 ,,, if I go with ordering a new boss I may steal more ideas ,,

[hogv8]

Thanks Gila , I've always tried to make my Boss look as simple and clean cut as possible , your welcome to any of my ideas or style .

[Ravinsomniac]

Harley sales are down and electric bike sales around the World are growing, so it looks like Harley is going to jump on the electric bandwagon.
Since the bike will be whisper quiet, I guess they can put baseball cards in the spokes, so it sounds like a Harley..

[petitemoose]

That is one FUGLY excuse for a bike ... IMO

[Ron Radulski]

I agree Dennis. Kinda looks like those bikes you can find at Meijers or K-marts in the bicycle department. LOL!!!

[Ravinsomniac]

With all of the V8 Bikes around, they will do anything to get noticed

When Boss Hoss was in its early days and maybe up to 2005 or so, Harley’s were slow, made a lot of noise that didn’t translate into speed.
Today Harley’s are fast, powerful; not BH fast, but fast nonetheless. The new Milwaukee 8, 4 valves per cylinder is a major step forward; tank all of the EPA shit off plus a hot cam setup plus head porting and you’re at 140hp at 700 lbs with no torque converter to rob power.
Harley’s are nice now too, the Mount Rushmore improvement has really made a difference in how they ride and handle.
I had a 2014 Street Glide with a 120R racing engine that I toured Europe, was a dream ride and bike, bloody fast too.
I can buy 2 CVO Street Glides for the price of one BH.
Just saying.
I love my BH the most......by far.

I've built several quick Harley engines over the years but it's not cheap to get over 100 HP out of the older engines . The last one I built was 96 in Evo S&S stroker that put out right around 100 HP and cost me about $6000.00 and I did all the work ,of course I used the best of everything .

[knockdolian]

Maybe it’s the Japanese bits that are making the Harley’s better ? Just saying !!!

And exactly what would be those Japanese parts? I’ll wait.
