I put down all my miles on a hardtail. Here's my girl bike. Well, it's not actually a Sporto I suppose, it's a 99 Buell Lightning 12. Save all the boring jokes about it being a stupid chopper. This isn't the most recent photo. It was right around when I was buttoning everything up. Choom Gangster fucked around with this message at 22:24 on Oct 29, 2011 |

I was thinking about doing this but the Vredestein that everyone uses is an inch off to fit my current wheel, and the modifications for a different wheel really wouldn't justify the savings on the tire after factoring in the "test pilot" aspect of darksiding. How do you like it?

How do you like it? It works as well as it's motorcycle counterpart. I was running vintage tires to begin with, so that compromise had already been made. I chose the car version because it's rated to higher speeds than the motorcycle tire.

Im going to be renting a hardley in Miami (Friend who rides visiting for my wedding wants the full 'American experience' or something). If you could ride any harley for 1-2 days, which would you ride? At the moment leaning towards a v-rod since at least its not super slow..

It depends on what you're used to riding. The V-Rods are a bit notorious for uncomfortable riding positions. I'd probably stick to the Sporters since they're lightest and most are close to standard ergos. Get a 1200cc for pep if you're worried, get an XR1200X if they have them.

Odds are their selection will be limited and you'll end up on a Fat Boy (especially since its Florida), but if you actually get a choice, Snowdens Secret covered it pretty good. A Sportster will do you well, highly doubt they'll be renting XR1200s. I doubt one even exists in Florida period. V-Rods aren't uncomfortable per se, but only if you're tall. If you're below 6', you'll be stretched out. I'd totally rock one, but I'm 6'4".

Since I'm apparently the forums standard-bearer for the V-rod, the 2012 Night Rod Special is way more comfortable than the previous model years. I'm 6' and it fits me perfect. Upright seating and no more "clamshell" position. However, there's no way you'll get a '12 as a rental.

I have a couple of Buells, do I fail at club joining? I do like to go on poker runs dressed in full gear just to piss off the Harley guys because my little Buell sounds better.

Well, one one hand, I respect anyone who rides, and if your bike works for you, then gently caress anyone who thinks otherwise. But I did my MSF class on a blast, and they just seemed...dangerous.

How so? I'm genuinely interested here as I've never actually ridden a Buell before and only hear nothing but bad things about the blast. What about it felt dangerous to you? se: Giblet, what are your thoughts on the blast? What bothers you and what do you love?

I rode a blast when my mom had one years ago. The most memorable thing was how the seat pushed me forward so all of my weight was on my balls. I really wanted to ride a motorcycle but couldn't because it was a literal kick in the nuts.
