Big surprise! A fellow Harley owner is making the rest of you look like retards: US biker sues Harley in ABS light case Basically guy claims his idiot lights suggested his Harley is equipped with ABS. It wasn't, and he didn't realize it, even after 15 months and 12,000 miles. Has to "lay 'er down" and his wife (pillion) has brain damage as a result of the wreck. Maybe next he'll sue the state for not making his wife wear a helmet. Then he can sue every helmet manufacturer for not giving his wife a helmet!

Scrapez posted:Fixed that. this is the best explaination. and no there was no actual lit-up ABS light. it just had the ABS space on the gauge cluster just like every car does, regardless of whether or not it has ABS. Just like every car, if there's no ABS then the light is simply not there, but that little symbol on the dash remains. You can only see it in bright direct light or with a flashlight.

So I just realized that Harley riders coming down the street from the local dealership look like they got stuck doing a jumping jack. I just saw a dude on a Harley with ape hangers and highway pegs riding down the street. He looked like a loving starfish. Serious question: How can this be, in any way, a comfortable riding position? I'd imagine that being a human parachute on a bike is kind of a scary feeling.

clutchpuck posted:You guys crack me up sometimes. Of course it can be comfortable. Stretching your limbs out feels pretty good. That's pretty much what I figured but I honestly don't think I could ride like that. It just looks so... unstable.

Scrapez posted:Anything up to about 10"bars are comfortable for me. Beyond that and forget it. Oh agreed. I don't think I made my case though... this man was literally standing up and had his arms stretched out as far as they could reach in either direction over his head. I understand feet up and arms out a bit. But he looked like this:  except his arms and feet were out to the side more.

Armyman25 posted:Are police model Harley's and better/worse than the regular bikes There will be some differences: mostly with the wiring due to police lights. Some police departments spring for beefing up the motor with Ape bronze valve guides, heavy duty valves and springs. Then again, it's also my understanding that police bikes are often 'ridden hard and put away wet.' Deeters posted:So you want to try riding a bike but don't have a license?

While we're on the topic of seals, has anyone tried the SealMate and NOT hosed up their seals or scratched their fork tubes? http://www.sealmate.net/

Sagebrush posted:That's masterfully executed in the details, but the overall proportions are all wrong. The seat and rear wheel in particular are really goddamn ugly. Reminds me of this...thing: Lose the blinkers and scooter seat and that thing would be awesome. I still can't believe he's not running a fuel pump on it though. Particularly with those carbs.
