Rode as in past tense. Present time I don't have a bike. I sold my last bike back in late 2003 and haven't gotten another one since. I do know one thing I did learn from my past one though. No more "kit bikes". Too hard to register in the state and get insurance on without an MSO.

My brother wrecked his bike a few years back. I'll ask him for the pictures. It split his helmet in the front where he hit the car. Ouch, walked with a cane for a few weeks after. Hospital in Arizona was nice he said

Ok lets turn this around a bit. What bike would you get if you could?
Me I like American Iron Horse Texas Choppers and the LSC (except it is a hard tail). But the stock 124 ci S&S engines leave something to be desired. So I think I would throw the warrenty out the window and have Kendall build me something better engine wise. That guy is a genius with engines.  |

it was a 883, but i sent it to D&S Custom performance, where they punched it out to a 1250, then ported heads, cams, 12.5 compression, and some other goodies.. the motor is built to run a 50 horsepower shot of No2 ,but i havnt put it on yet.. with spray it should be in the 10's if i can keep the front end down.. its scary

OMGosh, you are my IDOL! I want a one!!!! My girl has a black and yellow Suzuki Savage, and I'm getting my motorcycle licence this summer pending proper healing of a back injury. The first time I sat on a V-Star I absolutely fell head over heels. She was all white, chromed out, white leather saddlebags... all chrome accessories... just to DIE for!!! *drool*
