Title: Wish you were here....
Post by Serowbot on 03/06/15 at 15:35:09

I bet you do... :)...
Wind gusts up to 40mph made the ride up a little hard... but the ride home was like floating...
Sonoita is wine country,... rolling plains at 4500ft... 50 miles out of Tucson...
;D...
Mine is the Sportster,... Jerry has the trike, and my buddy George was just trying out the 750 Shadow he just bought...

Oy! I didn't know ya had a sporty, mate! (Australian accent, i dont know why i wanted to say it in an Australian accent  [smiley=huh.gif])


We will get some pretty windy days here in Austin...that's the only downside of having "nice" weather, cool days, they always seem to be very windy.

However, I don't remember the last time it was up to 40MPH...

Nice sporty though.  :D

We get plenty of 30 MPH winds in North Texas.

Our best riding days are winds in the 5 to 10 MPH range.

Hey, Serow, can you answer this? every time I go to a new bike show, I sit on a sportster and it feels like I'm sitting on a rail, especially compared to a 750 shadow or 800 vulcan. What gives?  Why is it so bloody stiff? 8-)

Well,.. I did ride an 03' Sporty with a humped stock seat that literally did feel like a rail... (or maybe a telephone pole)... This one is a Superlow, and the seat is quite good...
The suspension is another matter... only about 2 1/2" in the rear and not much more in the front,.. so it is a hard ride...  (and at 140lb, I don't think I move it very much)...
I'm used to my Savage, with 12.5" shocks, and it rides like a cushy DP bike...

I love the Sporty engine... Torquey, torquey, torquey... ...but, I could live without all that weight, and the hard ride...

Too bad there just ain't a shoehorn big enough to get an 883 into my Savage frame... :-?...

That would be awesome. I would do that in a heart beat if I could.
