just bought a Second Bike !
06/09/13 at 21:08:05

I just closed the deal on a Second Bike ! The idea of Hydrolic lifters and pushrods sounds like a path to quiet running. Well the 1200cc sportster idea did'nt work out to good (the last one self-destructed trying to keep up with S-40's). So I'm sure this next one woin't keep up with Savages either but hopefully it woin't self-destruct either , couse its only 883cc.

Yea I know "But its a Harley Embarrassed

" , but they all can't be bad ?

So
About this posting pictures . ???
I click on Insert Image ,
go to my pictures
Then what ? I would think "right click on the picture and copy" but the paste never comes up later ??? Huh

I've had 2 Sporty's, an 883 and now the 1200, both of which were/are very smooth runners. I've been pleased with them for what they are, a heavier road bike. For just going down the highway I do prefer the way they ride. The extra weight provides a more comfortable stable ride, but when it comes to fun riding on backroads, around town or especially the twisties ... ala mountains, our trusty thumper is the preference.

I did not know that we could do that now. It did not work in years past; always had to put it on another webpage before.

MM, ride that Harley up to the Blue Ridge Campground and we will take care of it for you this weekend real quick like..

Grin

I'm not letting you get with-in 1/4 mile of this one you "Hog Killer" !

at least for a while Tongue

I'm thinking the smaller pistons might make life a little easier on the crankshaft. Matter of fact ! I suppect the motor was built around the 883 idea and some factory hot-shot said "Yea, well that might be a real bike if it had these bigger pistons in it , Ha,Ha,Ha " So the 1200 version got hatched ? Huh

I'll hope to tell ya for sure Friday .

Just checked the weather ! It looks GREAT !!!
