    Sportsters and V-Rods

    Just bought a v rod and love it.They do handle well at speed but crappy at low speed maneuvers.The tank is under the seat which helps a lot.Lean angle also sucks at 32 degrees and the exhaust weighs 28lb making it pull to the right with your hands off the bars.They can be made to go like stink...

    Random roadside stop

    That was 27yrs ago and the son on the head of the Essex County RCMP who was a passenger in my car took control of the situation as I had a cop trying search my car for fun.You could not be stopped randomly at the time they had to have a reason to pull you over.It's a fact I was the driver.The...

    Random roadside stop

    It used to be that they couldn't pull you over without reason such as seeing you without a seat belt,expired tags ect.You had the right to ask why you were stopped and they would have to have a good reason before inspection.Americans are appalled when they get pulled over in Windsor for nothing...

    Homicidal Cagers. Why do they get away with it?

    You had witnesses? If so you can charge her and make it stick.Have her carted away from the house and jailed,her car is a weapon after all. Of course there's always the tried and true lay in wait then BEAT DOWN method,always give it a few weeks as it makes it extra terrifying when they recognize...

    Anybody own a v rod?

    One thing I am noticing is when hot there is a slight jolt when letting out the clutch in first.Typically this happened on all my other bikes and cable adjustment at the clutch at the lever would fix it.What do you do on a hydrolic clutch?Had a friend tell me it could also be oil related(too...

    Anybody own a v rod?

    I'm not a brand loyal kind of rider and could care less who makes my bikes.I really like the v-rod, the links Myztyk dropped and the other replies are enough for me.The only thing I really dislike about the v-rod is the cornering but then again It's a straight line bike.After signing all the...

    'Cars only' sign on parking garage?!

    ^^^exactly in fact all parking gates these days come from the factory with big stickers on them.I work on the gates at a hospital where all lots are gated.Many lots will cut the gate arms short so a bike can enter and exit without having to go threw.Yes you still have to pay but you can ride...

    I was told by a mechanic that running the bike with lower back pressure will move the power band higher because of reduced savaging effect at low rpm .He explained that an properly engineered exhaust will actually clear the gases from the cylinder in pulses.The speed of the leading gas pulse...
