He rode jap bikes up until about 15 years ago, then rode classic BMW’s only. (1970-1975.) Now he just sent me a couple of pics of his newest toy:
I don’t think he would, but if he puts straight pipes on it I’ll kick his ass!
sweet, how long before you man up and buy another bike?
Yeah I hate those assholes who keep revving the shit out of their bikes.
Like sereously is that shit really necissary? WTF
Nice bike though. T UP
I don’t really like Harley’s but I’ve got to admit that’s pretty sharp.
Hold on, I’ll go ask my wife. :io:
Nice. Harleys are not my thing but that’s cool that your dad doesn’t blow goats for a living and is cool enough to still want to ride. 
Is the sole purpose of that brick meant to be for the kickstand? I just don’t see any other bricks hanging around with it, and it’s placed perfectly for this pic. :gotme:
I’m very surprised he went from 70s BMWs to this… but at least he’s riding / enjoying it.
:tup:
Yes. There have been motorcycles going in and out of that shed for more years than I can remember. That block is there so you can wheel it out of the shed, set it there, fire it up, and go inside and grab your gear while it warms up. It’s been there, hell, since before my dad built the shed. That used to be where his bike lived during the summer. Haha it’s kind of funny that someone notices that. Growing up in a family full of motorcycle riders having a block in the middle of your lawn doesn’t seem noteworthy. :lol:
O, IC. Makes sense and all… but I’ve always just idled them in the drive.
if its really hot out, the kick stand will dig into the blacktop, mine did and fell over… as it looks like a blacktop driveway i’m sure that could be a concern there.
Nice bike, not my cup of tea, but it seems like more people i know are getting them, mabye im/there getting old…
Some of them are cammed so aggressively that they won’t idle properly and will stall. But maybe they just use that as an excuse.
wow even after riding jap bikes too ? when my dad bought his bike we looked at harleys back to back with the yamahas, IMO theres just no compaison, the yamaha is just a better bike in every way, it looks better, feels better, runs better IMO and not to mention cheaper, harlyes are nice no doubt, but I would never buy one, nice pickup though, hope he enjoys.
If i didnt know any better, I would think you were the Mrs. Fry.
.?
+1
. hahahahaa
looks like a sharp bike. should have gotten a vrod though… :awdrifter:
oh and btw I ride with both sport bikes and Harley’s, sport bikes rev the engines at stops way more then Harley’s do, this is just personal experience so maybe it is a fluke…
Nice. At least it’s not one of those “car-on-two-wheels” Harley’s with cupholders and a cd-radio…
smart investment too…Harley’s hold their value quite well.
dam, i thought this thread was going to be different. this is what i thought about the dark side:
so you and your dad get 5 out of 10
^^ LOL
