What is it about Harley threads that attract so much interest. All of
the other stale old topics burn out in short order, but once a Harley
love em or hate thread starts it's like the Energizer Bunny. It just
keeps going and going.

As a not yet fully indoctrinated Harley Whore I will pass along my
first impressions of the Road King.

On a purely personal basis I love the way it looks. I have always
leaned to the cruiser style and since Harley created that mold I have
to like it.

I had a chance to sit on one at the Vancouver motorcycle show last weekend
Interesting to say the least.
You either love or hate the look
I'm 6'1" and inseam is 32 inches.
My knees got jammed against the back edge of the 'gas' tank.
It must have more than gas under there because the fuel capacity is small.
I guess air intakes and electronics etc.
They need to remove about 1 inch of that trailing edge or nobody can ride
it.
If I got comfortable then I could not reach the brake or shift.
If I could move my feet and reach them. My knees were jammed tight and I
could hardly move my feet up and down to
perform braking or shifting actions.

Oh well maybe enough feed back at the dealer level. Or someone will come out
with adjustable foot pegs.

Superbowl .......yawn .......ho hum
I prefer Australian rules football any day hehehe

Sorry ,but sometimes you just have to tell it like it is.:)

I walked by my SV yesterday in my garage and noticed a small puddle of
coolant on the floor. I've seen this before in my shed when its been sitting
for a long period of time. Yet, when I run it I do not see any leaks
anywhere and the bike doesn't overheat. I do smell a little anti-freeze
smell for a short period of time but it dissipates. Has anyone experienced
this with their bikes?

That's how far Firebird Park Racetrack is from my house as the crow flys.
It's more like 18 to the SW if you drive but to on my point.

There's a big drag racing event this weekend and while out on my daily
bicycle ride with a brisk wind coming from the SW, I heard the unmistakable
sound of a AA-fuel dragster making a practice run. I don't think anything
short of an F-15 in full afterburner is as loud as these 6000+ HP
dragsters.

Yeah, the "noise park" outside my city has been forcibly re-located a
time or two for that reason. People buy a home next to a dragstrip, or
a freeway, or an airport, and then want the city to invest in making
their home quieter.
