Motorcycle

I must admit I don't like motorcycles very much. Not because of the bikes or bikers themselves, but because of the idiot car drivers. I lost a brother and two friends are paralyzed because of idiots in cars that don't know how to drive...

No issues ran like new got alot of looks with the side plates off and grass growing in dirt on the wheels ( made that up) ..lol. Dusty Dusty e everywhere..just sad.

Started fine at the gas station made it to the car wash 2 Bucks in the thing and hit it with the soap finished with DI water..even sprayd my fuses and electrical lightly to see if that is a issue,( never power in the car wash wand into your gages or electric, I know that,.but I wanted to see). toweled the seat grips and pegs started right up headed towards the highway about a mile away thru traffic..

Hit it pretty hard on the entrance ramp crossed 5 lanes, it was clear and hit 90 about in a 1/4 mile ran like a top put my feets on the highway pegs and grooved for a 3 miles got off went home everything is fine and dandy.

No Engine check lights, no Sputter, no Electric warning light...YEAH!!!

Igo can you tell me what happened to the shovel you said, blew the lower end out...is that threw a rod and poked a hole in the lower case..?

Threw second gear as in busted a gear in two ?

Or twisted the drive gear sprocket connecting rod ?

What damage did you do and were you racing someone what happend ...

One time in shop class in highschool I forgot to wet the gasket on a canister type oil fiter.73 Nova and when I started it up 5 qts of fresh oil ran all over the shop floor...best part!!!... I jumped under the car to see what was wrong instead of turning the engine off...I got a "D".

It appears that the alternator stator racked back and forth looseing the primary belt pulley and creating slack that I took for a bad lower end. The stator rubbed the case and gave the appearance of the crank pin moving in the case. Fo-par on my part, but I put the five speed in it tonight and will set up the belt in the next few days...

[clarathecarrot]

Nice.... wasn't as bad as thought no fo-par just plain lucky you caught it in time.

I finally got a good ride in after my repairs and burned the under of my bicepts felt great!.....my bud I rode with has a bagger style bike and loves th 75-80mph touring.

I was behind him on my sporty not so much riding as hanging on I need a softer seat or maybe soften my rear shocks..?

I am only comfortable against the wind at 70mph,... when the wind is at my back maybe 75-80.

Any advice for a long hauls on a sportster..?

Sportsters?, Hell back in the day we called them "dirt bikes". Pissed the shit outta the loyal Sportster people, but again back in the day most wouldn't be caught dead riding them. In retrospect, a small thing, but that's the way it was. The Sporsters now are miles away from the old ironheads, but they are no more popular with hard riders now then they were then. I could have bought one back when I was just getting into in, but I waited two more years till I could get a big twin. (that I still own).

The Sportster 48 is badass, but the hardcore Harley fucks still hate them. Of course, they hate my VROD too. One of them was looking over my bike the other night, and he said "This thing has a 9 grand red line?" He liked it, but he wasn't about to be complimentary.

I'm hearing all the big bikes will be water cooled as soon as next year. That should piss those guys off.

You ever ridden a Sportster? They were fucking BAD, and not that much better now.
