2009 Road Glide, and 2013 F800GS in my stable. Love 'em both. Had a brief fling with a KLR650 until it was totaled thanks to left turning dimwit in an A4. Frankly, I was disappointed in the KLR. It was loads of fun, at first; but in the long run underpowered, and under braked. A good but not great bike. Very happy with the F800. Great power and brakes, but the tradeoff is it's a bit heavy off road. Something like a DRZ400 or a KTM EXC would round out things nicely!  Keep the rubber side down! Jeff

Harleys are cool if: 1. you are an old semi bald white guy w/ a pony tail. 2. think that riding a "chopper" makes you tough. 3. Watch TV shows that glorifies the lifestyle of criminals and predators. 4. Hang out w/ Safariman or his fellow travellers. 5. Don't give a damn what other people think  6. Sportsters are to real bikes what KFC is to home made fried chicken. Just thought I would a redistibute la merde. You are welcome and I really like Brit bikes and Gin. mike r If ignorance were painful, you'd need a morphine drip to get through the day. Jeff

It's called a significant work promotion Remguy. Hard work pays off, or at least it did with my employer. Not just a significant pay increase, but a great benefit package. Dedication, hard work, and the grace of God... You're wasting your time here. You could be cramming for your Joel Osteen online television evangelist degree.

Got to wonder why they post about motorcycles, guns, etc., but there has not been even the slightest mention of, let alone an update regarding the current state of health of Safariman's cousin, Vicki, the donor of the life saving kidney he received?
Also, with the recent windfall "significant" work promotion, which included a "significant" pay increase (apparently significant enough to buy a new or almost new HD Street 750), and a "great benefit package", it would have been a profoundly thoughtful, Christian act if Safariman and asphaltangel would have showed their sincere, heartfelt appreciation for cousin Vicki's most generous, selfless, gift of life by donating one of her own kidneys to Safariman, if they would have surprised Vicki and her husband with a nice little get-away vacation, or something else equally nice, instead of running out and buying expensive new toys for themselves, as they apparently have.

Cousin Vicki is probably insured and her days are numbered now that granny cashed in her chips.

I rode my 1962 vintage Honda CL72 to the office this morning. It was fun, but I wouldn't want to take the bike on a long journey.

As one who was trying to keep up with Asphaltangel in the curves of NE Oregon during the first annual Pendleton Bike Week, I can attest to how quick and nimble she and her still new to her 750 street are. I have been riding for about 35 years and was able to ride as fast as I cared to without worrying if Sherri could keep up for a change. With her Suzuki that was an issue, now solved! The heat was on and that first post about the "new" bike had to be fixed, didn't it Mark ? Hence the "still new to her" to cover ass huh ?

The 750 street just came out this year. 2015 Hmmmmmm, and the plot thickens. She did not even write the original post about the bike, he did, she never signs "~Sherri", she does not normally sign. He does it so others will think it is her, except that it is not normal for her so it gives him away. He had to post under her name, because nobody gives a flying fugg about him, and would not waste a second reading anything he would write.

Teal,
Congrats on getting your endorsement and thanks for a fun thread. I've enjoyed looking at all the pics posted.
I've been riding a HD Street 750, and it's been a nice upgrade to my Suzuki Savage 650. It's primarily water cooled, and it's my understanding that only the V-Rod, in the HD line, has used the water-cooled engine.
I use my Street for work commute, day trips, and look forward to an 1-2 day trip up to Spokane and Northern Idaho. I recently took it to a bike rally in Eastern Oregon and had a blast riding with other riders on all types of bikes. The Street is a real conversation piece, as this bike is unlike anything else HD has came out with.
If you enjoy polishing chrome, this bike is not for you. The Streets have mostly black for the engine and exhaust. I added the Screaming Eagle air cleaner and 2 brothers exhaust for some additional horse power....and talk about easy to handle! Other riders commented on how I could take the corners in the mountains with ease and speed.
Google the HD website and you can take a look. They come in flat black, glossy black, and a deep red. ...customizing the bike is the fun part.
One other suggestion would be to find out when your local HD dealership is offering trial rides on their bikes. This is what I did and the bike sold itself.
~ Sherri
And besides the "~ Sherri", sign-off, we're supposed to believe that that post was made by asphaltangel when it reads just exactly like one of Safariman's classified ads? But then there's this.
...I'll be back sometime, but will not grab another assumed cybername. I will still be safariman. All will know who I am, and I am a man not afraid to face some personal demons and get 'em killed off, and will not take the cowards way of using some other name and hoping no one knows who I really am....

We just returned home from a 1460 mile cruise on our 2014 Heritage. My overall review is pretty darn good. Riding 2 up at 60 to 80 mph loaded heavy, thanks to my beautiful wife's suitcase habits, things went remarkably well. I think we made a good choice for our riding style.

There are enough varieties out there that you can justify getting a different kind ...and if you're lucky enough, at the same time. Yep.. I've had a bunch. Started out with Suzuki in '68 - then two Triumph Trident 750s, then a Suzuki GS110L, then two Kawasaki Voyagers (the big 6-cyl ones - the second one I drove for 18 years) then finally to HD (now on the 6th since '05) When you're young, bikes like those can be ridden easily. but when a rider gets older (read: stiffer) they're just simply not comfortable enough to stay on for more than a few miles, which is why those big baggers become so inviting. I just came back from the rally with about 1500 miles put on the Ultra Classic. I can ride that bike for 600 miles/day and not have to be pried off the seat and placed in a Jacuzzi to recuperate.. Nice to see a helluva lotta women riding solo there too. And they're not on just Dynas or Sportsters either - many are riding full baggers and handling 'em just fine.. Female riders are becoming a larger segment of the bike family and IMHO that's a good thing..
