Chrome got me home!
« on: June 19, 2006, 12:53:27 AM »
Bike broke down again today.

After a 200 km ride, I was exiting the highway and my bike started running like a tractor (read 2 cylinders, bad ignition coil). A guy on a Harely stopped and gave me a ride back to my place to get the required parts to fix it (I had spare coils at home). Sometimes the big guy upstairs is looking out for you...

Now I know why people love Harelys. That's one comfty ride, can fit everything you need any more. The radio is a nice touch too, and it even gets louder the faster you ride!

It's more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow.

If I had the moo-la, I'd pick up a HD Ultra Classic Electra Glide for long highway trips. Sportster doesn't offer much wind protection or storage.
