    Poll... Rear Tire Mileage

    Replaced mine at less than 2k, but that was the nail that took that one (and the continuing for 800 more miles before I noticed it - luckily I was back home and at the dealer by then - cupped so bad it looked like knife edges at every groove). Went back with stock Metzler and now have almost 5k...

    Clunky Gearbox?

    My '09 Classic has almost 5k on it and it makes the same clunk sound as when it had 500 miles. Everything is in tolerance according to the dealer; it will be in for service next week and I'll have them check the shift forks and rod adjustments. Some bikes seem to clunk more than others...

    Howdy from Texas!

    Howdy back! and welcome to the forums! I'm in League City in the Clear Lake area (about halfway between Houston and Galveston). Hope to see you out on the road sometime. Maybe the Texas contingent should put together a tour of all the areas of Texas we hail from. Stop by a local point of...

    What is her name?

    Informally, she's the Love Rocket. Hence my screen name - anyone remember this commercial: YouTube - Danger Kitty - Love Rocket (Discover Card Commercial) That's actually a real band that travels around doing hair band cover shows by the name Metal Shop. There's another one like them named...

    Hi from New York

    Welcome aboard, Don! That Roadster looks like it's going to be sweet. I hope you've been keeping your sanity while you wait. I'm pulling my hair out about my exhaust and highway pegs, I can't imagine waiting for the whole bike! Hang in there, it's well worth the wait. I lucked into my Classic...

    bad news everyone

    $25k?!?! Is that what the Roadster is going for? Surely that won't last long. In this market bikes have to be priced to move. Motorcycles are considered a luxury item and those aren't flying out the door - I'll find out what my local dealer is selling them for tomorrow. Flying down to Houston...

    Many thanks guys. And a welcome to you Rocketdog! Britman - Texas making BBQ? You must be thinking of Florida... And I may have to take you up on that sometime Hank - I'm hoping to reprise the ride the wife and I took to Vegas for a friends wedding, then to the Phoenix area for my baby...

    Its Time

    Welcome from another site newbie! Looks like we're on a similar path. I know what you mean about the winter weather... I actually had to ride in the snow this winter for one day, and today it was all I could do to put my mesh jacket and gloves on and ride in the 78 degree weather. Ok, so...

    Thanks all, I'm blown away by the welcome. Txclassic, I got the bike from ExImport on 59; they've actually been really good so far. I owe the guys in service a case of Heineken; they stayed after closing for almost an hour helping find the leak in my rear tire, cleaning, patching, and airing...

    Howdy from Texas...

    You said it! I have learned a boatload since finding this site. I knew from the salesman they changed the tuning (a LOT less HP for very little TQ increase) and was already scheming how to get it back if I went with the Touring. But I'm really happy I ended up with the Classic. And with the...

    2 H.D's does not = 1 R3

    Well, they got the idea right... on my Street Rod, I pulled over with about 180 miles on the clock from new. Kicked the stand down, and it just kept going. The bolt had vibrated out (apparently Loctite must charge them by the bolt or something) and I was stopped at a boat ramp with a 620 lb...

    Howdy from Texas...

    Thanks HellFire, you posted while I was typing. I am really happy with the Classic. I rode the Touring model and loved it, and would have been very happy with it too. But I did want the power, and while I was worried about how the 240 would affect the handling, it looks awesome (on a bike...
