    No , this is a new kind of red, its aerodynamic and allows air molecules to slide over it with the minimum of friction. Someone told me it can add an extra 5 bhp at the rear wheel.:rolleyes:

    The great "Harleys aren't worth that much anymore" observation

    I once owned a Hardley movinson roadking custom, and in my opinion I was sorry I didnt buy a pair of trousers, I then bought a vrod , the one with the 240 rear tyre and 1250cc.

    Don't use the kill switch, is that right?

    Badger vs triumph rocket touring

    Sorry to hear about one of your unit cardinal93. The only fault any motorcycle has is they are a dangerous machine, but if you are chasing a passion I guess we all have our sense of danger switched on low. Anything that makes you feel young cant be all bad,ride safe and be careful out there.
