Newbie on the site.

Thanks for the welcome everyone! I'm not crazy about the new R3 Touring because it looks like a Roadking with a Rocket engine , but I'm sure it will be comfortable.
 
I agree Joker, the new Touring model looks like a Harley Roadking with a R3 engine.:eek:. The reduction hp is not worth the small increase in torque. I'm going to hold out for a used Blue and white Classic with some accesoires and maybe add any touring stuff I might need. Question is, should I sell my TBA for a downpayment.;)
 
Destiny can wait, but do you have to?

Welcome TBA02. As to your question, YOU know the answer to it, don't you?. She's got to go now. The only issue is your own notion of the meaning of the word NOW. Jamie:cool:
 
R3 is not a bad tourer. Don't buy the new tourer, down on power and all dressed up...TuneBoy etc.

Spybot Search and Destroy.

WELCOME former-lurker:rolleyes: and not yet Captain. I understand a desire to get a good deal.
Joker mentioned TuneBoy. I'm not saying Tuneboy will be the answer to the 08 power reductions. But I'm willing to bet it will; unless the engine has taken on an entirely different dimension and stroke. There are a couple European distros of the R3 that are choked at the groin on HP, somewhere around or at the projected output of the 08 These too can be tuned with Tuneboy.

Spybot was/is a utility on the wife's machine. And she uses it in tandem with SuperAntispyware. The former is no longer FREE.
Allow me to tell you about SuperAntispyware FREE as well as AVG AntiVirus Free. I use the former on my newest machine (HP ZV6100), and have since upgraded the later as a paid subscriber, on three machines (2ea HP V6X00s as well as a servier, all AMD 64s), final cost $15 per year per machine. Finally: Windows Defender, which is a resident utility of Widows :mad:Vista :mad: can be downloaded and function with XP machines. This is MS's answer to further corruption of Vista, not that it needed help. I can find the direct link if necessary? I use XP and 2000 Pro and will kick and fight and finally quit if ever Vista is to be the answer.

Dahlonega, Ga! What a coincidence. I was just inquiring about a possible resident of Dahlonega.

Lets getter back on thread...Go get the bike. Quit whining. Put the America in the corner, cover it up with a bike cover and uncover and wax it once in a while. That will make you feel better. You ain't gonna ride the America any more anyway. It's just like my Bonnie. I tell myself I'm gonna ride it and I don't and if I do, it's just around the block. I'd sell the sucker but I got so much moolah in it with the sidecar and all the custom made ****te, I'd never get 1/2 of what I spent so I just keep it waxed, tires aired fuel tank full (I siphon it out for the lawnmower) and when people come over. they gawk at it because it's really neat but, I'd rather ride the Rocket because it's neater. When I cack out, it will most likely be in the estate and someone like Pigger will buy it and the cycle will start all over again.
