D'you know............I ride a Harley..........I hang out with peple who ride Harleys............sure some are reasonably wealthy, lets face it, to own most Harleys you've got to have a few quid, but the people I've met have generally been regular guys who have owned bikes for years and always aspired to owning a Harley. The majority are not 'Badass Outlaw' but certainly no less the biker than your average jap rider, infact there are some real nasty looking dudes that wear a HOG chapter patch, but even the ones who don't fit the characature of 'Badass Outlaw' you really wouldn't want to piss off. I find that most people who slag off Harleys and their riders have little in the way of experience of either the bikes or the riders. The HOG members have a great time, attending rallies in this country and abroad, going on ride outs, and yes attending parades and carnivals, all of these activities are bike based, with the added bonus of lashings of beer.
Oh, and my Harley is much louder than your 650 Dragstar, even with your straight through pipes, gauranteed, I know 'cause I've had both LOL!.
LOL i have no beef against Harley riders at all i absolutley WANT a harley (my step dads also got a 1988 sporty) my post was merly a dig at those with more money than me who can afford one lol (jelousy)

Yer but come off it, Harley riders these days are nothing like the "Bad Ass bikers" back in the day they are more than likely mid life crissis bank managers with more money than sense that just wanna cruse around parades flashing off all ther chrome parts they have just spent the past year polishing. Thats why yours are louder lol ( o hello Mr Hells angel lol)

Right it cant be excess air through the pipes to make her back fire etc so its gotta be over fueling slightly so a re-jet and your baffles "should" do the trick (i wont say will just in case there some other under lining issue which is making her pop lol) but im shore it will make a big differance. Not shore on the price on a rejet as mines already been done (so im told) but im sure if you set a side £200 then that should more than cover it.
And yes those two small neat little holes are for condensation build up, just a way of stopping the pipes rotting from the inside out.

Hey bud, with the back firing/ popping stupid question but....have you tightened the pipes up the the correct tourque settings and replaced the gasket? you "MAY" have a blow on the engine to exhaust join, thats what happened to me when i put my new pipes on being a cheap ass i couldn't be fucked with getting a new gasket right away so i threw the pipes on and they where popping n banging away like a good'en setting off a few car alarms on the way but once i got a new gasket and tightened up to the correct setting job was a propper one!
Just a thought tho, you may have already done it but it sounds like you got excess air going through the pipes which is making them bang.
All the best

Hey guys, well not much has happened to the bike over the last week or so, one becuase of the flipping weather freeking out now and then and also cause any chance i could i was out riding it. but this week end or the week end after she is coming off the road. With that in mind her is the next thing on the shopping list and if any one else is after one of this size its the best one for that price! spent a whole day comparing prices and its the cheapest one but with good reviews!
All the best

I totally agree with ya girl! i too have a spinal injury, (not as bad as you have had it ) i slipped two discs, straightend the lumber spine, in result my discs are degenerating faster than normal and i have siatiker all from a accident when i was serving in the Army. Been through rehab etc and im ok but still not 100% but at the age of 23 i aint gunna let it stop me and nor should it stop you (which as we can see its not lol)
Crack on and get your test done (not sure how old you are but if your over 21 get your direct access done soon) and get your self a monster i test rode one and its fantastic for both upright possision and for a bit of knee down shits and giggles, i also had a spin on a Suzuki sv 650 which i found a bit too over the tank and after a 20min ride i had to turn back and get off as my back wouldn't take any more.

I agree, its a fantastic film/tribute to Burt Monro's life and how he made the journy from Invicargil (written with one L to save ink lol) all the way to the Salt flats. If i was a single man and wasn't blessed with my Daughter i would most def have a plot of land with just a garage to tinker on bikes!
Burt was and still is a legend a guy who made the phrase "couse we can" a fact.......Why did he make his indian go 200MPH?........ cause he can!

ditch the pillion, saves money on comms gear & saves on fuel & gives you better performance. buy her a nitting kit or a 5000 piece puzzle set......keeps her happy for those long hours your away ;o)

Hi Mike Welcome to the club!
Nice choice in number of bikes think if i had the money id have a different bike for different days of the week!
As Ttaskmaster said, get as much time on the road as you can... if you live near a busy town center, deliberatly go out on the bike a rush hour (be carful tho as there are some twats out there) but this will get you use to slow manuvering and clutch control and confideance around other traffic. Any one can ride on quiet roads but un till you meet traffic...thats when your riding skills are tested and learned.
I wish you all the luck mate, just relax and take all the time you need...after all...you paid for the bladdey thing its your time your using some take things slow. ;o)

Some more you tube Vids

Hey guys, i know its nothing to do with bikes buti think this is worthy of a thread.
A English based team are currently in the process of building "bloodhound SSC" which is a Rocket and jet powered car (engine from a Euro fighter) which will be able to reach over 1000MPH!!! it will have about 100,000BHP but you cant really put a BHP figure on a jet engine as its all about thrust. 0-1000MPH will take 42 SECONDS! Its has three braking systems which are an air brake deployed at 800MHP followed by Parachutes at 600MPH followed by Friction brakes at 200MPH
And just to put the speed into perspective here is what it will do
Four and a half football pitches in 1 second
150 metres in the blink of an eye
faster than a bullet fired from a Magnum 357
Its own car length in less than 3 hundredths of a second
You tube computer simulation of it
FANTASTIC!

How do you know that you have a high sperm count?

I had a similar thing happen to me with a BMW driver, petrol station was full and he was behind me waiting, i nip in to pay for my fuel (only 2nd in the que) looks out to double check my pump number and lo and behold Mr BMW driver is out and moving my bike! but i always put my steering lock on (just in case wank knob turns up to take my bike) and as Mr BMW driver picks up my bike gose to turn the bars and near on drops my bike!
Lets just say he didn't get his petrol from that station. Un fortunatly i didn't get to "correct him" in his "fo par" moment as there was too much of a crowd and you know who would be buggered by PC plod

hey noise
well my own personal choice would be satin black frame with matt green tins
but i'm also liking the cammo cream idea as well
tis gonna be an awesome bike though no matter what you go with methinks
Dave
Cheers man, well Green was my first chioce but then i started thinking of the other colours n got greedy and couldn't stop thinking "well that colour is nice......but so is that one......and that one!" :oD
Well here are some more pics to give you guys a quick look see at her.
Those fender stays are going as they are far too bulky and ugly! so im def going for the old school sissy bar idea but i will run with these stays till she comes off the road as they are working as they should. I popped round me staep dads last night n i noticed he still has his old 2005 Harley soft tail tank that is laying in the loft which im sure after a few mods will go nicely on my bike :oD bigger tank = more fuel and a more bad ass look lol
We will see

Right with only around 1 month of riding weather left of this year (if that snow dose arrive that is) it will soon be time to SORN the bobber and start the long old strip and re-build, so im starting to think of colours? its gotta be "bad ass"
so im thinking:
*Satin black frame with matt green tins.
*Go all black with satin black frame, gloss black tins with matt black engine parts.
*Matt black frame with pearl white and gloss black tins
*Statin black frame and a dark matt Orange tins
*Matt black frame with desert cammo cream on the tins (like OCC did for there latest help 4 heros bike)
I will be talking to the chap on my Ebay about this springer from end in the coming month once i have paid the credit card off from buying my nice new 2.5 V6 car (dribbles) then the springer is next on the shopping list!

have you got carbs or injectors?
If you still get the problem after lubing up the cables then if you have carbs then it "could" be a diaphram becoming technically F**KED But thats the worst case
-
Hi Mate,
Take off said throttle from your handle bars and grease up your bars (i use bearing grease) replace your twist grip (not too far in as that will course it to stick) give that a go 1st.....if that dont work then id then start looking to see if your cable is rooted correctly as it could be a snag some where along the line. Lastly and most costly would be an internal part of the clutch on its way out?
But try the other two to start with. ;o)

Well i have just spent my lunch break trying to find pics of this protest (if you wanna call it that) and any thing on the news about it and i gotta say that its pretty poor.......yes all the big places like kKent and that have there pics etc but what about the rest of the country? i cant get MAG's web site to work and there is only a snipet on BBC news of it along with one worthless cage driver moaning that we heald them up and the fact that we all should wear high viz all the time as they didn't see a biker and T boned them! Dont get me wrong High viz is great and if the weather is shit then i don on the gear but if its clear weather E.G sun shine and clear conditions then im afraid i aint wearing it just because some car driver is too dim whitted and cant look through a pain of glass past there f**king snout.
I agree that there should be MORE protests for a longer distance and on a Saturday when they are trying to enjoy THERE free time. I dont care as i will be enjoying MY free time on my toy, couldn't give a crap if they wanna be stuck in there cars with the screaming kids, as i will be out in the fresh air enjoying the cool breeze with the lads. ;o)
All the best

FANTASTIC DAY! loads of bikes (prob bout 300-400 ish) o and one rather big V8 blower trike! lol had a good day out with Auzz and a mate from work and a nice slow ride down the A303 few un happy car drivers but a few where happy to see the variaty of bikes out.
i think another few rallies are needed as there was no media involved so im not 100% sure how our voices will be heard?
Yes a 1 mile long rolling road block is a pain in the arse and will grip most car drivers shit but with out even the smallest bit of media then how is it gunna go un heard?
Well we will see i guess.
My Bobber project
