Pretty sure the HD big twin is the most efficient power unit ever designed in terms of converting gasoline to noise with almost no energy lost to the creation of horsepower. another thought I have is they may be heavy,overpriced, slow, and have shitty brakes, but they are quite easy to work on in the sense that you can quickly access the inside of the motor without spending all that time with the wrenches, simply by to TRYING to go 120 mph.sargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14582415856684023846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-50293740494990440532015-07-09T16:07:21.994-05:002015-07-09T16:07:21.994-05:00That’s funny Blaska.

You might want to look closer...since that little “M” down there and the lack of tenths of a mile means it’s the ODO, and not the Trip, plus even the over optimistic engineers at HD don’t design 100,000 mile trip meters for these bikes...but you probably knew that. Or maybe not? I’m guessing you and your obese “club members” are more into dressing up in your leathers and lace for a trip to the tavern, than actual riding. As far as pretending...I have a bike I bought the year before and it has 80,000 miles. Of course, I have other bikes, plus I don’t ride on the street as much as I used to...I’ve come to prefer road racing and MX. sargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14582415856684023846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-28582760161888476952015-07-09T09:47:27.040-05:002015-07-09T09:47:27.040-05:00Or that could be Tripmeter A or B — not reset, as...Or that could be Tripmeter A or B — not reset, as is often the case. I can tell you my cousin has ridden multi-miles with Walker. In any event, raising this topic says more about you than Walker.
