CFM Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Anyone out here (Laconia NH) for bike week ? Pretty damn busy this year. Last year was weird as there was no bike week and thus no week long 24/7 v twin noise bouncing around the lakes and mountains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty good week for it this year not all rain for once. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the same in New England. Same crew just getting older. I hung up the racing at age 54, ended up 4th overall in 45 plus expert and 5th in 50+. Bought a KTM 450sxf in 05 but lost the drive to race. Started hitting things I used to skip or jump over, and she threw me on the ground a few times. I just bought a boat and said fuckit.

Yep...better safe than turn your melon to mush...These bikes today are FAR superior to anything from the 20th century and beyond until 2010+...Then put a fearless kid on the bike, and it's amazing how fast they can go...I spent most of the day at the triple jump...The way the track is setup no one could sky all 3...but a kid racing in 125-A on a 2 smoke KTM was landing further between 2&3 than the 250-A and 450-Pro guys were...The track is 1.25 miles...The kid on that 125 KTM was doing laps consistent right @ 2.00...The lead rider in the 250-A class was less than 2 seconds faster than him...(1.58.7 Lap) Edited June 17, 2021 by SlugsOnSleds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t mean this thread, but in general people are always talking shit about them. Like I think Volkswagen’s are junk but if someone shows up to a bbq with one I don’t feel the need to tell the owner what a lousy car they are. But wear a Harley shirt to the bbq and some loudmouth idiot is bound to say something about leaking oil or turning gas into noise without the harmful effects of horsepower The Volkswagen owner did not feel the need to announce to every one at tge party and every house he passed on the block that he was there with that annoying shitty sounding overpriced underpetfoming pile of shit. Not to mention the VW owner did not show up dressed like he was heading to a bondage party at Freddie Mercury's house just to make sure every one knew who made the anoying grand entrance . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdsky Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Why do Hardley riders need to keep getting louder and louder pipes? So they know the bike is running - Loud pipes save starter's lives..... Why is it now acceptable to ride a Hardley with a starter on it? Because the bitch can't kick it over anymore..... When do Hardley riders know when it's time to give up riding on two wheels? Depends...... I'll be here all week...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did not know they did fake carbs. When I bought it I thought they were carbs till I actually looked real close like had a screwdriver out to fuck with them before starting because it was sitting with old gas for some time lol Don't even know what yr they started putting injectors in those hollow bodys .

Interesting now I have to go look at the neck . Only reason I bought it was because I was full of regret for selling my 57 bsa few yre earlier. It did not help lol Looked all over the bike for a country or origin tag nothing. Looked around the web nothing. So must be Thailand if attempting to hide it ? Must be why I have not had any issues yet it it was a true brit bike it would be a anomaly not to be chasing electronic issues by now Edited June 20, 2021 by Ez ryder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdsky Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Another thing that grinds my gears: Why do Hardley rider's only ride 50 MPH? Any faster and they can't see where the parts fell off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
