Topic: Bye Bye Dyna! It's been real.

Now if you want to experience "wallow" ride a 1980's Goldwing, my big black 'Wang would wobble and wallow all over the place, but that was just part of the fun of punting an 800 pound bike around fast curves. I'm kind of disappointed that my Rocket  III has a much stiffer chassis, the first I know when I've "over-cooked" a corner is when my foot boards dig in.

LOL - I'm considering buying my uncle's 83/84 GW Aspencade. Sounds like the adventure awaits...

Yeah mate, mine was a 1200 Interstate and I loved it, smooth as silk and surprisingly fast, but just like Harley big twins it's place was the freeway, unless you wanted to stress test your underpants........

My thinking is that harley haters and harley apologists can eat #$%* from the same pile.

must be a libtard...........

And a "libtard" is what exactly?
PM me.

 See... typical libtardspeak..

[Killer Canary]

I've struggled through 52 years not knowing that I'm a Libtard. 
Even more tragic, a Typical one.
I need some time to process all of this.
Excuse me.

 Now you know why you never fit in the square, round, rectangle, hex or oval shaped holes..
 Try the L shaped hole......

[Killer Canary]

Those were banned here years ago.
Don't distract me while I'm processing, Frank.

[Killer Canary]

I've had some time.
The word itself is demeaning to those who have genuine mental impairment; mine is acquired.
I would humbly request in the future that anyone who wishes to refer to me as that word to use the words "bran muffin"
in it's place; for example, "Killer Canary, you're such a Typical Bran Muffin for having views that differ from my own".

Thank you.

Perhaps it isn't the differing views that are expressed so much than it is the way they are expressed that causes the reaction?  But I think you know that.

[Killer Canary]

Yes it was very crude.
I'm better than that. Usually.
Are we able to delete our own posts?

[754]

Not to worry, I am finding the way it played out rather humerous.
There has been comments on here that truly passed people off, if that was the case here, someone will mention it soon.

[Killer Canary]

It's been kind of funny to be sure.
To me anyway.

I forgot to take that right turn at Albuquerque.

Oh, "TARD"! I get it, I thought he said "TURD"! What confused me was that Doug (obviously a Harley hater) insulted Harley haters and Harley "Apologists" alike, and told them to eat sh1t, so I was just wondering how he enjoyed his meal?

I'm not either, I'm a Harley enthusiast, probably the worst of them all!

Terry, I can forgive you for having a harley.

Must have been a pain in the butt to ride it across the oceans.

[Desert-SOHC]

HAHAHAHAHAHA.......................

I think your sporty is extremely tasteful Terry. It's a very pretty bike. That platform has always been wonderful.

The biggest problem with the new ones is their use of cheap materials.

In my opinion the sportster bikes could be Harley's biggest success, but the company is so freaking ignorant that they aren't.

I provided some larfs all around.
It was a good time.
"Dining With Doug" rings nicely.
The finest in domesticated animal dung served served up still steaming in each episoode.
Terry, you're not invited.

[Terry in Australia]

No worries Doug, I enjoyed the ride.....

One could argue that they are because of the dozen or so "Dark Custom" versions.

Google "harley death wobble" and you'll see how talented those cops are when dealing with inferior machinery.

I have had more "death wobbles" on a SOHC cb750 than I have had on every piece of HD machinery I have ever ridden and I ride an Ironhead sportster with knobbies on it:

You think the Japanese are "immune" from death wobble? the VTX1300 certainly suffered from it, 1200 goldwings suffered from it, the early suzuki GSXR's suffered from it so bad that the resultant lawsuits actually fundamentally changed products liability law. I'm pretty sure BMW touted it as a "feature" of the airheads and it's "rubber cow" nature.

If you want to #$%* about something related to HD, it's that they are overpriced. A 2017 Honda Fury is $10,299, I don't think a softtail slim is $500 worth of better motorcycle.

[SOHC4 Cafe Racer Fan]

I agree as to prices.

I remember seeing oodles of nearly new HD bikes at the regional auction back in 2009 (vastly outnumbering any other brand) -- repossessions being resold.  I heard that HD kept many stored so that the market for new bikes would not be eroded.
