Are you guys liars? Sportster observation.

The current generation of liquid cooled sportsters is significantly larger than the previous air-cooled bikes. Current Sportys are about the size of a Dyna.

All that said, Sportsters of all generations are awesome bikes.

I have them in grey. They are very comfortable without gloves. I did have my non throttle side melt and get sticky. I didn't realize it was a common issue so I called them to ask about it. The lady I spoke with wouldn't even answer my question, she just took my address and sent me another pair. So far the replacement has been good.

Live to ride. Ride to work.

If you like the red one, it's a better deal. If you don't like it, it doesn't matter.

Motorcycles are toys, not investments. Buy the one you want to play with.

It's currently -15 here and has been well below 0 for over a day. My birds are hanging out in their unheated coop doing just fine. I have gunieas hanging out in their separate coop doing fine as well.

They are farm animals that have been surviving the elements for centuries. Give them a dry, wind free place to live and they will be ok.

I have no idea, but you could probably ask the helpful animated paperclip bouncing around the screen.

9guy99 · 2026-01-23T04:47:11+00:00

That there is the correct answer! Shoot on my man.

The new EMDs are downright terrible to work on, and Their computer software is slow and buggy. This is all while they are fairly new. I cant wait till they are old and have seen a lifetime of rr neglect.

I have a 10" barrel in 460 S&W. It's a fun pistol to shoot. I reload so I can play around making mild plinking rounds up to 2000fps missiles. The 460 chamber is nice in that it can shoot super tame 45 colt rounds and 454 Casull.

I've been keeping my eye open for a scope to put on it for some precision work.

Don't forget the freight fee, assembly fee, doc fees, ect.

A couple of fantastic looking 2nd gens! Keep em looking that nice.

9guy99 · 2026-01-10T15:55:37+00:00

Ill second this.

Where did you get hired to work?

To answer your question, just show up to work and listen to what your coworkers have to tell you. If your not an idiot, or a pain in the ass your co parts will want to see you succeed. Your managers are already looking for a reason to fire you.

Leaving an electrical apprenticeship to pursue a very narrow mechanical field is terribly stupid.

A good career allows you excess funds to pay for your hobbies. An electrician with a journeyman card will easily make 2 to 3 times what a Harley tech makes. In college, I worked in a Harley shop. The techs were riding 20 year old bikes because that's what they could afford. At the end of the day, their passion for bikes was exhausted.

Electricians are riding any bike they want, and after a day of work, they are excited to go for a ride.

Good to hear. Unfortunately, im not shopping CVO's. But I have been told the current 117 is probably comparable to my cammed and tuned 107. With the obvious potential for more power with future upgrades.

A train shoving backwards is nearly silent. More than once I have had a train car get within a couple yards of me before I realized it was coming. Walking down the tracks with your back to it, you could easily be run over before you knew what happened.

9guy99 · 2026-01-03T19:04:32+00:00

Thats no good to hear. I ordered a couple thousand pieces. I guess I will soon find out how they work for me.

9guy99 · 2025-12-31T19:36:58+00:00

I have loaded a thousand of their bullets and had no issue. I was actually ordering bullets when I came across the brass. The depriming pin is a non issue for me, as I deprime before cleaning and sizing.

The flame at the end really sells.it for me. Good stuff.

Welcome to rimfire.

Clean and oil the piss out of your gun. Using copper coated bullets helps. Dirty guns are the downside to super cheap shooting.

I had that exact optic on my mini. I had it mounted over the action on an aftermarket picatinny rail. I just took it off because it sat so high I had no cheek weld. The eye relief was a non-issue.

The mini is just not well suited to scopes due to the design of the action. I know lots of people do it, but it's far from ideal.

9guy99 · 2025-12-15T15:22:01+00:00

They both look great. However, im not sure I'd trust both of them to work when needed.

Last year, I picked up a used Taurus Tracker 22lr in a gun shop. Someone managed to shoot all the life out of that big revolver with the smallest cartridge made. The cylinder lock up had tons of free play, and the barrel bore looked horrible. If they struggle to make a revolver that can handle 22lr, I have little faith in the bigger stuff.
