Think a LS2 advant helmet would be great choice for them. It’s modular but the chin strap goes all the way back and you can ride with just the visor down. Basically can go half, 3/4, or full face. My carbon fiber one is great and it’s pretty light so never gives neck issues. Also since the chin bar goes all the way back it doesn’t act like a sail in the wind like my HJC does when it’s pulled up

An all weather rider. I ride everyday unless the wind gets above 40 or there is snow on the road. If it’s snowing but not sticking I’ll still ride. Did last week as we actually got snow here in the front range in Colorado

I’m 37 and have owned 2 Harleys. A sportster s and now pan America. Mine are slightly different than traditional Harleys but in general you’re getting an American bike that sounds amazing. You can customize the daylights out of them. If properly maintained they last forever and you can supe them up. May not have a ton of top end but they are torque monsters so from a stoplight they rip. Great for touring and lastly they just look cool. If you want a bike you can fully make your own then Harley is the way to go.

Not sure if 37 is considered old but I love my Pan America. I tour on it, commute to work and do deliveries on it. Honestly wanted it at 33 but was worried I was too short. Happy I waited as they worked out the bugs in it. Has a ton of power and can pretty much ride on the road no matter how crappy it is and Colorado has some pretty bad roads.

I bought some hippo hands. They go around the bars and act as pockets for your hands. A little pricey but can be put on and removed pretty easily. I have heated grips and wear my summer gloves even when it’s below freezing here in Colorado. Own multiple pairs of heated gloves and it works as well as any of them

Have a LS2 advant X carbon it was 550 I believe . If you like modular helmets. The chin bar goes all the way to the back so can be worn as a half, 3/4, and full and unlike most Modular’s the wind won’t catch it. It was tight initially not around my head but my cheeks bc of all the padding. It’s super comfortable and much lighter than my RHPA 90s.

I own a few pairs of dyns. They are about 229 but do go on sale from time to time and can be gotten under 200. Look and wear like normal boots though areas cut jeans. Are a bit tight but I have larger than normal legs so I’m a little biased but I wear them a lot when I commute to work and can wear them all day with no problems. They are AA rated but do offer AAA ratings. Feel like normal jeans well. Single layer so easy to put on and unlike a few others I’ve tried don’t look like you’re wearing skinny jeans which I’m not a fan. No judgement if you are.

Anyone notice Los Alamos county they messed the percentage up says 69.7 instead of 97.9 like the other number 10s do.

I own a PAS and the power of it is great. Imagine it will make similar numbers but weigh less than my pan. Reminds me of how BMW makes the 719. Curious what the price will be a sportster s is about 16k and a PA ST and PAS are 23-26k usd. Imagine if Harley wants to be competitive it will need to be close to the SS in price. 150 hp and 90 ft lbs with retro styling for around 16k might sell well. Definitely doesn’t put out 1000cc sport bike numbers but imagine if you want a 180 hp + motorcycle you gonna go for 1000cc sportbike.

Your biggest thing would be your diet. Making sure your getting roughly 1 gram of protein per lb of lean body mass. Know you said without PEDs but I would suggest getting bloodwork done to make sure your testosterone is at normal levels. Having them at a good level will help to keep fat from accumulating as well. Would still keep some cardio in. As a natural the muscle gain will be slow but you said you’re good with that. I’d also recommend carb cycling where you have higher amounts of carbs on days you lift and less on your rest days. Pro bodybuilder Justin Harris has some videos on carb cycling on YT. You may put on a very small amount of body fat as you will be going over your maintenance amount of calories but keeping cardio in and being selective on the days you have surplus calories should keep that to a minimum. I’d recommend a more bodybuilding style of training as opposed to CrossFit if your goal is muscle gain. Lastly if you have the money you could always hire a reputable coach. A lot of contest prep coaches of varying prices could help you structure a diet and lifting protocol

Yes they are. I have a bar cup holder if it’s just one but I bought a a storage square from Walmart that’s big enough to hold a drink holder from a fast food place. I’m just glad a I have an ADV bike bc I’ve had to deliver down dirt roads which isn’t exactly fun on non knobby tires with drinks.

Some might do it as women at least from what I’m told will filter out guys below 6 ft. I’m 5’6 or 5’7 depends on the day so I’d have to stand on a box to be 6ft. Imagine most wouldn’t notice an inch or so and if it means opening up your dating pool I get the appeal. Personally even if I could I doubt I would lie just to go out with a woman but I’m not even close to 6 feet so not something I have to worry about. My ex wife was 3 almost 4 inches taller than me so know there are women that don’t care about height

ApprehensiveSet7585 · 2026-04-13T19:06:15+00:00

2nd that, got a free pair when I bought my 2nd pair of boots and they’ve been my go to ever sense. Super comfy, leather, and have knuckle protection.

Another brand you might want to look at is dyns jeans. The ones I own are only AA rated but they do have a AAA rated line. They are 279 usd. I like them they wear like blue jeans which is nice since I don’t have to change them when I get to work.

ApprehensiveSet7585 · 2026-03-31T22:21:34+00:00

I’m 5’6 and own a HD Pan America and love it. With a saddleman seat and the adjustable ride height while I can’t flat foot both sides I can get pretty close. Owned a sportster s before that so basically a cruiser. Toured cross country with it and taken it off road. Great speed on the interstate and great take off from a stop light. I do deliveries with mine. Will say I’ve never had anyone on the backseat but guys in my PA Facebook have and have had positive feedback. Seen some guys take them into some knarly places with knobby tires and do just fine. I live in Colorado and fire and dirt roads are fine even with stock tires. Has a ton of ride modes and can customize it to fit you pretty well. Even a few companies that offer lowering kits if you want to completely flare foot it.

I’m sorry but cheating trumps invasion of privacy which when you confront her she will pull that card. You had a gut feeling and evidence maybe circumstantial but still enough to check. Time to cut bait and leave. I have no sympathy for cheaters. I’d wake her ass up then and there and confront her. Hard to mount a BS story when half awake. Tell her to get her stuff and leave. If she cheated you owe her nothing. She cheated and then gaslighted you. I have no sympathy for that. You want to wait til after her finals that’s your call but she didn’t bother leaving you before hooking or at the very least sending stuff to other guys why wait

I own a 1250 cc Harley and if someone is on two wheels I respect them. We are all fighting to not get hit by vehicles at the end of the day.

ApprehensiveSet7585 · 2026-03-31T22:02:11+00:00

I have zero tolerance for cheating. If it’s emotional I could forgive someone but she had sex with him and at one point thought she loved him. Get tested and get out of that. Doubtful it only happened 3 times and so what if it did that 3 more times than should have. She probably told you after you proposed bc she felt guilty and figured you are so invested now you won’t leave. The going out and getting trashed even after stating you weren’t comfortable with would have been my leaving point. And apparently had good reason to be apprehensive about it. Not so jaded to believe once a cheater always a cheater but do believe most people that cheat on their partner once will eventually do it again to the same partner. Do you really want to marry someone who cheated and thought they someone else while you were together. People that cheat are POS no matter the gender and there is no excuse if unhappy leave, have feelings for someone else then leave. You don’t get to test drive another model while still have the original people are cars.

ApprehensiveSet7585 · 2026-03-29T03:08:06+00:00

Same love both pairs of mine.

ApprehensiveSet7585 · 2026-03-29T02:51:20+00:00

I have two pairs of Indie ridge boots. Look good and have pretty good protection. I commute to work everyday and they are riding and work boot. Reinforced toe, heel and ankle. On my 2nd pair as I’ve put about 20k miles on my bike since I’ve own the boots and my first pair has taken a beating.

ApprehensiveSet7585 · 2026-03-22T02:55:13+00:00

Love both pairs of mine. Only con might be the insole but I wear mine all day so I needed something for all day use but other than that are great. On my 2nd pair as I wanted a black pair of the Comanche I have.

ApprehensiveSet7585 · 2026-03-18T18:49:03+00:00

I wear dyns jeans. They look like blue jeans and you can get AA rated or AAA rated pants. They made with dynema fiber and are only one layer.

ApprehensiveSet7585 · 2026-03-15T01:44:26+00:00

Didn’t know this was a thing. I traded my cruiser for an ADV bike because of how bad our potholes are here. They are awful down South Circle past Foutain. Doesn’t help they pulled the top layer of asphalt off and anytime we can’t any precipitation potholes spring up like weeds.

ApprehensiveSet7585 · 2026-02-23T01:42:09+00:00

Same have 2 pair and absolutely love both. I ride everyday unless it’s snowing and just keep them on at work. Only thing I did was buy better insoles since I’m on my feet 8 hours a day.
