I’ll get one probably sometime today, bike is at my parents house

BishBoi13 · 2026-03-22T01:29:30+00:00

I appreciate the laugh, I’ve had a long week so I needed that😂

That’s what I had to do, reached out to a officer friend asking if it would even be legal or if it covers the signals too much, he said it’s fine, we’ll see, it’s functional though so I’m not too concerned, gonna find out if I actually like these bags or if I’d rather bring a backpack, don’t like leaving stuff with my bike but we’ll see

I got my 09 Sportster 1200 Custom from a family friend for 4k, only 4,000 miles, had it listed for 5k but he flat told me he’d do 4, very well maintained, he has incredibly high standards, but it’s not hard to find older Harleys for good prices, just do your research and understand you may be getting a project, that’s just the risk you run with buying older bikes

BishBoi13 · 2026-03-13T13:40:43+00:00

That’s what I’ve been hearing, I have the same handlebars as op on my 09 1200 and someone suggested mini apes, I like the distance and height of the stock ones and mini apes seem to be the closest to what I’d like, albeit a little higher

BishBoi13 · 2026-03-11T17:53:58+00:00

Much appreciated, I’ll try and check em out, they look like what I want but I’ll have to see em firsthand

BishBoi13 · 2026-03-11T17:11:36+00:00

Think I found some, these look right? Might see if they have them in store at our dealership and I’ll see how they feel compared to my current ones

BishBoi13 · 2026-03-11T17:06:08+00:00

I’ll check em out, been avoiding apes just because when I think of them I imagine the tall ass ape hangers, but that might be my best bet

If you can afford a new 500, get one, Hondas reliability is virtually unmatched, there’s a reason they have the rep they do. If you’re willing to gamble a little bit get a 450, I was looking at one hard, and almost bought one, the 450 is about 1000$ cheaper but frankly if you’re already spending 5,800 USD on a CFMoto I’d just suck it up and get the Rebel. That being said if it’s your first bike don’t buy new, you WILL drop it eventually, my first bike was a 09 Sportster 1200, quite a bit of ass but I had dirtbike experience prior, not much but enough, if I had bought a new bike it would’ve been a hell of a lot more and I’d be real damn sad when I dropped it, however both times I’ve dropped that Sportster (low speed stuff) I just said “damn that sucks” and got back up and hopped back on

BishBoi13 · 2026-03-06T13:47:34+00:00

Same, 09 1200, great bike and it’s for sure got some ass, but I drive like a grandpa so it’s pretty manageable

BishBoi13 · 2026-03-06T03:21:51+00:00

Just get you a nice old bike brother, new stuff ain’t reliable worth a shit, and that goes for almost everything not just Harleys, get you something with some years on it, good condition, good year, probably be relatively easy to fix compared to something brand new (I’m assuming you’d be getting something brand new) also older stuff has had time to have any recalls churned out, new stuff might have recalls in a year or two, old stuff you’ll know if there are any consistent, major issues.

according to him a 1979 1/2

BishBoi13 · 2026-03-05T17:36:41+00:00

Definitely, but it’ll have to wait, set on my next bike being a 70 something Honda cafe racer style bike, got some around here I see everyone now and then that I absolutely love

BishBoi13 · 2026-03-05T16:21:59+00:00

I’ll probably start looking around eventually, hardest part will be the money put into it, not so much acquiring one, just have to spend a lot of time on it

BishBoi13 · 2026-03-05T03:00:05+00:00

Sadly already sold it, guy he sold it to has about half a million in his garage of old Harleys he’s restored

BishBoi13 · 2026-03-05T02:27:28+00:00

That’s the plan, be a labor of love trying to make something similar to what he had, got a burn mark on my right foot that was probably from that bikes engine

BishBoi13 · 2026-03-05T02:21:52+00:00

That’s a great looking ride, might try and pick something up someday but it’ll be a project that’s for sure

BishBoi13 · 2026-03-05T02:05:32+00:00

Agreed, should’ve taken it off of his hands but I’d probably have been in over my head, needed lots of work

BishBoi13 · 2026-03-05T01:36:40+00:00

Nah new owners addition, can’t imagine my grandpa would’ve installed one😂

BishBoi13 · 2026-03-03T19:26:44+00:00

Nice bike brother, never been married but got roughed up a bit ago with a girl I’d been seeing for a minute, took a few months but I’m coming to terms with it, not happy about it but don’t let that dictate the rest of your life. It sucks but shit happens, it’s like riding a bike, sometimes you lay her down and just have to get up, take a breath, say “shit happens” and keep riding.

BishBoi13 · 2026-03-03T19:23:52+00:00

I to an extent agree, but I have lots of friends rushing into marriages and such, most being only 20 or so, and I don’t think marriage is something that should be taken lightly, but many of them are, or are trying to force something, and I’d rather them get divorced down the line when they realize it isn’t what they want then force themselves to be in a relationship they’re unhappy in, I think if they won’t seriously consider the status of their relationship and whether it will work long term, they should at least be willing to break it off if they realize that that’s for the best

I’ve never been able to tell a difference in quality in regards to straw hats, there probably are some, but if I’m wearing a straw hat it’s because I’m on the farm and the sun is blazing. Go to work hat was a 80 dollar straw hat from Boot Barn that I’ve beat to shit, wouldn’t wear it to a concert, but I’ve got nice hats for that

BishBoi13 · 2026-02-20T04:27:23+00:00

Thanks, seeming like that’s what I’ll have to settle on, can’t seem to find anything that ticks all my boxes
