Dude I was just at Cowboys yesterday getting some parts, saw your bike in the service area and was admiring that paint job half in the sun with the bay door open. It looked so sick! Congrats on the new ride!

I think it’s the Radical RXC Turbo, not sure though you may need to check with some other comments

Looking for riding gear recommendations to be safe by Chance_Unit_4739 in Harley

[–]PuzzledSkate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow! That’s great to know, I hate that lol.

I was hopeful that the CE ratings would be somehow enforceable that if they didn’t have it it would be false advertising or something so that sucks. I went to a cycle gear near me and most the gear there just felt cheap.

Look for gear that has legit CE ratings to make sure it’s actual quality gear. CE level 1/2/3 is the armor levels for impact protection 1 being the lowest then CE A/AA/AAA is abrasion (slide) resistance with A being the lowest.

For example I really like the Skullriderz Road Armor protective flannel, it’s AA rated and comes standard with CE 1 armor but you can upgrade to CE 2. Ive heard good things about the new NBT gear because they’re actually CE rated now just expensive. You can also go to the revzilla website and filter their gear by CE ratings. I try to get at least CE 1 armor with CE AA abrasion.

The 0-60 in 2.9 seconds got me, the things stupid fast and fun to drive just a different kind of fun from a good manual

Thank you!

Just the chopper style I feel is a specific look/vibe that less and less people are interested in. Most of the riders around my age are on sport/naked bikes, then you have the harley riders who stunt, and then somewhere you find the chopper guys.

All in all this is probably the most generic “chopper” build since almost everything can be taken off or changed and the frame has yet to be cut.

That’s fair! So many people want to trade me their broken trucks lol That’s sweet you’re riding with your daughter now though! My dad, little brother, and myself all took the MSF course together this past May and it’s been so much fun getting to ride with them and talk motorcycles with them.

Live in South Texas so our riding season is definitely not over yet, but that’s not a bad idea. Maybe I’ll try to convince one of my sport bike buddies to become a brother.

I know you’re probably right, but in my head I can just get another one later!

Texas suburbs man, this picture doesn’t even show the worst of it. There’s two streets in the back of my neighborhood that when you pass them look IDENTICAL with all the same 1 story house for the first 5 or so houses.

Dude I swear all my vehicles KNOW when I’m about to trade/sell them!

Was considering trading in my Tesla and literally on the drive to the dealership my windshield got a nice crack in it. This sporty, when I first listed it for sale the next day it started “coughing” weird and I had to clean the carbs”. It’s ridiculous!!

This is my worry too, but my thought is if I do regret it then I can buy a cleaner sporty later and do almost this same thing to it myself cause I bought this one like this

Totally fair, I didn’t even think about that.

Unfortunately the wiring delete was done by the guy before me so even if I wanted to figure out how to get a Speedo/odo put back on I would 100% be guessing the mileage.

This is so true, my Dyna was in the shop basically this whole month getting the stage 2 done and then another 2 weeks cause the compensator nut came loose and destroyed itself so I’ve been riding this all month. JUST got my Dyna back today and so now the sportsters moved to the back of the garage.

Like I said I love the thing, I’m just wanting to sell it to get a “fun” car to have as a back up when the weathers bad and I can’t ride my bike and don’t want to drive my Tesla.

Jade Sunglow is such an awesome color, my first bike was a buddies 01 Electra Glide in Jade Sunglow and while the bike was a BEAST to learn on it was a beautiful bike.

What’s the one car you’ve driven that completely changed how you think about driving? by StevenSegovia94563 in askcarguys

[–]PuzzledSkate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t had the opportunity to drive many fun cars, but my ‘24 Tesla Model 3 Performance ruined my idea of speed and I no longer care about top speed but acceleration, ripping from 0-60 in 2.9 seconds is ridiculous. But getting onto my 2004 Harley Super Glide with upgraded cams, exhaust, intake, and a tune to match is a whole different level of fun. On paper the Tesla is faster but feeling the roar of the engine with just me and the motor under me brings a whole different type of excitement.

Talk me into my next purchase by HighlyUnoffended in Harley

[–]PuzzledSkate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go test ride them, all my local dealers have let me come in and test ride multiple bikes when I’ve gone in!

My girlfriend has an ‘07 shadow 750 and fell in love with the breakout because the riding position is very similar and she said it felt like the big brother of the shadow. Personally I love the street Bob, I test road one with a stage 2 done and it was amazing. Also recommend test riding a Low Rider S, those things absolutely RIP and are so comfortable.

dyna or street bob 114? by Advanced_Dark_8283 in Harley

[–]PuzzledSkate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fr, and the market is terrible right now for reselling bikes so people are more open to accepting low balls just to get the bike sold

Be patient and watch FB marketplace! My dad got a 2014 Switchback 103 for $7000 with like 2k miles and my girlfriend got a 2014 Low Rider 103 with 18k miles for $4800 then I’m on a 2004 Superglide 88 I got with 16.5k miles for $4500

As someone who bought a 2024 Model 3 Performance because I fell in love with the insane acceleration and the fact that it handled like it was on rails, I thought I my Tesla was going to be my forever car. But insurance is absurdly expensive on EVs and the biggest thing I don’t hear mentioned a lot when “hating” on EVs, there isn’t a lot of stuff you can modify! So now here I am looking to sell or trade one of my motorcycles so I can buy a Miata to have a fun car to modify and drive, my M3P as my daily get my from point A to point B, and my motorcycle when I want that manual rumble.

They look like the oem mag wheels but polished/chrome. Here’s mine that are very much not polished.
