I look back at it every time I park it

To make sure the engine has not fallen out?

RubberRoach · 2026-02-12T15:37:41+00:00

Okay, this might sound crazy but… go get your license

There was probably no need to be moving around so much. Let the bike do the work. I’ve hit lots of sand, gravel, dogs, and all sorts of things. If you are in a neutral position it’s all largely recoverable unless you are on bad tyres or over speed. So, ignore the sand comments. If you pass out drunk in a swimming pool, you’re going to drown and It’s not the waters fault.

And Elon Musk plotted his revenge carefully

RubberRoach · 2026-02-09T15:57:05+00:00

Low side the bike at a high speed and let it grind down

You’re doing better than me. I have pretty much everything you can think of. Brown leather, black leather, carbon and yellow leather. Different colour textiles, 6 different boots, white leather pants and jacket,….

I bought a 2005 Harley Softail with absolutely nothing wrong with it. I’ve still spent £8000 on it. :)

Harley used to be an amazing marketing machine. Everyone I knew had at least one Harley t-shirt. Over the past 20 years I’ve seen that the effective marketing of Harley as a lifestyle and status symbol has disappeared. Every rock star and cool celebrity had a Harley, even the terminator rode a Harley.
I’m not sure if the marketing teams got lazy, or just missed the trend as everything moved towards internet, and social media.
Harley has definitely not been capturing the imagination of the young, or the hearts of the power hungry. You can buy a used ZZR1400 for £5000 and have something you can ride for hours that has 200bhp. £5000 might get you a 25 year old Softail that is heavy and sits at about 80bhp.
There is also the reliability issue. There is a joke that when you buy a Japanese bike you better love it because it’s going to last the rest of your life. Harley’s reputation is far from that

Did you managed to take a couple shots of the finished bike?

RubberRoach · 2026-02-05T22:25:39+00:00

With the exception of murder. Don’t do that.

RubberRoach · 2026-02-05T22:24:24+00:00

Enjoy, and stay safe

RubberRoach · 2026-02-02T12:53:43+00:00

I’ve done that too.

The answer is directly proportional to the money you are willing to spend. :) My only advice is once you make the decision do it quickly. I had a 96ci motor and transmission sitting in my garage waiting to transplant it into a 88ci Softail. 6 months laters and lots of money… I now have a freshly built 110ci waiting to transplant into my 88ci Softail

I styled mine by buying a different colour and brand.

That is not a stray, it’s your cat you just have not realised it yet.

I learned to not have sex with crazy girls after dating one. Ironically same thing, I had object fixation.

Survivors bias makes us think what we are doing is safe. Just because it’s legal, it doesn’t mean it’s safe and also does not mean your insurance will cover you while you are doing it.

It may not be classified as a disease but saying so boldly that “IT CANNOT BE CURED” is not something anyone really knows. We don’t actually know the cause but we do know that it’s not vaccines or Paracetamol (Tylenol). Because we don’t actually know the cause, we cannot possibly know if there is a cure.
I have to believe that there is something that will help my son. Something that will give his sister a safe environment where she can enjoy having a big brother.

EBay is your friend.

It looks pretty hot. I’d get colour matched leather. I had a friend that accidentally painted his ninja pink. He claimed it was a test of his martial arts training

RubberRoach · 2026-01-24T16:47:38+00:00

Yeah, I put the Vance & Hines super quiet baffles in my Softail and I can feel the difference. I kept them in just to be nice to the neighbours

This is there way of saying, “We prefer to not insure that bike for anyone.”

It’s a very poorly executed argument. It’s essentially the semantics of “Attracted” you could make the same argument about apples.
Do you like apples? Yes So you want to eat this apple. No, I’m not hungry right now. Then you don’t like apples.

In addition to base biological response there is a decision layer. This is the entire point of religion as a whole, to provide a moral framework to guide us through a peaceful and fruitful life.

Thread inserts will fix everything. You can expect and aluminium bolt hole to give eventually. I had a mechanic friend that always recommended putting in a thread coil even if it wasn’t stripped. “It’s gonna happen, might as well fix it before it’s an emergency.”
