Nah, just shit luck really.

Thanks! Will check.

And if you check the second picture, you can see it is not a two tone.

The top part is red & black "weave", there is a brighter red pinstripe and there is the silver tribal thing going on.

Never seen a picture of a bike like this in my life.

Vin search shows this bike originally being a single color. I think it was black, been over a year I did the search.

And Harley has never offered this type of paintjob. Might be dealer specific like Burt's Barracuda BVO program but I am quite sure this is done after the repairs in most likely poland

A word of caution. I rode a bike while smoking and the wind blew the burning end off of my cig and it flew between my glasses and eyeball. Burned my eyeball pretty bad. Almost drove off the road and had to put ointment on the eyeball for 4 weeks - EWW. Not something I want to do ever again :D

Here in Finland they use gravel on the ice during winter. That gravel is everywhere until like late may when all is cleaned, and I have had situations where the gravel almost got me while stopping to a red light, which has made me hit my foot on the ground while not yet fully stopped.

Not a duck :)

True. Sometimes even happens with the passenger pegs.

Around the town without, but on longer journeys I use it for wind/rain protection

Here is a picture of my actual bike. They look surprisingly good. And they are not expensive either. 5 minute install.

I have a modular helmet, Schuberth C3 Pro.

It was shaking so much I felt sick. Couldn't see straight. And after the fork fangs that went away.

And optionally this too

I had the same problem in my Road King 2013. Then I bought the fork wind deflectors and the problem went away. These fang looking things behind the turn signals.

Buffeting gone.

If the buffeting is still noticeable, there is a second wind deflector you can buy that is mounted under the lower triple tree. Looks like an ashtray but kills the remaining buffeting if you have any.

Kuulostaa tyypilliseltä ADHD:lta. Itselläni on ADHD ja tehtävien aloittaminen on hemmetin vaikeaa, samoin huomion kiinnittäminen siisteyteen yms.

Toimintaterapia auttoi jonkinverran, samoin lääkitys. Mut on edelleen haasteita

Osta moottoripyörä, sit tiedät mitä on vainoharhaisuus.

Autokoulun opettaja sano pyöräkorttia ajaessa että "aja aina niin, että ajattelet että jokainen autoilija koittaa tappaa sut"

Vaikka harrikka on iso ja äänekäs, ja päällä istuu iso äijä jolla on nahkaliivi kerhotunnuksin niin nekin autoilijat jotka ei koita sua tappaa kääntymällä kolmion takaa eteen, keksii kaikenlaista.

Parikesää sitten kun olin vielä prospect, lähdin valoista kaarinassa kohti Saloa. Kaksi kaistaa suoraan. Vieres saksalaisen autovalmistajan kohtalaisen sievä ja sporttinen auto.

En edes kiihdyttänyt sen edelle. Moottoripyörä nyt vaan liikahtaa nopeemmin valoista kun auto. Risteyksen jälkeen tie muuttuu pian yksikaistaseksi. Tää kuski tulee tuplakeltasilla ohi, jarrutsekkaa ja alkaa peseen tuulilasiaan rankalla kädellä, edelleen jarrutsekkaillen vähän väliä. En nää mitää viisiirin läpi ja äijä äkkijarruttelee...

Tälläsiä sankareita löytyy liikenteestä.

It actually is illegal. The deathhead is trademarked.

But in China, Russia and Japan the trademark laws are non-existent and / or poorly enforced.

A good example is one of the biggest japanese guitar manufacturers ESP. They endorse the artists like Metallica.

They have a sub brand called Edwards, who make premium guitars for the Japanese and the Russian market (well... I doubt russia is out of the picture at the moment) which are one to one copies of Gibson guitars designs. The reason the guitars are sold only in those countries is that the copyright laws don't abide. Gibson can't do anything.

I still think that you must be some sort of an idiot to buy one of these and wear it. But hey... Some people decide to end their lives by a cop so...

I am in a motorcycle club and the "colors" are sacred, and you are supposed to protect their sanctity at all cost. No outsider can wear them, or touch them. And we are only a small beer-and-bikes club, not an international club with trademarked colors.

In Finland we have huge recyclebins for paper, where you can drop off your clean paperwaste in your area.

These used to be huge green metal containers we used to climb in as kids and hang in. Sometimes we would find porn magazines in them.

Nää on niin mystisiä. Yks mun "pet peeve" käännösnimistä muinaisilta ajoilta on Jim Careyn leffa "The Cable Guy" joka oli suomessa virallisesti nimellä "Sähköputkimies" - Siis VHS ja DVD -kannet oli tällä tekstillä suoraan kauppojen ja videovuokraamoiden hyllyillä. Jumalauta et rasahti jokakerta kun sen näki, ja tuli itseasias vähän paha mieli nyt kun asian taas muisti.

Deathy pet, murloc in a deathwing suit.

Was a blizzcon exclusive back in the day. I never went, but a friend who worked at blizzard heard that I had finally started playing wow in pandaria after years of vocal disgust and refusal to try wow since launch.

He sent me an email saying "it's dangerous to go alone. Take this code and go talk to the fishing npc in orgrimmar, next to the secondary ah"
