it is NOT.

and that's because it's from Slaughterhouse 5 by Vonnegut.


My usage is more for the transitive than mortality.

and thanks a lot for making me turn off Tool to listen to that gay ass shit. ;)

You can turn your tool on and off just like that. Wow.:notworthy

That Nick owe tune smacks of Thin Lizzy. Sort of "The Boys Are Back In Town"-ish.

Kinda.

Yes it does. I hate that fucken song

82 days ago, we traded an '05 Harley Davidson Electra Glide

It sat in the showroom all this time waiting for someone to buy it. The used car manager said he wanted it, but didn't have the money... I told him that if he was gonna pass, I'd take it. After 75 days, it needed to be wholesaled. He finally told me on Thursday that he wasn't going to buy it. I thought about it for about 3 minutes and bought it. I don't need it. I now have to figure out how to fit it in the garage with my Yamaha... But it was only $1800, and the wholesaler had offered $4000. It's got terrible paint and high miles (52300) but it's in good mechanical condition, fresh tires, etc. So I caught a break with the weather today, and I'm riding it home after work.

I'll ride it a while, maybe use it for longer trips... and sell it on. unless I love it, and want to keep it.....

And you didn't even have to wear a mask. Score! :thumb2:

Great deal, man. Lots of 'Glides out there with 100,000+ miles. 50k miles is barely out of the shakedown run.

That there is a bargain bro, congrats!

Rode it about 10 miles today with Amanda. She approved. Much more secure feeling for the passenger, what with the foot platforms and arm rests. It even has chrome bars for her to hold onto next to her seat. It handles better than the VStar in corners, but not as nimble at low speed. And they both fit it my garage!

I've heard, and read, that their handling belies their size.

I'd be interested to know how suspension travel compares to the Yamaha.

The Yamaha has a 450lb payload. The HD has 523. You feel bumps much harder on the former.

And the handling in corners may be smoother because the front tire is bigger. I get to a point on the Yamaha where I feel resistance to leaning any further, and I'm thinking that might be the edge of the skinny front tire...

Well, the electra Glide passed PA inspection today. I really like riding it. I mean a lot. It's smooth as glass, and surprisingly nimble for a big bike. The ferring is much more effective in shielding you from the wind, and it's barely working at 80 mph.

I liked it so much today that I began to wonder about selling the Yamaha and sprucing this one up with the money.

And then I took the Yamaha out to the store. Nope. Definitely not selling that bike. It's like home. So loud and raucous. And it's so familiar, I don't have to think. It just goes there. Guess I'm going to have a crowded garage for a while.

Oh, I also replaced the rubber pads in the front floorboards today. The right side one was hanging by one of four rubber mounts. 1st official upgrade. And I got replacement hardware for the tour pack mount, as that rattles annoyingly. Didn't install that yet. That might get involved. And I need a new front tire soon. And I ordered an X-grip phone mount like I have on the Yamaha.

Just when I had the Yamaha finished and was done spending money at revzilla....
