Sad, but that's the way the marble bounces!

Yea , well , that's 2 more things I don't know how to do . Upload a file , and copy and paste . Yep , I really am that computer illiterate. My daughter doesn't have the time or patience to school me . thought about taking a class , no time for that . Bought one of those Puter's for dummies books ,,, lost it . Really , other than looking at a few sites on the computer and looking up info here and there , I don't have that much interest in a computer .

 

A lot of those twin cams had some real problems , cam chains, cam bearings , crank bearings , is a few of the problems I heard of . When they 1st came out , the cam bearings was actually a nylon bushing that failed pretty regularly , some under 50,000 miles . You might be better off without that model anyway .

NEWS - HARLEY DAVIDSON SPEAKS TO DECLINING BIKE SALES
The reasons for the slump in sales at HD are not President Trump's fault.
Apparently the Baby-Boomers all have motorcycles. Generation X is only buying a few, and the next generation isn't buying any at all.
A recent study was done to find out why Millennials don't ride motorcycles:
1. Pants won't pull up far enough for them to straddle the seat.
2. Can't get their phone to their ear with a helmet on.
3. Can't use 2 hands to eat while driving.
4. They don't get a trophy and a recognition plaque just for buying one.
5. Don't have enough muscle to hold the bike up when stopped.
6. Might have a bug hit them in the face and then they would need emergency care.
7. Motorcycles don't have air conditioning.
8. They can't afford one because they spent 12 years in college trying to get a degree in Humanities, Social Studies or Gender Studies for which no jobs are available.
9. They are allergic to fresh air.
10. Their pajamas get caught on the exhaust pipes.
11. They might get their hands dirty checking the oil.
12 The handle bars have buttons and levers and cannot be controlled by touch-screen.
13. You have to shift manually and use something called a clutch.
14. It's too hard to take selfies while riding.
15. They don't come with training wheels like their bicycles did.
16. Motorcycles don't have power steering or power brakes.
17. Their nose ring interferes with the face shield.
18. They would have to use leg muscle to back up.
19. When they stop, a light breeze might blow exhaust in their face.
20. It could rain on them and expose them to non-soft water.
21. It might scare their therapy dog, and then the dog would need therapy.
22. Can't get the motorcycle down the basement stairs of their parent's home.

 

At least the one I got has a center stand. Neebees can practice Varoom Varoom while in the garage

In the best HD sales routine the center stand is EXTRA.

 

The saddest are those old grey HD riders that realize that they will never live long enough to pay-off their bike or find a buyer.

 

If you can't pay cash then you don't need the toy.

 

Last bike I bought on credit was about '85 or 86. JUST HAD to have an EVO and my '57 Hydra Glide hard tail was long in the tooth and with only a sixty inch panny..........well you know, any excuse.

 

I will admit that when the kids got all growed up and haired over and I didn't have to work seven days a week to feed them, I bought a Harley.
I grew up riding anything I could get my hands on and Harleys were none existent in that area.. However, there was a Triumph that was the first time I exceeded the speed limit on. Way over the limit!
If I need something done with on my bike or information to fix, get parts, I go to a small local bike shop. Old time bike guys there. And they sell Euroles, ( sp??)..

 

I'm a Yamaha hahahahaha guy.
I laf cause I hardly never do nothin on my bike ,specially now dayz .
I growed up on bikes , 5 years old , dad put me on the tank of his Harley and we went ridin all over , no helmets then neither.
Them memories is better'n fishen , almost.
So much of my time is carting a friend around in her car, she can't get on the bike.
I haven't been ridden in 2 years ,probably have to learn all over again.LOL
The Yamaha 650 has practically been flawless other than abuse ,so I have no room to complain on it .
I still wouldn't have a Harley ,kin to owning a VW. forever tinkering on it.
I see kids on more reasonably sized motorcycles all the time around here , even I would not recommend any one starting off with a Harley, beyond the weight you need some mechanical experience to go along with it.
If a bike is dead along the road 9 times out of 10 it's a Harley.
The freeways here I-I5 a lot of traffic back and for the fourth San Diego to LA
I know a few guys that are driving their cars because the bike is in the shop .
Makes me appreciate my Yamaha.

 

Harley Davidson, No dirt bikes or quads or enduros. Expensive toy for yuppies. Plus I don't like all the dumbasses in cars trying to run me over. "The common saying is that they didn't see you" Street bikes, in general, are not good for survival. My opinion. For some reason, I like that VROD by the way. I rode a Honda back and forth to work for two years in rush hour traffic. nice to slowly split lanes when it all came to a stop. Motorcycles are priced crazy also, like everything else.

Underboning the World - 2 Symbas, 1 Couple, No Sense

Synba 100 cc Around the world.

The Symba is made by the company that made Honda Cubs in Taiwan - before production moved to mainland China. They still make the same product, just put their name on the bikes now.

The Honda Cub is the most produced cycle in the world. This is the 'why' that the the couple (in the posted link) bought a set of the bikes for their around the world tour - parts can be had just about everywhere. I had a fun read over a couple of days about their adventures in Africa and other odd spots.....

ADV rider has more than a few articles on long distance trips with folks riding small bikes.


yup, on these....

 

Have one of these sitting out back under a tarp. Not as clean, but same color.

 

A man has to ride safe, always extenuating circumstances.
