Mine leaks.

I shouldn't say that... It oozes... not even... the fucking front rocker panel wets the outside of the jug... fuck, I have no idea how to describe it... It's never wet, but the matte silver finish is blackened slightly from oil residue...

First day I rode it...

I'm not going to update that thread... The day the bike is finished, is the day I start my blog. It will be that day in which the fury is unleashed...

No... fuck that frame puck... That's literally going to be the last thing I do...

I've been so busy with work that I haven't had time and/or energy to work on it... I finally got the last parts off of it and will be sending them to powdercoat tomorrow... I should be able to finish it off the week after next... Cutting it real fucking close to the Cali trip (may 16th), but I gotta do what I gotta do...

While I am waiting for the parts to come in from powder coat I can reassemble the subframe (that I might have to repaint :cursin: cause while the damage didn't show through the primer, it shows through the paint )... I can get the front end back together too...

I guesstimate I've got about 15 hours and 30 beers left to go... if everything goes smoothly...

In effect the harley if it could rev to 14000 rpms it would do about 110mph in first gear.
Ummm...just no. It's not the gearing that makes my bike go fast in all gears and yours go slow in all gears. It's about my bike having a modern, well made, cutting edge engine (in 2003) which makes 160 hp with 990 cc's, and your bike with it's antiquated engine making something way under 100 hp with almost double my displacement.
I'll give you 7 gears and I'll just take 2...and I'll still destroy you. Getting hypothetical with "if harleys could rev past..." is just silly.

Now see your changing the race, you told phenix that he couldn't shake you on his 650, which I'm calling bullshit on for his bike and for my bike and just about any other sportbike on here. YOU brought up keeping up with sportbikes, I didn't.
I'll let you put nitrous on a vrod and I'll still rape you any ol day of the week. Power to weight my friend.

And if you wanna race cruisers, I'll take a Triumph Rocket III.

Phoenix is in PA and that offer is still open. me meeting you realistically is probably not gonna happen. you brought up metric cruisers knowing that your bike is a modern bike and comparison between the both is apples to oranges thats why i offered a real comparison between my cruiser and your choice of metric crusier of equal displacement.

This is the statement im refering to.
