Screamin' Eagle Wide Glide 3 One of the HD CVO bikes - a new model in 2002 from what I can see, so this "new" one has been sat on a dealers floor for 6...
That sounds interesting. Is it one of those with a step through frame with a duel seat and 3 speeds? How was the insurance for a 16 yr old? _____ From:...
The Cometic gaskets have been the best I've found. Especially the metal rocker gaskets - so much easier to install than the factory offering. You might be able...
Hi group, I have been away from bikes for a while and would like some help plz! Ok so I have decided on a Harley (hope that's correct?) I am sort of convinced...
Hi nikelarse I can feel your grin from here. The 883R is a great bike that handles well and goes well. If you want more power after you've bought it there's...
Thanks Andy, I was thinking of doing just that, I have even talked the wife into doing her CBT! and maybe her own test... Have you or anyone got experience of...
Nick, if you're considering riding 2-up I'd suggest a 1200 at a minimum, and more likely a big twin. The Sportster is actually quite a small bike, so you might...
hi i had an 883 for 5 years did 40,000 miles on it a lot of 2 up with loads of luggage [ thank god for bungees. we had great times i would recommend a touring...
I've taken my children on the back of my Sportster when it was an 883 comfortably, but adults can be heavier. This reminds me of a conversation I was having...
Remember though that my missus was the reason I got rid of the deep pillow seat and replaced it with the thin sportster sport seat. Then she didn't want to...
Sorry to throw a spanner in the works but I would seriously suggest that you consider one of the BMW boxer twins based on what you are looking for from your...
Heretic! And that comes from a man who is less than a month away from a week of riding a R1200GS around AndalucÃa for a week. My first reaction to riding a...
Hi Nik Welcome to the group and hopefully welcome to being a Sportster rider. Your question on tank size- There was a large tank made by the MoCo in 2001 but...
Sound advice from the Guru as always, mind you Gordan (wherever he is these days) would no doubt have something to say on the subject. Andy PS - Kev, can I...
Andy D thanks for being the first person to request an invite to SOAS8 - mail me llwynogllwyd@... and I will send an invitation direct to you. By the...
Folks, I've been following this interesting thread. One of the (few) advantages of being a BOF is experience. You might be satisfied with ONE car or woman...
Interesting take on things Geoff, but to mention Sportster and light(even ish) in the same sentence is somewhat oxymoronic! Andy On Tue, Aug 5, 2008 at 5:02...
Agreed Andy! But it is when compared to the Glides etc. I have a little smile when I see our chums wrestling with the bigger Harleys when parking etc. Geoff ...
No gears Andy.Just twist and go. Single seat and a step through frame so he will not be tempted to take his mates on the back. The lights are a bit crap.Just a...
C'mon Andy - BMW ? That's a Guzzi with droopy tits innit ? I've ridden one of those awful 1200 GS things (3000 miles in 10 days) and would go Guzzi any day,...
I've seen an aluminium tank somewhere it was either 4 or 41/2 (US I think) gallons. It might have been in the J and P catalogue. Looked pretty good too. Cheers...

Funny you should say, i reckon some dealers should do like " a night class" where people would pay and the dealer/mechanic would take a class and show the very...
There are lots of operations which are quite simple, but people lack confidence and want to know that the job is done properly. The Harley DIY event might be...
