I think basically what he was saying was you'll never really know if this is the bike for you until you own one. No amount of Internet and brochure reading will answer every question. It's trial and error really, you may buy it and realize a bagger would have been a better choice who knows.

Bottom line the low rider is a great bike, maybe the perfect bike for you, maybe not. Telling another member you should knock him the **** out isn't really helping.

I am merely questioning why so many posts for someone who is not an owner of a MoCo product.

I have owned two and have also owned some fine Superbikes in the past. I feel my question was valid.
So now I am a lady? Did you come up with that all by yourself? Wow! What a brilliant retort. That is one notch below drawing a mustache on a someone's picture.

For someone who claims to be an IT consultant, you let your emotions get away from you. Is an IT consultant a fancy way of saying your work at a Best Buy in the computer department?

"I am merely questioning why so many posts for someone who is not an owner of a MoCo product."

This is your business? Are you a special forum proctor? WTF is it to you how many posts someone has?

Noticed you dodged answering any real questions.

1. What is your basis for declaring me a dreamer? Please explain to all on this forum your basis for this opinion.

35 years of riding and nine previous motorcycles. And I am a dreamer because I am going to get my next bike (which will be number 10) in the spring of 2015?

2. Why don’t you come IL and go to the local HD dealer with me and watch me buy one?

3.
Please point out where I said anything against the UK?

Stop making a dick out of yourself.

I know the LR is for me. Things would be different if I were just getting into riding. I started when I was 13 and have been riding for 35 years. Owned 9 previous brand new bikes. I am not new to this. I will buy a LR and will enjoy it. I will never get a bagger as I do not tour.

As for wanting to knock NealE out, I would simply ask who started all of this? Me or NealE? This has been a peaceful long-running thread until NealE decided to start some crap.

I appreciate all the fine forum members who have answered questions and shared information with me. No one was ever attacked in this thread until NealE decided to bring the Jerry Springer Show to town.

Rode mine today too. I hope to p/u a open barrel terminal crimp tool tomorrow or the next, so that I can complete my rear turn signal relocation and saddle bag install. Pics to follow...

Ikelove - In response to your post #612, I was not calling you a lady, instead I was using a quote from a great work of literature. "The lady doth protest too much, methinks" is a quotation from the play Hamlet written in 1602 by Shakespeare. It is used as a figure of speech, in various phrasings, to indicate that a person's overly frequent or vehement attempts to convince others of something have ironically helped to convince others that the opposite is true, by making the person look insincere and defensive.

In rhetorical terms, the phrase can be thought of as indicating an unintentional apophasis - where the speaker who "protests too much" in favour of some assertion puts into others' minds the idea that the assertion is false, something that they may not have considered before.

Enough said. I shall not respond any further to you in response to anything I originally wrote, as I believe my original assertion was clarified succinctly by Shodown220 in post 611.

Now like 2>4 and UrbanRunner did yesterday I shall get my LR out of the garage and go for a ride.

Looking good - had similar mirrors fitted on my Iron and keep thinking about them on the LR. I'm assuming they are day time running lights too? Not MoCo though - make?
