I left HDforums and only came back because of the Evo section. Last time I was in the touring forum, had a guy close to me that wanted to get together to ride. At the last minute he called and cancelled. He had to take his bike to the dealer to have a back rest installed. That was the day I walked away.

If it wasn't for dumb questions, I'd have no questions at all.

Willing to bet he has no bike, and plays the roll of " Super posing troll " on multiple forums. He probably rides a Ruckus converted to a Bagger lmao!!

Google his screen name and see how many he belongs to.

The Evo section has been very educational. You guys are always ready to help. If nothing else, it points in the right direction. I can't believe how many times I have done a search and found what I was looking for.

I would say very entertaining as well! I have laughed out loud on many occasions. I don't know Trail Dog but, he gets picked on a lot! TD, you keep polising your bike! There is nothing nicer than a shiny bike!

Thank you for your wisdom.

This is my first post. I've been reading as much as I can from previous posts in the evo section. I have browsed the other sections, but I have to agree with factorybuilt and everyone who has commented here - this is the place to learn from those who know. Thanks for all of the wisdom.

I had to google Grom just to see what yall were talking about.
Now I have seen it and I still don't know!!!!

What is that weird bracket hanging off the back really good for?
Is it just me or is the front tire smaller than the back one??
