Default TC vs. evo

When riding with TC riders, do ya ever get irritated with them when they just don't understand that our 'ol girls need to warm up awhile before ridin'?

If they are that easily irritated then they aren't worth riding with.

Tell them it wouldnt hurt them to let their twinkies warm up for a minute or two before they go floggin' them as well. If you are in a hurry on a bike ride your doing it wrong.

I've always set off on my Evo as soon as it is running, in other words within a couple of minutes, I don't subscribe to this warming up for ages thang!

Lol..... I like this forum better than the touring forum. You guys actually ride, and beat your bikes...... If you read the touring forums, you'd be surprised if most of them guys could make it out of the driveway without a complete tear down! Don't get me wrong, I like pretty, and that's why I have a Street Glide...... But I have the EVO for a beater...... I'm not gonna use $100 oil or any of that **** the TC guys do!

I'm somewhere in the middle. I warm her up for about 3 minutes. That's about how long I can wait around LOL

If the motor is stone cold you should ride slowly at first, warm up time is the same for TC's and Evo's .....like about how long it takes to put your jacket, gloves and helmet on (or Do-Rag if you like the Village People)....it isn't a TC rider thing, its these modern bikers who buy a Harley as an image thing and know stuff-all about motorcycles.

If H-D still made Evo's there would be guys like this buying new ones and riding like dicks....its the price you pay for H-D's popularity but hey! They are the guys that keep H-D making money and building bikes....no amount of broke-*** Evo (and carbed TC) riders are gonna keep the MOCO afloat.

You'll be riding while their bikes are in the shop being fixed.
