Man, isn't that the truth. My first street bike was a GSXR750, when I was 19. I had 2 Hayabusa GSX1300Rs, and I am trying to fit those in his parameters. Doesn't compute. The **** I did on that 750 should not be attempted on any Harley, especially a Sportster. I got close on my FXDLS, but I know, even the Dyna is too big, right?

This dude is troller gold.

So Mark Winchester is a real person and not a troll? The plot thickens...

I would imagine his online persona conflicts with his supposed oriental medicine endeavors. His ying is not balanced with his yang.

I would imagine he'll move on to some other forum in hopes of finding like minded people.

Good luck with that Winchester.
