After careful consideration, this Harley is pretty cool

Having my brother's in my corner was one of the highlights. Bandit was part of the crew I met down there. I'm the obnoxious audio bagger of the group, but they've been calling me to ride with them for over a year now, so I guess I'm in.

We have two coming up. One’s about 5 hours away, the other is less than 10 miles from my home. I’m sure we can make that one.

We would enter as Flyweight.

I wonder about battery issues and music selection. I would like to hear some pointers from you.

Thanks

I shot ya a note, if you want to give me a shout

I played three songs, that kind of tells the story

Slow Ride by Fog Hat - If you listen, in the beginning, that guitar starts building and screaming and it sounds amazing through my system. This song was a mistake. That screamin' guitar was one of the only highlights....and as much as that song maybe made me feel good, it lacked substance.
Second song in the first round was Feeling So Good by Nina Simone - This was what they wanted to hear my bike play. Welterweights and lil thumpers like ours only look cute when you try to drop bass. Before we played, the judges told us....we want to hear what your bike can do well.
Third song was Bounce Town. Sounds great on my system, and a lot of fun to listen to, but the guy who beat gave me some good advice. He thought my system sounded good, but the judges like melodic voices, especially from the 'rookie' or 'welterweight' classes.

Bandit and CaffeineBuzz - if oyu guys wanted to hear some sounds, you should have attended the bike nights at Arsenal. I have to tell you; those sounds were out of this world.

My bet is these bikes had systems that cost upwards of $10,000. When you open the tour pack and the saddlebags, they were full of equipment.

God job on entering and winning - sounds like you had tons of fun
