yep, i'm on my 2nd one so I bought a fuzz buster.
Wouldn't it be cheaper to just slow down a bit?

True, but I had to use 6th at least once just to see if it works.

And it would appear it worked quite well!! I try to save it for a nice long straight nearby the house where no cops or people are.

It would also just be cheaper not to own a Harley

I must admit that I enjoy it much more when I ride fast. Then again, in Houston I'm not exactly taking in the scenery. It's more like going into battle than anything. When I get outin the country, I am much more likely to ride slowly and enjoy.

Hey Zombie,

Thanks for remembering the old girl. She's still around and doing well, I gave her to my younger brother, his first Harley, and he and his wife are having a blast on it.

Cheers

I got one last year on the Springer - still don't think I deserved it. Then I got one two weekends ago, leaving Augusta at 5:30 in the morning (74 in a 55 right before the limit increases to 70). I have a judge connection taking care of that one for me, though.

Post #1000 is about riding too fast. Kinda poetic, don't ya think?
