I was thinking… buy it… put high speed sprockets on it… safety prep it for Bonneville… get a leather suit… and just see how fast you can get it going on the salt before the turbo grenades the motor… 🥳🥳🥳

For some reason, i felt the need to take the Night Rod out for a short spin today.


Beautiful day. Low humidity and only about 78 degrees.


Not much, but i finished my tank of fuel, which had Seafoam in it, trying to see if cleaning the fuel system out would eliminate the sputtering it experienced. So far, so good, but until i take it out for a full days ride, i just won't know.

Last time I rode a bike without windshield was in 2010. My first bike Ninja 250. After a test ride on Sporster with windshield, I never looked back.

I don't know how you guys do it.

Whippersnapper!

Hah! Bell bottoms! Bicycle chains would tear those pants to pieces ! Mom would say "I'm not buying you any more pants!" Of course I would threaten to go out in my undies then and pants would appear in my room. . Once the bottoms were torn up though, I had plenty of shorts for Summer. . I had a Honda similar to that bike but never ventured out more than a few hours. Looking back I wish I did.
