Mmmmmmmmmmm I love the questions that ask, Which model or style do you think I should buy or which color or which options should I buy????? Like make up your own mind, cause if ya can't, then send me your money and I will buy your stuff for ya and only charge a 10% commission. Great now they are gonna start a thread asking should they trust me to buy their stuff. I don't want to buy your stuff for you. There are so many models of Harley and so many options that everyone that answers will give a different opinion as to what they like. Cams , fuelers pistons, mufflers???? Your local mechanic will give you the best advice , he or she has installed enough of them don't ask the parts guys or the sales reps ask the people that work on them. Ya and bring him a coffee or a pop so when he takes a break to consume it you have his attention and gratitude. Ask the EXPERTS!!!!. Oh and by the way CERTS is a breath mint not SERTS !!

Born2Glide, I had that coming to me, and I agree with your comment. I will say that late last year My Mother broke her hip, the wife and I moved in with her till she pasted away in May 08, then My Brother pasted 3 weeks later and I spent a month in Texas with family so in the last last year I havent been around the Home computer much, but your are right with the point I was trying to make about people posting more if you feel you can help someone.

thanks

It's a stress reliever for me as well as good information, and sometimes outright hilarious to read some of the replies.

Well I just got a question answered!
I've always pondered the many threads about being a RUB or a "real biker" and the egotism and mudslinging that goes on in those threads. I know I'm not a RUB nor a "real biker", and I've decided my status is now "bike dude".

My thoughts exactly. I do the same thing. Not everyone has the answer or it's already answered.
