Well, didn't mean to offend but the engine is a 96" and with as heavy as this thing is, umm yeah, its a pig. Or should I have said hog, wait that must be where it comes from, not Harley Owners Group!

So no, I guess I shouldn't have stayed with the sport bike and I should be riding what ever I want.
I'm thinking the 96inch pig part might have bothered a few.

You kind of come across like a pinhead.

In case you were wondering.

I have a mate who does it on his Superglide....

Mostly with his GF on the back... I think the extra weight on the back helps him get the lift when he drops the clutch.

Smile The question

I read through the posts and no was really "jumping down your throat" [go to the Political Section and you'll know what "jumping down the throat" means esp. if you're a (D) LOL!]. If you spend a lot of time here and get used to this site, you will find most here are "straight shooters" and will give an uncensored opinion when asked! It may not be the way you want to hear it and maybe not with the right ettiquette or niceties extended, but you will get an honest answer to your question. Harley riders are a gruff group; some may be wearing LL Bean and look straight out of Hollywood with color-coordinated riding apparell and some might be leather-clad, dirty, drunk, smell like gas, oil or sweat, talk loud and, even at times, be FOS, or a mixture between the two, but they are more than likely to interrupt the ride and pull over to see if you're OK if you're stopped on the side of the road! At least if they're real bikers...

The videos you guys put up are just insane! I can't immagine doing stuff like that on a bike as heavy as these! I guess they pretty well answer my question!
