Sometimes Harley's don't get any respect either. Was riding last year with a few buddies and pulled up behind a guy with some type of S&S custom with a t-shirt that said "Stock Bikes Suck". His bike had straight pipes and did sound pretty mean. He turned around and looked at us and smiled. He took off like a bat outa hell and missed second gear. There was an explosion and we saw him pull over. We just pulled into the 7-11 and got some coffee and laughed.

And for what it's worth...my '98 Vulcan 1500 Classic ( http://www.jamesgang.net/bikes_ejvulcan1500d.asp)
Was your Vulcan 1500 hard to get into second? Mine was but I think it was the positve neutral finder acting up.
I recall some posting on the VROC forums about second being finicky, but I never really noticed it. I'm a big guy with a big foot, which may have been why though. I kick something, it damn well knows it.

Now you wanna talk about a clunky sounding gear box...changing gears on that V2K made a slammin noise that'd wake the dead. But dayum that thing was fast! And those Cobra Speedster Shorts without the baffles were friggin LOUD!

I was always told by the salesman to "stomp the hell out of it that what I do" but after seeing a few with bent shift forks and what you had to go thru to fix it I eased mine from gear to gear. A guy here at work had a V2K until he broke his neck on it. It was his first bike.

No way Bounty, I got a bud that rides a 109, theres nothing out there for this bike. How will you ever be happy with that.
You know the only thing that seperates us from the apes is the ability to accessorise.
That Skull jacket just wont look the same riding a Suzuki.

Sold a Harley for a jap bike ? HMMMMM , maybe he got laid off , or lost his job , hate to hear stuff like that but maybe he had to sell and bought rice on a limited budget , just a thought.
I hateto hear that crap too. BUT, some jap bike are just as much money! A guy that lives next to me was telling me about some Yamaha strato-something that was just under $17K? [sm=badidea.gif] [sm=forgetit.gif][sm=WTFsgign.gif]
