Sounds like a good sized BBQ!

 

I couldn't agree more with you on the shadows. There are a couple for sale every now and then on Kijiji or UsedRegina. Can't wait until I get out of school...

I think the first thing I'm doing is buying a shadow. They're amazing bikes...

Ever wonder why you never see one for sale? hahahaha, it's cause they're classy and a VERY VERY well-backed bike as for comfort and the amount of miles you cna put on them before they're even "broken in".

I just can't wait....

 

Is it just me, or has this week gone by like a flash of lightning?

And yes, TGIF, thank god it's friday!

 

Ever since it warmed up time is really flying by now.......and moving towards next winter already!

 

Lol, don't say that Morris!

Pretty soon we'll all be doing this again...

 

I hear you, I hate to be the bearer of bad news as we just now finally getting over another long winter.

 

Good Saturday morning Manitoba/Saskatchewan

 

Good morning folks.
What`s everyone up to on such nice day like this?
How`s your weather Tim, no floods or drought?

 

So where exactly is the 3rd Rock?

 

Hey prep, I had typed quite a book with an answer to your questions, and my computer took a crap and I lost it all, so here's the readers digest version.

My wife and I have one bike each, and they rarely get used both at once, so 95% of the time there's a bike in the garage with a plate on it not getting used. Total waste of a bike, and waste of money. I'm condensing to one bike, a comfortable bike that we can both tour/cruise on, but yet something that fits me as a solo rider, and perhaps something that I can include my girls as they get older.

The Harley Davidson bikes have pretty much everything I want. Loads of character, great aftermarket support, great dealer support, incredible resale value. It was just a matter of finding which one I wanted. I tried out 4 bikes. An '08 Fat Boy, '08 Heritage Soft Tail, '05 Ultra Classic Electra Glide, and lastly a '06 Road Glide. They are all great bikes, with the '08 Heritage being the lowest in my choice, but mainly due to modifications that the PO had done making it a obnoxiously loud. I will be purchasing a Fat Boy, unsure of year, I feel there is better deals to be had than the specific bikes I test drove.

On the truck side of things, I still haven't recieved my Ram, it should show up this week. I'm thinking I may not take it now with the retarded price of fuel. I am going to test drive a Ecoboost F150 on Tuesday and see how it measures up, and if it will satisfy my needs. Lower price, better fuel economy.


Aaron, without causing offense, your $.02 is a very uninformed and ignorant post. I feel that you must not have much experience in the motorcycle world. I agree that the Japanese bikes are great bikes, very reliable, and have a lot of class/style. One thing they cannot compare to is the resale of the Harley-Davidson. Quality of the HD's aren't an issue either. The only time they are un-reliable is when they're modified, and even that has vanished as an issue with fuel injection, rubber mounted twin cam motors and such. The HD's have a wealth of affordable aftermarket support, a good 100% more than the Japanese bikes, and way more affordable.

One thing I will say is that the HD's seem to attract many "questionable" characters, but there are just as many or more reputable folk like myself who have them because of the character in the beast, and many other qualities that come with the brand...

Do some research... they're just as good as(after much education I feel better) Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki, or Yamaha ever have been or will be.

 

Good Morning SK!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

 

Would have been a great weekend if it were about 31 days longer...

Good morning steve!

 

Morning Sherm, I agree, 5 day weekends and two day work weeks...lol

 

Now just add in getting paid for the 5 days of the "weekend" instead of the days we work (2) and we're set. hahaha.

 

At least we have a long weekend coming up this weekend.
It`s really windy, lots of dust flying here today.
