I sold my Harley Sheldon, I dont feel safe anymore, Ger

 

Now I know why Gerry doesn`t feel safe.... 100 hp on a 400lb bike is scary when you think about it. Ride safe!
If it does hit 14 I`ll certainly get out riding again.

 

Well a harley wouldnt have that kinda power-weight ratio. I think most of the normal 883 harleys have something like 65ish hp, and they weigh quite abit more.

Your shawdow Morris I bet feels pretty safe. Its got about what, 60ish horse,a nd is maybe 500ish lbs?

I was actually looking at a few shadows both 750, and 1100, but in the end opted for a bike I could easily make into a awesome handling gravel burner.

As much as I love riding anywhere, I really like riding out on the gravel, way out in the middle of no where. No one to bother me, no one to stop me from hitting any kind of trails, bush roads, etc that I run across.

 

Nice bike Prep!! Not sure how you're going to make it 400lbs, stock and dry they're 430 or so... First thing you'll have to do is replace the front fork seals. Sitting on that trailer sucked down like that from ontario to here is going to be hell on seals. Guy should have put a block between the lower fork brace and the tire...

 

Good Morning FTE M/S, hope the sun shines on you today, nice sunny day here.....

where abouts in ONT did the bike come from Prep

 

Good mornin all, rainy day here today.

 

Howdy Grant, no rain here.........nice & clear

 

Its easy to drop weight, getting rid of the stock cans alone drop the bike 25ish lbs. The specs ive found say the bike is 421lbs, and ill be honest, I just lazily rounded it off to 400 haha.

Yeah Im gonna check over everything once it gets here. i was all ready contemplating bringing it into a suspension place to get them to revalve the front forks so I can have more of an enduroish type ride, then the kickass but tight stock ride. We'll see. Next time your up Sherm the offer still stands to take it for a burn!

I got it from Guelph, from an online kijiji add. It was so cheap I thought it was a scam, but so far it hasnt been! Bike should be here late tonight, or tomorrow sometime, unless they run into some trouble.

 

Guelph huh, they must have driven right past my house in North Bay

 

Good morning Manitoba/Saskatchenwan ! Hope everyone has a wonderful Day

 

Could be yes, not sure the route they are taking here.

 

Prep, there is only one way to get to southern ONT & its thru North Bay, unless they went thru the states which I dought

 

Who's bringing it in for you?

 

Ya I have no idea which way they are going!

I went with a small guy from the uship website. He has good reviews and I hope I dont regret it. Was the cheapest I could find at 400 bucks.

 

That's a good rate, $400.00 would get it to Winnipeg. I could have got it to Winnipeg for $250.00 then you could have driven down to pick it up.
