Noisy Turtles Harley's that is

[eli]

just got done listening to 3 days of noisy turtles going by the house the harley ride
i am still amazed how loud and slow they are i get that some actually put the right parts in the bike to make them fast
which is real cool but the majority throw drag pipes only to go slower and make a ton of noise i would be embarrassed if my ride rattled windows but could not get out of its own way
much less beat a prius in a drag race lol

[Robby321]

Must have had a event up there,. so it aint a daily thing. Been on HD's all my life and I LIKE IT! There just like us, simple gearheads that love the heart beat sound of a HD. Or any motor (boat). Don't go getting old on us!

I love mine too. Gives me something to do if the ocean is rough ;)

[rock]

Been ridin for a long time but it seems to be getting more dangerous lately. Old bike had the drag pipes and couldn't get out of it's own way. Current bike has had about everything done to it and still be tame enough to ride on the street. Running Reinhardts and love the sound. Only bike I would own other than a Harley would be a Valkrye and some day I will.

Rock

[TraceF3]

Ya them old Valks are getting hard to find in decent shape

[Instigator]

Yep

They do nothing for me either.
Normally I only notice them when they're raising hell where I'm (and those around me) are enjoying the solitude.

Used to ride my 1000cc Hurricane to the biker bar by the house in Fla when one day a guy on another Honda asked why I didn't have a Harley like everyone else there.
Told him when I want a loud, slow, non handling, unreliable bike I'll buy one.

To each his own.

Lived there nine yrs and every six months someone died on a scooter on that stretch of US 1.
Was always a Harley rider w/no helmet.
Every time.

[Riverratt]

I love mine. More than enough power

Far from slugs, as witness any NHRA Pro Stock bike race. Of course none are not stock even the Susys (S+S does sell there race motors), but many V-Rod based Hines, S+S, Buell, Victory, and the few Susys. Or go Nitro HD and quit messing around!
Rather listen to this than jap sewing machine motor...

I like guys that stop at a light beside your car w/open windows and you have to close them to keep from going deaf.
The worst is then seeing that guy get off his bike and remove his ear plugs!

On the Pro Stock bikes, Harley wrote a huge check to the NHRA to get 2500ccs displacement while the Jap inline 4's get 1500ccs.
A 67% advantage.

I would have rather seen a vee twin class w/weight breaks based on heads/valves like the "Battle of the Twins" in AMA road racing.
I like the twins but to try and say they're equal to, better than an inline 4 is lunacy.

[gary slagle]

gotta like the sound of a v motor ,also the sound of a twin or inline 4 with a 270degree crank.
my v4 VFR turned 20 this summer ,wouldnt trade it for anything. recently been lusting for a Triumph Thruxton 1200r to add to the collection...my v twin is in my can am utv ,it thumps!

[Robby321]

Lets not go down that path "us VS them" If its 2 wheel's "all brothers in the wind" to me.

On NHRA? 2 different motors, short stroke and long stroke. Its piston speed limits. BOTH create same HP, as super close in a 1/4 drags.

Been riding 63 years, and don't think any I aint owned or rode over the decades. Old Henderson 4 cylinders, Indian Chiefs, left hand throttle, Foot clutch HDs, Vespa's, Cushman, the beginning Jap bikes, the Brit bikes, Italian, name it. Raced Motos, Ice, Flat track, Road course, and many CC month long CC rides. Few pix..

Who said ya can only have one anyway? CBR1000F, Shovel, Bagger, Drag bike..

Leave ya with this. And the story. Was in the auto parts store, and saw this for $100. Had to get it! So home, and hear a Harley pull up in front. My buddy Tommy. He walks in the shop, come look what I bought! I go look, and said gotta see what I just bought! HA! We were gonna take him and me in tow at the Christmas Toy Run but too long a ride my old back a tow!

Last Pic me and Tommy. Me and him always had a ball riding! He was Power Company Lineman, tough job, but he never complained anything. Funny as they come, not a enemy in the world. I would change his oil, look the bike over and put 100 miles on test ride! He didn't care! One time left a good burn out the shop, and showed him when he came to pick it up! Its still there, but fading. Tommy 6 weeks before hitting 62 and retire, hit got hit with Pancreatic Cancer, died week before his BDay. RIP "Tommy Two shoes"....miss ya buddy...

Off in the distance when you hear a vtwin climbing the ladder, can always tell HD from the rest. If you hear a big ci motor like SS even heavier. The 150 needs a trailer and bags.

lol,it's kinda like the fat chick thing,fun but you dont want to get caught riding it.
actually ,small bikes are taking over in this area,stopped in at a few motorcycle shops recently & was told that most sales are small displacement .there is a "cult" of the Groms & other little 2 wheelers these days.the gy6 powerplant has a large following & many upgrades available.not a bad thing as young ,new riders can learn the ropes on these smaller bikes instead of a GSXR 1000 as their first motorcycle & we all know what the outcome of that is....:eek:

See yah one, raise you one.

While in Fla I bought a non runner for $50.
50 cc two Stroke.

Pulled the carb to ck the reeds and found s chunk of injector hose sticking a reed open.
Pulled that out and it started first pull!

We were Port Saint Lucie at the time and me and the Mrs road that thing to the local pubs.
Funniest part was flipping off tail gaters on my ass while I'm doing 45 in a 25 zone.
Found why after buffing the faded speedo bezel and realizing it was in KMH!
I was only doing 25 when flipping them.

Had HUGE fun on that thing.

[gary slagle]

loads of china 50 cc scooters on craigslist, problem is they wont go fast enough .the 150 gy6 claims 12 hp:rolleyes: .i've seen 56 on gps running stock except for the $9. replacement ecu which has no rev limiter,still i wont ride on main roads as i don't want to get run over.I"ll just ride the vfr for that.
last summer i built a taotao 150 for my brother inlaw he got for free to use as a pit bike when he races ARHMA.needed a battery, carb, stator ,coil,& some tlc to get it going,about $100 spent for all parts thru amazon.it gets used hard & seems to hold up ok.

I am watching and going to buy a classic bike when I get a head of some bills.

I like the muscle bikes of the early-mid '80's.
Honda CB 1100f, Suzi GS 1100e, Yammi Fj 1100's.

Could buy any of them for $2500 up to a few yrs ago.
Theyre now double that and climbing.

Needs to be stock, for value/appreciation and my preference.

While in Fla I had a 90' 1000 Hurricane and a 95' GPZ 1100. Both had pipes, and neither were jetted for them and were pigs accordingly.
My old RZ 350 would have destroyed both.
But they were loud, for you that like that ��

They give s lot lot of ink to two strokes which no one else does.
They also give recommendations of up and coming collector bikes.

They cover a lot of small bikes too.

Great magazine!
Their tech stories are killer. One guy has built a H-2 750 two Stroke based four and five cylinder and just finished a 6 cylinder Honda as a tribute to their '60's era 250cc Grand Prix bike.
The guy welded two cases together and made his own crank.

They were based off of the 82 GS1100E-I spent a decent amount of money with George Bryce "Star racing". Then in 84' the 1150ES took over and out came the one piece bodies and 10" tires. These were great times but today you can go get a new ZX14, stretch it 8", air shifter, launch control and run a 9.50 index on a street-able pump gas bike- "so much easier" and way less money.

They were first released in late 82' as an 83'. That platform is one of Hondas longest running models. The most recent generation interceptor VFR 800s with the V tec are a very refined piece. The fuel economy is incredible and the top end for an 800cc bike is very impressive. This is still one of my wifes all time favorites and she sold her 2008 back in 2012.

Joe

Yes, and the castings had big room for improvement with porting and larger seats being installed. Suzuki was the king from 82' with the 1100es, then the 1150es, then they came out with the hayabusa. It wasn't until 2006 that Kawasaki got back on top of the displacement war with the release of the ZX14.

Have 2 friends that still have them! The Magnas did have a front camshaft oiling problem, but my friends have no probs.

[JPEROG]

The 65 magna was physically a big bike, the tail lift caused from the shaft drive combined with the hard dunlop qualifiers of the day proved to be a deadly combination for a lot of buyers. I always liked the sabre better then the magna. I worked for a bike shop that had all of the jap franchises from 84' to 87' (high school years) and my job was to prep and test ride pre-delivery, needless to say, I loved my job and got to ride a lot of jet skis, bikes and sleds.

One of the most impressive bikes of that era was the FZR700-I had a brand new 86' and it would beat up on most of the bigger bikes due to its weight.

Robbie,

I reunited with an old friend today for a about a hundred mile wind therapy session. I know you have a passion for bikes like I do, so I thought you might be interested. This one is a modified 95' that I built about 10 years ago and I also have a totally stock 85". These are great old bikes-(I am embarrassed to say that I don't think this one has seen daylight for the past year so it needed a run).

The old VMax! Damn beast when the (forgot what called..V boost?). Friend at work had one, and later another friend at work had the Venture! Later in life, a guy went to HS with, lived west Virginia. Had a Max, VFR 800, and a Busa! Loved those those fast sweepers there!

Yep, they have the V-boost that opens up the second set of carbs at around 5500. This particular bike has a 1320 kit and a stage 7 carburetor kit which eliminates the v-boost and air box. They are replaced with full time quad linkage, jet kit, and K&N filters. It builds a lot of torque and has run a best of 9.81 at 145 but its still a total street cruiser and not considered really fast in todays world. 34 years ago they were bad ass...

I made it into the S&S sub 10 club, but if you held into it in 6th gear eventually you would need both lanes. The bike didn't handle well at above 150 with all of the down force created from the fairing.

Good looking BEAST! Know what ya mean in the frame mount fairing. Had a fork mount Batwing on mine. But after so many damn road miles, started getting detents in fork bearings. Too much wandering. Over winter, took the whole front end off. DAMN and CAN I SAY PITA! Funny (kinda) too as it was up on blocks, jacks. Well we get a damn good earthquake one afternoon, and afraid to open the shop door! It was still standing, but fast put a fold out 8 foot ladder over it, strapped up if any after shocks! Its always something!

Back a kid HS, after the minis, Vespas, Cushmans, bought a new 65 Super 90, money made working the gas station. Well soon a friend mine found (we were only 15) a 47 Knuckle original, covered in dust a widow was selling for $150. He had a 650 57 Trump basket case that I bought for $100. Put it together my dads basement Too it too the dragstrip, and took first place in class (had to run modified as no chain guard!). 15.9 at 99 mph! Two pix. First done then second later. Sold it when went Service and Nam. $300.

You and I are a lot alike with our fascination of bikes. Some of my best memories are on the ice (614 rotax in a knight frame and my KX 500 with a gpz rear uni-link swap) are the ice toys in the picture. You can see a picture of my garage a few years back when my sickness was at its peak (I think I had 23 bikes in the stable-too many to keep batteries in). My wife has a VFR just like your buddies. I spend most of my time on the bmw now and use the ducati as my errand mule. Another great jap sport touring bike is the Kawi Concours and you can pick them up on the cheap.

There is nothing more precise then German engineering. The new K1600B is my favorite bike of the moment. One of those 1200s would be cool if I lived in another part of country but for me the only elevation changes are an hour away and all of our roads seem to be shot with a laser. That thing would be some serious fun on the dirt roads around Sturgis or taking a trip through Colorado.

Front wheel was bigger then the rear.Handled like a lead sled but never saw myself going the other way down the street.

At a classic bike shop an hr and a half from my house. They always have some nice classics including Harleys.

I am liking the old Suzi 2 strokes more and more.

Like the RD's but dont think I want one after having my RZ and theres too many H2's to be excited to own one.

[Instigator]

More classics.
Going to get myself in trouble.

The last bike in your list "75' super sport" is one that I spent a lot of time on the back of as a kid. My dad had one of those brand new in the burgundy color. My mom had the 400 super sport (400 cc inline 4 cyl).-both were cool bikes that came from Japan with 4 into one exhaust stock. It all starts by "just looking"-every time, no exceptions. I hope you enjoy your new bike.

Thx Joe.
Also found a 350f. Never seen one of them.
I think orig owner.

Im a huge fan of the little bikes.
Now that the wife is going back to work, and we'll have two incomes again (yay), I might start the collection.

If I lived closer to town, Id buy this.

I rode Harley bikes for years, I always said riding a Harley was like driving a Ram Cummins Diesel as opposed to a Challenger Hellcat. Both are great in their own way. P.S. My passion was for Harley’s and Yamaha 350 RD’s. LOL...... I no longer ride I have a bad ankle plus every time I rode somebody in a car would try and kill me. I do still have 1 Harley in the garage just to look at.

was a good weekend of turtles running around no accidents great weather

Picked up a new toy this weekend. This thing is classified as a sport/touring bike but it has way more sport then most. Its a KTM superduke 1290GT and it makes 173 hp. I highly recommend adding one to your stable if you are thrilled by acceleration, great handling, and killer brakes. It is NOT a beginners bike or for someone that doesn't possess self restraint.

I put a few hundred miles on it so far and it is a 10 to me.

Ya got yerself one Damn fine scoot there. KTM's are great bikes! Now wipe that smile off your face! Congrats! Nothing wrong with the Duck either!

[Instigator]

Love their attention to detail.

173 HP........yikes!

Self restraint or fear of dying ��

Congrats.

They show them running 10:20s on some videos. Its amazing just how fast it revs for a 1310cc twin. Running any thing above 3000, you better have a plan.

Joe

[Instigator]

10.20’s......, wow.

It is amazing to me what you can do w/a V-twin if you give up on the Harley thing!

I was reading about Eric Buells team this yr.

Holly hell.
Way cool.
