For Northy! HARLEY'S!
 
As me and Northy have been discussing these in the 'Pirates of the Caribbean 2' thread,thought I'd start a thread on it's own! Not gonna Hi-Jack someone elses completly!! :lol:

Anyway,as we were saying.....................

Well,I know what you mean with the Sportster,it's quite basic so there is alot of room for tinkering!

When I've taken my Dad's one out,I can't help feeling there is more to be had from the Engine.It revs ok,but the power is so low in the rev range,that there is little point in revving it high.

This doesn't suit my riding style much,as I tend to REV things.

But I like it in a wierd sort of way.

The V-Rod is another story altogether........................ :twisted:

Isn't it a sportster engine in the buell?

Speedy 30-07-06 07:27 PM

Probably...........Haven't got a clue,I only know what I know about the Harley's because of my Dad being into them! :roll:
