Are you happy with your Rat glide??? I'm thinking seriously about one... Had a guy offer to buy mine today.

 

[HIPPO]

Strictly from the point of view of riding it I'm very happy with it and I feel it is the best bike Harley makes. Sure as hell it's not the best looking one, but I'm pretty much over that.

Found one for Manny, in the same color, and I get the feeling he is in love with the thing, but his is a carbie.

I like the ElectraGlide's too, it depends what your priorities are. One could say that the E's are touring bikes and the RG's sport touring bikes, or something like that.

In a perfect world I would have a Glide for the long trips, a Ultra for cold weather and a King for barhopping, not to mention the ZZR1200, the VFR800, the Duck, well you get the idea.

I know what ya mean about the looks,but basic black looks good on anything. I see they are hard to find now. How do you like the ful inj.???

 

[HIPPO]

Works fine, no problem, I think the Delphi is much better then the old Marelli.


Just prefer carbs, for philosophical reasons more then technical ones.

I like to keep things in my personal life real simple, and if gravity were to fail we might have bigger problems then the bike.

 

[BOOMER]

Ralph, the main reason I'd switch is handling performance in the twisties.
Otherwise I'd stay with what I've got. It's a pain to get the CB intercom stuff added on apparently, my local dealer acted like it took an act of God or sumpthin.

 

[Ralph]

Boomer...I'm sure Creep will be happy about the CB!!!!!!!

 

[Ralph]

Well I had a guy offer to buy mine,so I gave him a price. We'll see where it goes from here. And finding one at a good price is a challange also. RG and he is real Boomer) said they have 2 over in Fort Smith.

 

[BOOMER]

Let me know what you find, I want one set up like an Ultra, big tour pack, lowers, CB-intercom, cruise etc.

 

[Ralph]

Well that dude backed out on buying mine! Figures! And all the bugging he has done wanting mine. So It looks like I may keep the o'l FLHT for awhile longer. Darn! Guess I'll look at an 03.

 

[BOOMER]

Ain't that how it always goes.

 

[Ralph]

Now the guy said he wants to wait till after Sturgis to buy the bike. Seems he still wants it but is in the prosess of moving right now. Geeesh! Must be his female side showing through! LOL. Boomer,maybe we can both buy one together and get a deal?

 

[HIPPO]

That's why I almost always trade my bikes in. Couple of bucks isn't worth it to deal with people that can't $hit or get off the pot, not to speak of always having a bike. They get the old one when you get the new one.

 

[Ralph]

The dealers around here want 3500. over msp and wont give ya s--t for your trade. It's worth the moon when ya want it,but worth nothing when ya trade. Crooks!
