• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Too "cool" Harley rider

Had a little chuckle while ago. Was out on the RT on an errand and pulled up beside a Sportster. He was going straight and I was turning left and we both were stuck at the light. I noticed he didn't want to acknowledge me, you know how some of those riders are, but he kept glancing at the bike out of the corner of his eye. Just before the light turned I looked over and hollered at him that his left turn signal was on. He looked at me, never said a word and rode off. I noticed that he turned his signal off. I thought, you know it's really hard to be cool when you pull a rookie mistake like a turn signal....<GRIN>

At least our TS cancellers work most of time!!
 
He probably wish he have his foot off the ground.:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

Top Ten Reasons Why Harley Riders Don't Wave Back

10. Afraid it will invalidate warranty.
9. Leather and studs make it too heavy to raise arm.
8. Refuse to wave to anyone whose bike is already paid for.
7. Afraid to let go of handlebars because they might vibrate off.
6. Rushing wind would blow scabs off the new tattoos.
5. Angry because they just took out second mortgage to pay luxury tax on new Harley.
4. Just discovered the fine print in owner's manual and realized H-D is partially owned by Honda.
3. Can't tell if other riders are waving or just reaching to cover their ears like everyone else.
2. Remembers the last time a Harley rider waved back, he impaled his hand on spiked helmet.
1. They're too tired from spending hours polishing all that chrome to lift their arms.
 
i love when i go out and where i go there are tons of harleys, so if i get a spot right in the middle of them i park there, and my bike gets all the looks. but i will say i have always wanted a harley, but i am not comfortable on them

That's exactly what I WILL do when our F3's come in. Honestly, I've never really liked Harley's as I always liked something a little unique. About 3 years ago we moved to Texas and that prior year we decided to sell all of my toys. Airplane(very sad day, but pocket book was happy) and my bike. After moving here I had the itch and actually made the decision to buy an Indian Special Edition Bomber Series in green. It was my aviation blood running through me. Fortunately(now), I didn't get one because no dealer had one and their wasn't a used one for sale. From there I really started looking hard at the Suzuki M109R but ultimately never bought. Now - I'm super stoked to get the F3's for me and my wife. Great looking, unique, safety features(including 3 wheels) and my wife and I can ride them together. No way would she ever buy herself a bike.

Last time I checked, a RT limited cost more than a Harley E-Glide Ultra.
 
I kinda like to be a bit unique as well, and the Spyder offers that. Seems the H/D crowd all wanna "look the look". That is a big turn-off to me, but to each his own I guess. I don't believe I have EVER seen a H/D rider without black on, or at least two layers of H/D garb on. I wear gear that is non specific because I wanna be protected. Never understood the need to wear all the garb...and then NOT wear a helmet. I suppose it's an image thing. Again....whatever. he was clearly TOO COOL for ya.
 
So I guess you are the to "cool" spyder rider starting a thread about leaving the turn signal on? [emoji57]

Those who do not wish to engage in camaraderie are welcome to keep to themselves. No problem. They go their way, and I go mine.

If he was really "cool" he would have acknowledged you AND thanked you!

The first thing I learned when I bought my very first Harley was regardless of make & model Biker Brotherhood.
Like our public schools, guess they don't teach anything anymore :(

I was very disappointed with the first chopped Harley I saw. It had a bates headlight and a Maltese cross tail lamp and side cut pipes. Once started it sounded like a Honda 50 with a rusty pipe!!
Sad
