y mus change gear fast? you're not riding a sportsbike where u need quick acceleration.

The shiok part about riding a harley is to slowly roll the throttle. It is a V-twin so enjoy the torque. Normally carb evo only revs to 6000rpm so they dont like if you rev it like you ride sportbike. Get to know the bike well and most importantly enjoy the thumps between you leg. PM me if you want to know more about your new found joy. Cheers =)

yes true that. its called a cruiser for nothing. yes it has superb power from the stoplights but again if you push hard, u might not get the 'full benefits' of riding a cruiser..

Hi bro liquidnoise,congrate for your new ride.So envy u can have your ride back after some many years. For me, still havent got green light from my wife, but will convince her one day. Always believe "Once a rider always a rider", how i wish i can own my HD before the day comes (21.12.2012). My last ride is a Honda Shadow 600 and that was 10 years back.....
