I noticed the other day that there were five different "bagger" magazines and two "custom" Harley magazine out of about nine magazine total at the fancy demi-suburban grocery store.

Do these magazine stay in business? Can you make money writing for them?

I still want a Road King

My beemer is a tractor too.

I wouldn't mind a Harley - solely because no women have asked for a ride on my giant nerd GS bike.

I know a fair bit about BMW subculture. Oakleys and Hooters, no. Athletic wear and NPR, yes. And none of their exhausts will ever wake you up at night.

I reved my engine under a bridge the other day. The vRRRRRrrrr it made barely echoed off the walls. A little disappointing, but I like the vacuum+tractor sound.

This thread makes me want a HD. I'm sick of spaceship looking bikes (had a R1100gs i traded for my dad's Versys.) I'm going to try and trade straight across for a 883. I'm 6'1", which one do I want? There's always a lot for sale. Mainly customs, how hard is it to put mid-controls on them? Can I still go around a curvy road once in awhile? I hate the way the Versys handles (little wheels front and back.) I liked the way my CX500C and GS handled (bigger wheel in front.)

Right. I had my eye on a Sportster, then went to the metric dealer and found a '07 C50 I really liked so I traded my Versys for it + $100 for a new set of tires (dealer cost I assume.) It's only 800ccs, but it makes the brrrppppppppp sound so I'm happy.

Cool. Looks like its either National or Memphis Shades.
I need to do a fork spring replacement, and would like to install a drop in kit like this one: http://www.progressivesuspension.com/dropin/index.html
Are there any tips and tricks to this, or is it really that easy?

Remember to tighten back up the Memphis Shades quick releases so you don't lose them. I was so excited to take off the windshield a few weeks ago I forgot and lost two of them.
