wildoates Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Rode HD in the states, when I got here got a Dragstar 1100 classic, while it was a nice bike, never any problems, it was not a HD. I am preparing to move back to the states, have just brought my old bike back from my friend 2001 Wide Glide,for the wife, and am picking up a new Heritage for me. It is all about riding, but if I were to stay here I would have to get a HD.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnoldjr Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Harley's are awesome!!!! All of the expenses with none of the performance. It takes some real skill to build a bike with an 1500+ cc motor that's as fast as a Honda wave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagling Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 If you want inexpensive parts next day, and qualified service in all Provinces in Thailand, there is presently only one choice of cruiser in TH, Kawasaki 900 Vulcan That`s what I am driving for the moment;-) Vulcan 900 Custom -2010. Nice bike. the chromed straight pipes on matt black bike looks great If you want hazzlefree riding, keep it. All others there is always some waiting for parts Yeah, it`s the Cobra Swept exhaust I imported from US. I also put on the Cobra Fi2000 fuel tuner and the Baron big Air kit. When I return to Thailand (in a month) i will put on the new tires, Pirelli Night Dragon 200/15 on the rear, and 90/21 on the front. Also put on my new Overdrive rear pulley.

moo9 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Although I have my midlife crisis more than I like to have it, I am out of the Harley game. Uncomfortable, bad on bad roads, gasohol addicted...thousand reasons against a Harley. I owned 3 or 4 before, but I just don't need a show bike.

hearditallbefore Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 <br />I don't get it (didn't in America either) Harleys are 2 or 3 times the price here. Thailand has only 1 real dealer. And yes Parts take time and are expensive. Yet for some reason they still sell.<br /><br /><br /><br />and sadly, you may never. And, just because you can't afford, or don't like what another biker is riding, doesn't mean it's not more beautiful or a better bike than what you are riding. IT'S ALL ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT AND WHAT YOU LIKE, THAT'S ALL. NOT DIFFICULT, IS IT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever thought about changing the shocks and the seat on whatever bike you have if it's uncomfortable? Or you just want to run down Harley's? Jeeeeeez, people.

All bikes can be made comfortable. I had a Yamaha Dragstar XVS1100A, with standard big bike seat, running boards and comfortable ergonomics. Pleasure to ride, plush suspension, soaked up the bumps easily and never bottomed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me see Midlife crisis, So you werent really into bikes but just bought one to make you feel good. Harley uncomfortable, thats a very big claim concidering all the models and upgrades. So we can say you have a probablem not HD Gashol addicted, Better not to put gashol in your HD as they dont like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cheap arse red switch they show in the video I don't like. The OEM looking handle bar control switch, I do like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
