Harley Davidson
I used to ride Japanese super sports bikes, but gave up 12 years ago, when my first son was born . The main reason being : I did not want to risk my life having now babies . The other being that I would certainly end up loosing my driving licence for a long time on a 160HP , 190 KG motor bike . Impossible to drive these at reasonable speeds.
Last summer , I just entered an HD dealer.... by curiosity and ended trying a few of them . It was actually a big surprise to discover that I had pleasure riding this kind of bike . It actually suited a new way of enjoying motor bikes. Crusing, driving on torque and customizing the bike .
Within this new way of riding, ( relaxed, slow, ) I felt confortable getting a bike again . A month later I bought an HD Softail Slim as this is a minimalist bike, with a '' crusing'' spirit . The feet rests are so big that I can not take fast corners anyway , forcing me to have a soft driving style .
I am enjoying the bike much more then what I would have thought and did now a few cosmetical changes and a Stage 1 ( exhaust, intake + mapping ) . I plan a few other cosmetical changes and a Stage 2 ( camshaft + another new mapping )
The exhaust I have has a witch that allows me to be in quiet mode ( were it makes even less noise then the original exhaust . Very good for when I drive through my neighborhood ) and a loud mode, with flaps completely open .... which makes a pretty loud noise with loads of gurgles
