1st actual road ride for Goldie today. She ran like a champ, after the ride I leaned out the idle circuit a bit. Another test tomorrow and a carb sync and plug change if I like it. She runs extra hard and will eat my CBF1000 easily. After all these decades I still love the ride of these bikes better than anything else. This is just a vew blocks from my house, I put over 100km on today, fresh build but she loved the exercise.. goldie 1st ride.jpg

Your bike looks great in that colour! Would love to meet you this summer out your way

Thanks Trevor: Yes, we'll have to make a point of meeting up. I sure haven't been riding as much as I'd like to lately.

Took the Sportster to work yesterday, and will again today. Probably going to sell the Sporty and buy an older (Evo) Road King later this year so that that 65 mile one way is more enjoyable (and to enjoy some longer road trips to other states).

I've been mulling over the idea of getting a "solid mount" '90s Sportster 1200 for local riding/commuting. My short lived experiment with the '80 Shovelhead Low Rider left me hooked on the whole "potato-potato" thing, but I didn't like having $7000 tied up in what amounted to a fun toy for local riding. A $3k Evo sportster sounds like a better bet.

Mine's a very modified 2016. The fuel injection is definitely nice, and it makes a very good deal of power. Definitely not a garden variety Sporty, I probably have $12,000 in it between purchase and mods; but I'm ready to get a better long haul Harley. I've ridden quite a few 400+ mile days on it. There is something special about them, and I will probably always have one of one sort or another.

This ride was actually a couple weekends ago. First bike camping trip of *24. Sproul State Forest, PA.

Not today, but yesterday! Took a little 110 mile trip up to the Kentucky river lock #3. (Got to ride KY 421 and 22 which are two EXCELLENT roads!)

Went up to Big Ridge State Park....and parked.


Left there and took SR61 East...Lots of switch backs....


Also had a CEL on the new bike, while I was out.

Did a full detail of my new to ST today...man it cleaned up nice and got out for a ride after....loving this bike...and the Two Brothers exhaust sound great!

[Baatfam]

Yes, yes I did....

I rode my new-to-me GSX1250FA for a few hours today, a bit up the island and back. What a great bike! Far more relaxing tourer than that 1000GT I had (briefly) last year.

Some straight roads in farm and orchard area...


And some roads that somewhat follow a river...
