@Jett129 , That doesn't surprise me. There was no skin in the game. Around these parts, AMF was seen a little differently. Though, the quality was lacking, they kept the doors open for a lot of workers.
AMF bought Harley, the year I was born. As a kid, in the 70s, I have memories of my uncle, an OTR trucker, who had a collection of Harley's in his garage. Seven of them, at last count. One of them was a '72 Electra Glide, which he was quite fond of.

@scooter On another note,I’ve been to the HD factory in York,PA,3 times and every time I went I would learn something new. It’s been voted one of the 10 best places to see things being made. Whenever I go I feel like a kid in Santa’s workshop. Obviously I highly recommend it,you ever find yourself in that part of the country.

Probably selling her soon. Been fun but between work and life - haven’t had any time to tinker or ride. Last 4x I went out I had 4 very close calls with the city folk.
Told my girl we may be hanging up the helmets until we move to a more rural spot. We spot-hop but not big into cruising so I may take the time to start building one during the in between stage.

@iammortalcombat About a year and a half ago,when I sold my bike I was having the exact same feelings. I even live out in the suburbs,and it's just gotten significantly more congested out on the roads,and people have so much more stuff going on in their cars than they ever used to. I miss it most this time of year.

@Jett129 yea. It’s pretty terrible with people just being so oblivious. Phones and media consoles In cars made it bad. The effects of “Covid mentality” (stupidity and self centered thinking due to Covid isolation) has seemed to have snowballed here.
I know for sure I’ll miss it, but if my future plans pan out - I’ll have one for the roads and one for the dirt so I can sacrifice.

Love the simplicity of the T100

@iammortalcombat I rode a fat bob a few years ago - loved that bike!

A post on the Hen's Teeth Instagram was about this event:

Not exactly a motorcycle but hopefully close enough??
IHGB-01 brown, 5 years, very lightly used, mostly for around town errands. Very comfy gloves.

@Nik said in Motorcycles:
I want those gloves for winter commuting by bicycle
@nik they’d work nicely on a bike. Super soft, pliable. They have an inner liner (mesh) but they won’t be warm winter gloves.

Getting ready for a trip to Cusco/Machu Pichu later this month.
Just checked brakes…all OK
Dropping her off for a good wash while I wait around.
That ugly yellow stain on the paralever arm was caused by gas from the leaky tank (it washed off some glue from an electrical tape wrap) and I still can’t get rid of it. At least the leak is long gone.
