The brake failure kept my Commando in the garage. But I was still able to get in a nice ride this morning with my brother Richard thanks to Stephan - who loaned me his Kawasaki.

2:43.35
2:39.33
2:34.27
2:33.84 today.first time running slicks with a set of warmers I won earlier this year in a lucky draw. I doubt I'll get much faster than this soon but it's been an experience. last track day for the year, we'll see how the next goes..
I wish they brought F1 back here...

@Giles you and me both, I would love a Metisse, especially a Triumph engined one.
-
@truby I love Fat Boys,but having said that,of all the special/limited edition models,I like this one the least,and I love chrome. Is this to replace the bike you crashed? I’ve ridden them over the years,and depending on the kind of riding you do,more or less than 100 miles a day,this may or may not be the best bike for you.

@Jett129 hey man thanks I appreciate yalls opinions and will weigh them for sure. this would be my one and only bike and it would be mainly used for like half hour to an hour long rides just for fun around the back roads in the country surrounding my house. When I road trip I’ll probably take the sports car like 99.999% of the time.
I also like fat boys and chrome

@truby Something else to consider,and that is ,wether or not ,how the bike sounds is important to you. It always was to me. Out of the box they don’t have that classic HD potato/potato sound,and you would need to at the very least put slip ons on the bike. Which raises the question do you want to do this to a limited edition bike. I paid the “Harley Tax” on all my bikes. The Vance and Hines 2-1 ProPipe was my go to. Where do you do your riding/call home? Last but not least you should definitely ride one before you buy it. They probably won’t let you test ride that one,but you should take a Fat Boys out,unless of course you’ve ridden them.

@truby I think it’s overpriced and dislike chrome unless it’s an oldie. If I had that kinda money for a bike it’d be a panhead, but I’m sure that’s an unpopular opinion.
It would def catch eyes tho, but would be a bitch to clean. I hear the M8 is nice now that they worked out the bugs tho, and softails are the new hardtail soooo.
Bike preferences are totally subjective, if you love it that’s the most important thing.

@WhiskeySandwich I do f)&$()& love it.
I think because of inflation the price is shocking, but that’s just the way it Is right now. Everything is pricey because they screweing with the money supply. This is a 20k bike…. I know. But 20k =28k these days it seems.

@truby you ain’t lyin’!
Well it sounds like you got your mind set! I hope it works out then :). And I’d def pay the Harley tax and get that thing rippin

@WhiskeySandwich The Panheads from the late 40s with the Springer front ends are my all time favorite Harleys. See not that unpopular.
