Funny how some people get so upset by the closing of a company's division they boycott their products yet trying to get people to boycott clothing made in offshore sweat shops is almost impossible

FWIW I just returned a Triumph Rocket III Roadster this morning.

It uses a lot of fuel and the back tyres are very expensive - but Daaaayammmm. Daaaayammmm. Daaaayammmm. What a fantastic ride for a big man.

Egad! : (

I think it looks great. Seriously. Works for me much better with the blacked out bits.

I'd change the back seat, but this one even sounds pretty good out of the box.

I can't imagine that much torque in a motorcycle. Dayum.

If I ever decide to buy a cruiser it will be a victory but that is a big IF at this point in my life.

My brother used to have a Honda Valkyre that he'd power slide around like that. I don't usually like the cyclesaurus bikes but that triumph is looking pretty cool.

Danger_D, Have you spent any quality time on the FZ1? I love the little pocket bikes, but they just don't fit...I hate cruisers.

"Some people like slamming their parts in doors"

Thats why it looks like a Platypus's bill.
I allways did like the Tripple Tail on my ULY.

Not a huge FZ1 fan. Gripe is its happy place is in the licence disqualification zone.

It can be fettled to suit the local conditions I'm reliably informed.

My preference is A Speed Triple or a CB1000R - work fine out of the box.

D_D, Thank you sir. I cannot imagine folding up for an all day affair on the Honda : ) Speed Triple is nearly unsupportable in my local area, but I'll have a look-see.

I kinda like the new '48.

Ditto. I despise the marketing hype that they're attaching to it, but it's not a bad looking machine at all. If I was gonna' get a cruiser, that would be way up on my short list.

D_D, My reading comprehension sucks...guilty. You wrote "CB1000R" and I read 'CBR1000RR.' I'd ride that Honda, but apparently it won't be available in the states.

Quote from TwoBuells "Hey Paul, go and buy that Fatbob just make sure you keep your Buell. and if you buy assless chaps I will not talk to you again."

Mike, you will never catch me in a pair. In fact I will probably be the only rider wearing full gear including full face on an H-D up here in Saratoga, if I decide to buy it.

P.S. I will never get rid of my Firebolt...Maybe some day it will morph into a Diablo.

The new fat boy low looks good to me. I'm pretty angry with the MoCo right now so I won't be buying any stuff from them for a while.

I was looking at a Speed Triple before I got my 1125R. Just something about them that I really really like. The triple? Seating position? Not sure what, but I like it.

Go grab ANY 10 of your Harley-Davidson t-shirts and read me the labels.

If you want to experience something MUCH MORE frustrating . . . try having a small motorcycle company trying to source parts in America only to be told "we don't want any orders less than 10,000 units".

I have a friend who went through something like that.
