MMkay, I see lots of expensive parts on Keanu's ride, I guess before he started his own MC company. I think in Hawaii his hand gesture means hang loose. I dunno, I'm not cool, but I keep trying. | ||

Hawaii is just the pinky and thumb. What he is displaying is I,L,and Y from ASL. All displayed at once to mean "I Love You".  | ||

This from Wikipedia: The shaka sign, sometimes known as "hang loose", is a gesture of friendly intent often associated with Hawaii, and surf culture.  | ||

I'll keep the riding style commentary to myself... | ||

Looked and sounded like a twin cam stump puller, at 2000cc not exactly the largest v twin out there. Looks sporty but didn't exactly see him crank it up. Maybe with him behind it, it can be successful. | ||

Parade lap. I don't see how that front frame section can be stiff enough to result in a good handling bike though. Form over function. You know...unless its function it to look a certain way. | ||

You think they put proper gears and bearings for those cams? Twinkie is weakest link! I don't know anyone that has put more than 50,000 miles on a twin-cam without having grief in the timing cover. | ||

yabut, HD saves $4 each by using those cam bearings. Why should they care if they cause catastrophic engine failure after the warranty is expired? That's eight bucks per unit sold man! | ||

I guess you're right. The two "data points" I have of the twincam failures both bought a new twinky after the engine failure. I guess it's good business afterall. | ||

HD saves $4 each by using those cam bearings. It's not about the savings on the bearings. They save a huge amount on labor, not having to set up the Timken bearing which requires a test assembly to measure how much spacer is needed to get it set up correctly. Instead they use a simple roller bearing that is plug and play, but can't handle any side loading. | ||

Its an S&S engine, does that make a difference? |
