General Comments

The Harley Chronicles
Thursday March 24, 2005 36 Degrees

This was the only nice day this week so I went to pick up the Harley Super Glide today and road it home. I did see a few flakes along the way. How appropriate for a snowboarder with a motorcycle. I have not ridden regular in 32 years and this was a lot heaver bike then I am used to.

A little awkward at first, but the first set of railroad tracks I went over let me know I made a good choice in this motorcycle. It went over those tracks like a luxury car. A Lexus comes to mind because I have been over railroad tracks in a Lexus. I am used to the cold weather but I'm really glad I spent the money for a good leather jacket and helmet. The new Burton Snowboard gloves did an adequate job for the speed I was going.

The motor did not like the neutral position of the throttle. It wanted to be under load or backed off all the way as in deceleration. A quick call to the Harley service department assured me that I would not hear a loud noise and see engine parts in my rear view mirror. No middle of the road for this Harley.

The tree branches along the way were glazed over with ice from the past nights freezing rain which I'm sure made an interesting backdrop for people watching me drive by. Everyone gives a Harley a look when it goes by because you hear it before you see it. But they really give you a look when the calendar says spring but the skies say winter.

My hands were getting cold about three quarters of the way home so I stopped into a gas station along the way for some coffee. I parked right outside the front door and left the bike running with that audible patented heart beat that everyone can recognize. After pouring myself a cup of hot coffee I stepped up to the counter to pay and the cute clerk smiled and said "no charge". Well it looks like there really is a "Legend and Attitude" that comes with a Harley Davidson. More people smiled at me and said "Hi" then they usually do to the "other Ed".

It looks like it is going to be an interesting summer.

Thanks to everyone else at Western Reserve Harley Davidson.


Advise from my friend Rick Reinecker on asking him if I should buy "date leather"

Excellent choice. If your looking for a biker babe, she'll have her own leather. If your looking to convert someone into a biker babe maybe you should think about it. Also unless you have saddle bags on your bike, you'll look pretty ridiculous with two leathers, helmets, chaps, and raingear all strapped to your handle bars and sissy-bar cruising around in search of.

    I went from a ridge mounted motor in my 01' sporty to the 05' dyna's rubber mounted motor and man that was great. I live outside of Phoenix, AZ and I ride everyday to work, 105 miles round trip to be exact. This ride has greatly improved my overall life, mostly cuz it rides so smooth that I hardly notice Im ridin a bike. love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
