I have "Ultra Classic" tastes, but a "Vulcan Voyager" budget. I haven't ridden motorcycles in 35 plus years, but now retired, have been Jones-ING for a bike again. Rode a lot from age 5 to age 25; dirt and street (touring). Rode up to British Columbia and back during my 16th Summer.
Problem with buying a bike while still in Kali is, I sold my last bike after the second car in a couple of years made a left right in front of me. In Kali, it isn't if someone is going to make that left in front of you, it's when.
On the plus side, I won't be riding nearly every day like I used to.
Thinking that I might be able to allocate enough money for a 5 year old Vulcan Voyager or a 9-10 year old Ultra Classic. Harley's seat height is a couple of inches lower than the Kawasaki and I'm on the short side.

I've had one incident where an idiot decided to make a left turn from the right hand lane in front of / THROUGH me. I was right about even with his rear bumper when he did it, so there was no way I was going to avoid him. It was probably at 35-45 mph, so kind of slow and well, I guess I bounced a bit better way back then, so didn't get really banged up. These days, I try to avoid being in those situations. I just assume that all the people on the road are trying to intentionally kill me and avoid being in a position where they can do it if at all possible.Originally Posted by smokeywolf
I always rode a bike with the thought that all cars and trucks were out to flatten me.
The left turn situation to which I refer, is when an oncoming vehicle in opposing traffic lanes decides at the last minute to make a left turn across your path, usually at an intersection. However, I've had them also decide to make a left across my traffic lane to enter a driveway.

Harleys are very reasonable in Arizona, where I moved from about four years ago.
Down there I bought this highly customized 1997 Road King for $7000 in 2008 and then sold it for $8500 a couple of years later... Never had a single problem with it and it was a joy to ride. Just got surprisingly bad gas mileage; 21mpg with a pretty radical cam profile and carbs.

Awh, I've had that happen even when I'm driving a large pickup. If they can't see *that*, they sure aren't going to see a motorcycle. So far though, no accidents because of that particular brand of driver cluelessness.
Seat needs a backrest LOL and I need about $20k in donations to get one...
It's *only* 1000 hp...
OK... Just for you...
Picky, picky...
OK... Here's a backrest...
LOL not quite street legal...
I see what appears to be a headlight and turn signals, it might very well be street legal and registered in some state.
I just have to wonder where he managed to get that front tire. The wheel part is easy, there's plenty of shops that will make custom wheels, but the *tire*???
Does this one count as a backrest for you?
