Default Traded in the DS for a Predator!!!

for the last four years it has been in the shop for all winter and a lot of the summers because he is never happy with it.
Easy way to be happy with it is to trade it in for a REAL bike!!!! Less painful/labor and you will save yourself 20 g's!!!

In case you didnt catch it, this is a CUSTOM bike. This bike was built to win at the show and win at the track. It had a drag racing clutch in it but has so much torge that it blew the clutch to pieces. He had to have a complete custom clutch built by one of the guys that build clutches for the 700hp top fuel harleys. With the 93ci S$S bore and stroke kit it put out around 100hp. With the supercharger it adds another 70hp. The NOS it set up for a 50hp shot. So this bike is capable of around 220hp at the rear wheel. Not bad for 2 cyclnders. I am not dissin on your Yamaha. I am glad that you like it and are proud of it. But I was born and raised around 2 things, Harleys and Mopars. I will stay true to that till the day I die. BTW, did you happen to know that the number one vehical stolen in the US is Harleys? They pass right by those rice burners to get there hands on a true american ironhorse. Harley is a lifestyle, not just a vehical. You live it. There is a brotherhood. How many Sturgis ralleys or Daytona Bike weeks do you see that are geared toward Yamaha, NONE that I know of. So,Before you go talkin smack about this bike, take a look at it first.

jiminok,

Where do you guys keep coming from? I thought that after 7 pages everyone would have gotten their 2 cents in by now. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

What are you tryin to do, start up some kind of dating service on this Forum?

First off, me and Jimbostew spent about 5 pages of this forum verbally slapping each other, so I would hardly call us a love connection. While I do admire his ability to toss the Smack around, I can assure you that I have no desire to take any long walks on the beach holding hands with him. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

I can't speak for Jimbostew, but I love Women, so I will have to Pass on your offer for the menage trois. But I am Flatered.

One last question, What exactly is it that I am supposed to pull out of my ear? And how will it help me get on with my life? Any follow up help you can give me with this would be greatly appreciated. My life will be on hold until I hear from you. Thanks

P.S. Your right, you aren't as quick-witted, so you shouldn't try. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

this is a CUSTOM BIKE

Then it is NOT a harley anymore!!!! Big Big difference, your daddy tossed the ho-hum v-twinkie cause he knows it's crap and got a much better built,more powerful s&s motor, most schmoo's give up after buying 20 grand of officially licensed and endorsed chrome,leather tassles,studs
and their pride and joy still just blends in with the rest of the flock.
BTW, did you happen to know that the number one vehical stolen in the US is Harleys?
WOW those are some bragging rights I want!!!
Actually you are wrong little lamb, i think that Crotch rockets are stolen more then the motorized wheelchairs because they attract a younger crowd. Get your facts straight. Also if HD was the most stolen, then insurance would be very expensive,ohh that's right you guys really don't ride anyway, you just park em in front of a bar with the rest of the herd and show each other how cool and tough we can look with chrome and loud,annoying bikes with zero power.

Harley is a lifestyle
Yea your right, one that you march up to the counter and BUY!!!. Instead of going out and living your own, most HD owners are fukin posers,wanna be fair weather bikers, good for you and your dirtbag conventions 'been there hated that',it's just another way HD can show up and take more money from you hoons, i.e. parts,towing,labor,official t-shirts/bbq grills etc.etc and whatever else those schmucks slap that logo on and peddle out to the mindless humps. It is also is a good way to mingle with the rest of the idiots that have way too much money and not enough common sense. Also please stop using hardley's tired and old cliche's,next i'm gonna hear "live to ride" or "If i had to explain" blah blah blah ,get your own life kid, not one pre-packaged that you can purchase at the boutique called a bike shop.

Jimbostew, I Gotta. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I'm just curious, are you meaning to imply that the Crotch Rocket crowd doesn't spend BIG A** money on all that offically licensed Honda/Kawasaki/Yamaha/Suzuki, multi colored all leather riding gear? I see these guys riding down the road that look like they missed turn 5 on the road course and have apparently stopped in at the Mini Mart to buy a SNIKERS candy bar and ask for directions back to the racetrack. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] The best part is watching them try to walk with all that hard skid protection stuff sewn into their Leathers

I may be Guess'n here, but if I were a Gamblin Man, I would bet that all the flashy florencent colored leather Sh*t cost at least a pretty penny or two. So I wouldn't exactly say that the HD boys have a monopoly on takin peoples hard earned money to fit into an image. I see these Pro Racer lookin Posers all the time, and we aint got no stinkin racetrack in this here town.

Not to mention, have you seen or priced a loaded Goldwing. Ouch, Big Bucks. On top of that, at night they look like it is Christmas all year around. The only thing on the road with more lights on them is a Semi, or a Mini Truck with a JC Whitney catalog on the front seat.

S&S Makes a GREAT Motor (I have owned 2 of them), but it is still at it's core based on the HD design.

Jimbostew, Just a suggestion, have you ever concidered investing in HD stock? Just think about it, then you would benefit from the uniformed masses that throw their hard earned money away to live a lifestyle that you find repugnant. You would benefit from all of our stupidity. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Just tryin to help ya out. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

This America, She'z a wonderful place, YES? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Hey, did you check out that guy that has the Hots for us? He's all yours, I told him I wasn't interested. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

RPM, I couldnt agree with you more. Its pretty funny watching those retards ride into a bike show with clothes that actually match the paint job of their bike. At lasts years bike show, there was 2 crotch bikes that showed up, one had a cow print paint job and the others had a leapard print paint job. The best part about it is that their gear matched their paint![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

Jimbostew,
I seem to notice that that in more and more of the fatal and nofatal motorcycle vs car accidents, crotch rockets are more involved. This may be because more and more 18yr old kids with NO experience are buying them and cant handle them and crashing. Kinda gives a bad image to the whole think dont it. Did you just so notice that in the last few years, all of the jap bikes have been trying to copy HD's crusier bikes. They are making V-twin crusiers and trying to make them sound like Harleys. They obviously know where the market is. As far a being able to drop 20g into a harley, yeah you can, and you can also on those Jap craps with chrome and paint and other retarded stuff. Your crotch rockets and jap bikes are a dime a dozen. There is a year waiting list to get a Harley. Thats how bad people want one. You dont have to be a life long biker to own a harley. You have to be a complete f*cking idiot to think that.


I wasnt tring to start anything with you. I was merely wanting to show the Harley guys a picture of my dads bike that we have put years of hard work into and are VERY proud of. For your information, it still has the original HD frame and engine case. The inside of the engine is S&S. BTW,it didnt cost 20g. It cost 5g. It has less than 20g put into it and will blow any V-twin bike out of the water. Even your little Yamaha[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I am sorry if you feel threatend by this or any Harley but you seriously need to chill out[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

Sitting here watchin' the Titan's vs. Steelers game thought I would finally look through this thread. Didn't make it too far before I suddenly found myself sleeping in my Lay-Z-Boy with my laptop as my pillow.

Whoever this guy is that bought the Predator(s). . . good luck with it. . . maybe for your kind of riding it is a better quad. If you ever make it to the dunes out west let me know, I would like to hook up with you and show you why I ride the DS.

I know those goofballs wear those joe rocket bright flashy crap, which i personally don't care for much either,but that's the stuff i would rather be wearing if I high end it at 60mph. Trust me i am fully aware that kids get go fast bikes and wreck, but don't kids also do the same with fast cars? We where all teens once,some in here are still. I don't give 2 $hits who is trying to copy harley, who would want to? They are not known for quality and workmanship and till they hire more engineers instead of copyright lawyers they may eventually catch up with the times and start building REAL QUALITY AMERICAN BIKES then i'll be the first to buy one.People are on a waiting list to buy a HD?Why ohh i forgot it's the 100th anniversary edition ohh ahh!! Let's go check for the website updates from the prior year bike hmm first you get an engine medallion,then a model nameplate,a cloisonne tank emblem and finally striping! WOW people line up for something that has not changed in decades for 80 bucks of add on's I could slap on myself and HD dealers rape you with a 4 grand mark up.Wow that sounds real fun to me.

It has less than 20g put into it and will blow any V-twin bike out of the water. Even your little Yamaha
Sorry bro i have a V4 and you just said pops dumped 20g's into it, the m,s.r.p. is what on top of that is how much? I jewed my bike down to 9 grand otd, so i could turn around and buy 4 of my bikes brand new and still whoop up on daddy's highly modified hee hawg without a single mod and dealer temp plates still on them. Brace technology bigbadscrambler here's a link for what HD is really known for making


Quailty Bikes for quality folks
