Sounds great to me!
Wish I had 40 large. What Maroons they are at Harley. LA Title: Re: EBR 1190rs first ride Post by: akmnstr on May 27, 2011, 09:31:45 AM I look forward to see this bike racing world superbike. I hope that is part of Eric's plan. Yes, and they were damn fools at Harley, but it could have been the best outcome for Eric.

Two of the top bikes in the world, in the Harley stable... LOL... no wonder they gave them up, they couldn't have handled having great bikes.

LOL... no wonder they gave them up, they couldn't have handled having great bikes that outshine their parent company brand of outdated machinery . modified to reflect that which was otherwise implied!!!

As for Harley's being outdated......the same can be said for the air cooled monsters and to pay $40k for a super bike that a $20k bike can outstrip is just the same (1000RR) :P Seriously though every turn here seems to be bashing lately. I don't give a shit what you ride, if you're on two wheels you're my brother and respect you for that. My "outdated" piece of shit HOG does everything I need it do with with luxury, comfort and range....purpose built for exactly what I needed. rant off Title: Re: EBR 1190rs first ride Post by: DucDodgers on May 28, 2011, 06:35:45 AM I don't give a shit what you ride, if you're on two wheels you're my brother and respect you for that.
