Ride, Captain Ride!-How many bikers?

Post by John Drury »

Bobbe Seymour stopped by yesterday on his vintage BMW K-bike. Very cool motorcycle!

Just curious, how many of you steelers are motorcycle enthusiasts? I recall a few rap sessions about bikes with Pat Seivers, and I remember Jeff telling me he enjoyed riding.

I have been hooked on them for many years, Got the bug in the late 50's, went through a raft of Brit bikes and H-D's, currently riding a 99 Ace 1100 and a recently purchased 04 Concours.

2000, H-D Road Glide. Fully loaded! Shorty pizza box on the back, and Knee fairings. Best handling bike I have ever owned! Have any of you seen the new Road Glide with the new V-rod motor? They have one here at San Jose H-D. Beautiful bike!

As a nod to Law Enforcement types, I also reinstalled my "stock" mufflers....however, I also took a 12" drill bit and started drilling holes in the baffles. Drill a hole, ride, drill another hole, ride, etc, until I achieved the burbly sound I wanted....but I still have the "stock mufflers" on my Heritage Classic!!! Image
