I do like the America / Speedmaster Bonnevilles style, but I passed one through the twisties today and have to wonder..........can that even get near a HD?

1. Okay,we'll overlook the HD bashing, for now.
2. Did He know he was supposed to be racing you?
3. You were on a racetrack, right?
4. If not you needlessly endangered his life, as well as your own.

No, it was quite safe - I was past him in no time at about 140km/h. :razz:

I'm sorry, I thought you were being serious.

Putting aside the 140km/h and whether it was safe to do it in a turn, my Speedmaster is quite capable of keeping up in the twisties with the larger bore cruisers. I ride with a group of 1300 and 1800 VTXs locally plus a few H-Ds too, and if it's a twisty road they are hard pressed to keep up. While they're grinding pegs in 25mph turns, I'm barely scraping off the chicken strips on my Metzelers. Once we get onto the straightaways though, I'm dust. But then I don't push my bike much past 80-85 mph.
