snowmobiles are flippin crazy fast.. but they are a blast. Ever see them race them on lakes? They go so fast that they hydroplane across the water and they can steer with the skis on the front.... until you stop and it sinks to the bottom...

Yea, you steer just like you are in the deep powder... Not enough lakes here to ever try that, and Im not sinkin that much money in the bottom of a half frozen pond just to look cool


Well, I'd try it if it wasnt my sled, and it wasnt that deep of a lake.

Every year they hold races at this place around here - its on a man-made lake (its not too deep, so it freezes quick). I love going to watch them race - it's insane!!!!

LordVngr,
That is one cool looking sporster. I always wondered how a roadster would look with a bobtail -- looks great! Of all the Harleys, I think the sporster is the best looking. Too bad it's a girls bike [sm=smiley36.gif] --- Just kidding. I know guys that ride Sportsters love to hear that.

Have y'all ever noticed that Lord Vngr is one that has never complained about the vibrations on the KLX?

I wonder why that is?

Oh ya we Love to hear that dont you know. Actually that little sporty will blow the doors off any big twin unless its been built to the hilt. Maybe not on top end but off the line and in the twistees, No problemo. See the suspension on the bike. Its fully adjustable and came from a 1200S model. My bike is pretty much just one step below a sport bike. Honestly, you will almost never see a girl on a sporty. Why, because there hard to ride, there top heavy dont you know. Nope the Real Girls bikes are the Twinkies and slop tails.

As to my answer about a Girls bike. Yep all the girls want to ride. hahahahaha

The Klx Vibrates ? I never knew.

Actually my 05 sporty is whats called rubber mounted. Harley went to rubber mounts in 04. Sitting at a light the motor vibrates just enough to let you know your on a harley But twist the wick and she smooths right out. Nothing like the solid mount sportsters dont you know...

I also have a 2003 100th Anniversary Sportster in very rare Luxury Blue Pearl with laced wheels. I say that because that year they only painted 5% of all bikes in the pearl blue, pearl red, and pearl white. The other 95% are either black, gunmetal blue, or two-tone silver/black. One quick way to tell is the former have a cleared over 100th anniv. sticker on the tank, the latter got a big gaudy medallion on the tanks with a stripe on each side.

Sounds nice dude. Id like to see a pic. If your not a member of this forum you should be. Best sporty forum on the net.

Also where you at in Iowa. I was born in and spent my early days in a little town on the mississippi called Clinton Iowa. Man I miss those days. Nothing like a small town in the 60's to grow up in.
