Moke, did you upgrade the shocks on your Scout, and if so, what did you go with?

No, but I'm getting the feeling someone else did.

 

[NauticalGent]

Not yet (if you meant me). I am leaning towards Fox, but I have heard good things about Progressive 444's and others. ANYTHING is better than the OEM stock, but if I am shelling out 1k, I want to make sure I am getting the best.

To all you US bikers. The Isle of Man TT. (26th May to 7th June)
Practice sessions started on the 26th May and the racing proper at the Isle of Man TT started yesterday.
Unfortunately Pete Hickman came off during qualifying on the Kerrowmoar section of the circuit and was airlifted to hospital. Where he is recovering. Best average lap time yesterday 134mph over the 37.73 mile mountain course.

Maybe if you change your VPN to London you can tune into the ITV4 channel and see coverage? Two slots today, 11:30-12:30 & 21:00-22:00, followed by 01:35-02:30 tomorrow am...repeated. (times all GMT) I think you may be able to get earlier sessions on play-back once you've created a free account. (any name any email will do for that)

And you wanted a Harley

And you wanted a Harley

SHE wanted a Harley, I was the one who showed her a better way..

 

[moke123]

And who showed you?

 

[NauticalGent]

And who showed you?

Believe it or not, it was my aunt back in the late '70's - she showed me a picture of one her boyfriend had in the '50's. When she showed it to me, I said "Wow! Nice Harley!"

She corrected me and gave me the quick story. What I remembered the most about her story was that you could not get them anymore.

...but... If I am being honest, I did not know they had come back until you made the headdress your avatar. Someone asked you about it and when you answered, it was then that I got caught up on current events - that they had been resurrected by Polaris in 2011.

When the wife announced in 2022 that her car was paid off and "by God, I am getting a HD!", I told her before do that, lets go talk to the Indian folks. The rest is history...

Didn't you guys just get bikes?
