We all end up with great stories of our times on the road and sometime great pictures too. <BR/><BR/>As for taking pictures while you ride, it's probably not the best idea even though we've all tried it. <BR/><BR/>Be Safe / Enjoy the RideAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8663744941144434388.post-87316396387482945402008-06-24T12:30:00.000-07:002008-06-24T12:30:00.000-07:00Ronman: I really like maps so try to add them wher...Ronman: I really like maps so try to add them where I can. Maps are cool..<BR/><BR/>Joker: Thanks for appreciating my Vulcan. I'm pretty sure they are selling like hotcakes. Like you, I find myself looking for one more gear after I hit around 60mph. Then I just give it some gas. She'll travel comfortably at around 75 but I haven't gone any faster. I don't like speed, and the limits here are 60mph. I wouldn't want to go 80 or above. Seems faster when you're on a bike!<BR/><BR/>BikerchickzBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05359539597315766635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8663744941144434388.post-90013776430275217072008-06-23T22:02:00.000-07:002008-06-23T22:02:00.000-07:00It looks glorious.

My HOG Chapter does some nice rides through awesome countryside. I see so many people, places and things that I'd love to photograph, but just have to ride on by.<BR/><BR/>I get a kick out of your bike. Not only does it look great w/those new saddlebags, but it almost looks bigger than that Heritage, yet it has a smaller motor than my Sporty! I'm not much for statistics, but I bet if I checked I'd find out the Vulcan was a best-seller. I may have been assimilated into the Collective, but I still appreciate the efforts of the metric builders to make great looking, affordable cruisers.<BR/><BR/>Tell me please as I'm curious...what's her sweet spot? I'm assuming she's a five-speed, so with a 900cc engine, what do you cruise at on a long highway trip without feeling she's straining herself? My bike (a 1200) cruises comfortably at 75 to 80, but I find myself looking for the 6th speed I don't have.<BR/><BR/>When I ride out to Milwaukee for H-Ds 105th bash at the end of August, it ought to be a nice Iron Butt challenge. I know I'm going to be wishing I was on a big twin, but I have to keep telling myself that 20 years ago, my 1200 would have been considered a big twin.<BR/><BR/>Sorry to be so long! Ride safe and I hope you get some warmer weather soon!"Joker"https://www.blogger.com/profile/00123102968850707085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8663744941144434388.post-76151678572503406402008-06-22T17:54:00.000-07:002008-06-22T17:54:00.000-07:00Sounds as if y'all had an incredible ride pretty M...Sounds as if y'all had an incredible ride pretty Miss Becky. I know what you mean about not taking pictures while riding with other folks. I do the same thing. Funny how that is. I dig the map of the route too. Good stuff!<BR/><BR/>RonmanRonmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15779795538071011603noreply@blogger.com
