Default Harley V Ninja. Ride Report

I was bored this morning, so i tossed my stuff on. My dad is not around often at all, working up north for the vast majority of the year. He asked where i was going... " I don't know, just something to do".

So he tossed some jeans on, and we went out for a ride.

He rides a full dress 105th anniversary screaming eagle 110 cubic inch madhouse of a machine. I've ridden it, and it's a screamin machine.

We only went about 60 miles back in the florida swamp. He topped out at 110, then i took him over in the top end. Acceleration was about a tie.. With both WOT i can gain on him, but his gears are longer.. it ends up pretty even.

We had a good ride out in the swamp, met a couple other bikes in the middle of nowhere. I just kind of wander what they thought of a full dress Harley and a street fighter in stagger formation.

Got hit in the sunglasses by what is apparently an exploding insect.. still have the bug guts on my helm.

But that is my ride report.

I love coming across other bikers that most wouldn't put with each other. Hell, I had a 1% MC ride with me for a few miles.
Its not what you ride. Its that you ride.
Glad you had a fun ride. Hoping to take my bike up through some farming communities on a hill for awesome scenery. The end of my season is approaching.

The screamin eagles are just the tip of that iceberg. They are great stock speed machines and anything out of the CVO is guaranteed to be badass but there are some riders that really push those twin cams; I'd give almost anything for a road glide.
