That last video has a bike that's not a chopper. It was going to fast for a good screen capture. Anyone think they can ID it?

That's always the question, I'm freezing, do I slow down to get less wind chill or bite the bullet and speed up to get there quicker?

Full throttle.  If you crash you won't even need to ice the wounds, they showed up to the roadrash party pre-chilled.

Same question, same answer, for summer in Phoenix.  Will you die from slow roasting or char-frying?  If you crash, the pavement cauterizes the wounds.

Okay, so I had to go track down the 77 Sportster Cafe Racer. I hung out with a couple of the guys that their dad was one of the execs at the local HD factory in Tomahawk. They were in their teens and early twenties. The one kid took it out. Ran a 5 Mile loop. You could hear it all the way around. Those pipes didn't have much for baffles in 'em. You could hear it the whole way out anf back.

 

When I stand by it nowadays, it looks tiny. 

 

Speaking of tiny, in their clothing shop they only had three xls was the largest size I could find. Not a single tall.
