Trevster, or not a Trevster, that is the question.   Bomber Posted on Monday, July 14, 2003 - 03:49 pm:        I have a feeling that the teaser (at least for sportie fans) may be better than the reality . . . dunno bout the V-rod, but the sporty, which has lost so much of the appeal it used to have, I think is fading even further from it's roots . . . ..   Dynarider Posted on Monday, July 14, 2003 - 03:54 pm:        Bomber, I would imagine we will have more details by the end of the day. Remember that Harley is only announcing a few models now. The big suprises are being held for the 100th. My guess is 2 new V-rod models, obviously 1 has been announced already. I am guessing there will be a sport version & a Bagger version. I bet the Bagger gets announced in aug. The sporties will use the new & improved XB motor & be rubber mounted. Again these are just guesses but I cant do any worse than spidey did on the Blast. Besides I nailed the 1200 cc XB's months ago.   Bomber Posted on Monday, July 14, 2003 - 04:20 pm:        Dyna -- yep, yua did, but, like the man sez, even a blind squirrel get a nut every once in a while!   Dynarider Posted on Monday, July 14, 2003 - 04:24 pm:        Lets see if I can make it 2 for 2 That would make me a damn lucky squirrel.   Mikej Posted on Monday, July 14, 2003 - 04:28 pm:        A squirrel with two nuts should be considered normal, not lucky.   Road_thing Posted on Monday, July 14, 2003 - 05:55 pm:        Mikej, that would only apply to boy squirrels...   Mikej Posted on Monday, July 14, 2003 - 06:01 pm:        Check your anatomy class, womens have nut-equivalents, same thing only different.   Grndskpr Posted on Monday, July 14, 2003 - 06:13 pm:        Lets see if I can make it 2 for 2 That would make me a damn lucky squirrel You mean WE, but as annon's have said, what do we know, by the way, can i be there when Blake has to pay up for that dinner to funny Roger(i should have got in on that bet) Oh yea, sportster with a previously tested buell engine should be interesting   Spiderman Posted on Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 01:17 pm:        FI Blast was a joke. Hell I think 99% of us nailed the 1200 XB 2 months after the release of the 9'S   Dynarider Posted on Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 02:14 pm:        Its true what they say then, hindsight is 20/20   Crusty Posted on Tuesday, July 15, 2003 - 09:58 pm:        Hey Dyna, I bet the Sportster's got a different engine than Buell's. I betcha a can of Pepsi.(Real Pepsi; not that blue crap or diet swill.)   Vr1203 Posted on Wednesday, July 16, 2003 - 02:54 am:        Sorry no can.Here you go   Dynarider Posted on Wednesday, July 16, 2003 - 04:14 am:        crusty, sounds like a bet to me. Maybe the winner can throw in a few packets of that special Buell Kool-aid mix?   Rocketman Posted on Wednesday, July 16, 2003 - 04:33 am:        Whose is that can of Pepsi? Rocket   Crusty Posted on Wednesday, July 16, 2003 - 06:24 am:        It ain't mine. I hate freakin' 2 strokes. Dyna, if you win, I promise not to sleaze out on the bet.   Vr1203 Posted on Wednesday, July 16, 2003 - 09:55 am:        The Kevin Schwantz replica Pepsi bike is mine, a really different ride   Grndskpr Posted on Wednesday, July 16, 2003 - 10:37 am:        Ok Vr, since your one of the only people i know(or write at) hoe did you get it street legal???I love 2 strokes, want one bad, but have heard there are issues getting the bike titled in the us, tell me the story, thanks Roger   Grndskpr Posted on Wednesday, July 16, 2003 - 11:00 am:        Hell I think 99% of us nailed the 1200 XB 2 months after the release of the 9'S Actually if you look back, Dyna posted what was put on UKBEG, and one of the famous Anons wrote: Ahhh, yes, as Dyna demonstrates, the spreading of BS is a worldwide phenomenon... You (spiey) followed with a HAHAHAHA so not sure if thats was to agree or disagree??? still looking in the archives, oh and thats shows how good the Anons can be on the forum Roger   Jssport Posted on Wednesday, July 16, 2003 - 11:55 am:        Jim M,... I love that bike,.... tell us more.   Spiderman Posted on Wednesday, July 16, 2003 - 12:16 pm:        WHAT??????? If I am reading that correctly, the grammer structure in that paragraph is wack Anyway. I agree that there was gonna be a 1200 realese, the XB9 was a starting platform. I was laughing at what the anon said cause of a comment that was made by a friend earlier in the year about BS and the world forum of the internet.   Psychobueller Posted on Wednesday, July 16, 2003 - 09:50 pm:        I saw pics of the 2004 Sportster!!!!!   Spiderman Posted on Wednesday, July 16, 2003 - 10:22 pm:        well post away   Vr1203 Posted on Thursday, July 17, 2003 - 01:27 am:        Grndskpr,Jssport.I was looking for a weird ride like a RG500 or RZ500 ,the Pepsi was on E-bay here in the states and nearby ! So I got the bid, and last year drag racing ,on the first pass I broke a piston skirt, it sounded like I had a marble in the expansion chamber! Its rebuilt now and with some cool(loud ; old school GP ) Jolly Motto's Its only a 250 so rev it to the moon and have fun.   Crusty Posted on Thursday, July 17, 2003 - 05:45 am:        Hey Psychobueller, Who's going to win the bet? Me or Dyna? edited by crusty on July 17, 2003   Psychobueller Posted on Thursday, July 17, 2003 - 07:24 am:        Crusty, what was the bet?   Psychobueller Posted on Thursday, July 17, 2003 - 09:22 am:        Oh yeah, the can of Pepsi. The only thing I will say is go to your local dealer and look at the new '04 parts catalog. Lots of bits and pieces of information that you can put together to get a clear picture.   Jssport Posted on Thursday, July 17, 2003 - 02:12 pm:        Jim M,... Drag Racing it ?... oh man... not quite it's intended purpose... take it to a track day somewhere,.. that's where it will shine!
