What Harley? Dresser? I bet he could have kept up with you on a
Sportster. My 72 could run with the Ring Dings.

Greg, I don't think it was the speed but the handling was n the curves. Yes adresser can be nimble but that's a lot of flab to be throwing around especially while braking in a hard curve... my old Yamaha rods were great about dosing the big bikes in the hard twists.


The big Harleys are meant for cruising, not nimble performance or cornering.
