itchybro Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Or... A paintshaker. However you'd like to refer to it. All I know is, it's loud's hell (I'm working on fixing that) and will keep a new 1098 with Ohlins in sight @ Deal's gap while running HORRIBLY shagged/armor all'd Dunlop sportmax tires. (there's a much longer story there I may compose in a ride tale) Once I get new hoops on who know what fun awaits. Dig it: (JUST back from Birmingham to Knoxville run and boy is my butt monkey'd!) Photo-JWMS P.S. Nobody freak, I still have an S and plan on having one for quite awhile. The tractor is for commuting and playing in the hills. I re-iterate. It's LOUD! Link to comment
russell_bynum Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Looks like fun. For all the bitching and moaning about "Harley Vibration", I thought Steve's Uly was smooth as silk once you got the thing above idle. It is funny watching the turn signals bounce up and down at idle, though. Link to comment
itchybro Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 Well, once down to the choice between something monsterously Italian and the paint shaker, I decided that hydraulic valves and the belt were quite enticing. I'll provide the tale of how I got er' home tomorrow perhaps. Must have nap before work. Oh, I did find this to be pretty amusing. Not sure I agree with their rankings but I do agree with the 'fun" deal. Link to comment
Huzband Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 You think the bike is loud? Look at the grin on your face. Now, that's loud. Nice tractor, too. Link to comment
Lone_RT_rider Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I think your tractor is sexy Quoting country music with Itchy will NOT get you in his good graces...lol. Shawn P.S. Nice bike Phil... Now I will have to work to keep up. Link to comment
TowJam Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Congrats! People can say what they want about Erik's bikes but there's no question that they are a total blast to ride. And as you may already know by now, be prepared for total strangers coming up to you and asking about your Lightning. Link to comment
Deans BMW Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I also have a red tractor, its name is "Big Red the Man Toy", a ton of fun to ride as well. Link to comment
Peter W Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Looks like a minibike to me. But a darn fun one! Link to comment
JohnBoy Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 "Does this bike make my head look big?"... Yep!!.. Congrats, Phil. A buddy of mine has a Lightning and when we pull up together with me on the Duc.......let's just say it turns some heads! Enjoy!! Link to comment

pbbeck Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Nice Triumph Rocket III. I had one is metallic silver. Link to comment
steveknapp Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 It is funny watching the turn signals bounce up and down at idle, though. As opposed to thing shaking side to side on the RT? Itchy, sweet bike. If I lived by you I'd have a cityX or something just for that purpose. What exhaust is on it? I'd think finding a stock pipe should be pretty straightforward. Also did they remap the ECU for the new pipe? Link to comment
