They do seem a tad divided.......

Out on a back road somewhere.

Been a bit of mention on another thread of combined bike and rider age totals. A mate down south just let me know of his new bike that takes this to next level, as if his 1917 Excelsior wasn't enough.

God i am but a spring chicken....2012 Street Glide and 64 in a few weeks gives me a total of 77yrs

Lucky bastard!

For all those who never wondered, this is a pic of the underneath of a Victory throttle body showing the adaptor that goes straight onto the down draught intakes on the heads. Very much like standard V8 practice. Twin 45mm bores in the throttle body.  The alloy adaptor is an aftermarket part, stock is a moulded silicone rubber. This is from a mates bike, he's had a bit of trouble with the stock rubber parts tearing, but he has Lloydz torque tubes fitted instead of the normal airbox, long tapered tubes that mount big K&N filters below the steering neck that curve over the engine and down through the throttle body. With appropriate tuning (Maximus or PC6) and dyno work, they bump up torque and power quite a bit. 

"Off overseas for 5 weeks riding in the sunshine"

Me too.... Was in Laos for 4 weeks in April and did a fair bit of riding. Back there again in 15 days :)

Picked this up the other day, brand new ie: unmolested by anyone.

If it's the 1050, they are a sweet little V-twin ( as you would know, based on the TL1000S ).
Good balance of torque and power .
Never ridden the new generation, but it would be very capable .

Yes mate, latest generation 1050.

Don't ask me why I bought that yesterday. 

Beages! Track days or run up the point 😜

Nice. I've got a soft spot for big Kwackas. Be like a rocket-ship compared to the Harley - though I'm probably telling you something you already know :-). How's the riding position?

The riding position is the only complaint I have with the bike.

Too old for track days Hilly.

It's a fair old rush as the revs come up, I still remember 😁

G'day beaglebasher ,

Been 8 weeks since I broke a wrist, fractured an elbow, smacked a knee and head down hard onto concrete, no longer wearing the wrist brace most of the time, time to try a ride.

Well done Steve...sadly i dont believe the speed limit part...lol
