June not much, rained every day . In may we rode to new Orleans on the sportys ,2400 miles in 5 days . Rode the Natchez trace down and about half way back . Jake

Every rider has a different idea . For years it was 2500 , then Harley went 5000 . So right now I do 3000 on both the sporty and my superglide . For oil I use Mobil v twin in both . The sporty gets the old long Dyna filter and the superglide a S&S filter . Its overkill , but in over 350000...

I think a s&w 60 is a great carry gun , had one for over 40 years . But for the last 12 or so its been my 32 Seecamp . Most new ccw holders get talk into too big of a pistol and tire of carrying it . Just remember thin and small Jake

Who makes that filter for ford ? I have used them on two trucks for years . 500000 on a e250 and 78000 on my f150 ,makes me want to go back to wix I gave up Kendall oil for the same reason Jake

A sportster hands down . You can get any type seat , handelbars , controls . plus if you don't like it , they sell easy ! I ride a o2 , plus my superglide . A five hundred mile day is a good day . You can run 75 mph all on a four lane . I look at a sportster as a day bike , by that I mean if you...

I don't unless its fifty and we have had rain to wash the salt away . If I get a chance I like to put 50 miles or so , and top off the gas . Cold weather riding is hard on Harley as oil never really gets warmed up. Jake

50 if its any distance at all. But maybe down in the forty's ,if its10 or 15 miles . My Dyna will start down to freezing , but the sporty won't fire much below 45 Jake

Berrysman B12 for long time ! I put a can in at the oil changes , use it in the Harley , ford truck and every thing else with a gas engine . It will keep the carbon out of the top end Jake
