Location: japan | hi, buddies,
I am still waiting for my ea63.
and I also become to wait Alpha AER.
They said it's gonna be a month to carry on to my room.
How can I have to wait for an amp without a guitar?
custom made is too late...
even though I decided to wait until the end of June.
What if I still don't get the guitar on that time? |

Location: Tychy, Poland | i haven't played on alpha, but 60W aer compact will kick ass of EVERY 100W on the market, except another aer.
It's extremely loud for it's power and has really clean sound.

The mix is about one quart to every 50 gallons of gas, just about the exact equivalent to my weed wacker. Harley did away with its total loss oil system back in '36 when the knucklehead came out, but a lot of Harley owners don't believe it. If mine sits for more than a month, it will "burp" up about a half pint of oil through the case vent tube. I now know just to put a pan underneath it on such occasions. |

Just kidding, Brad. You can mock my Honda if you want to. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Cliff nailed it. If a seller is willing and able to pay the licensing fee, Harley will allow its logo to be slapped on anything. The general perception out there among the old guard is "love the bikes, hate the company." The one percenters just hate everything, and the new purchasers (affluent boomers raised on small Hondas) buy the bikes as art. All that said, my '92 Low Rider Custom remains the most dependable motorcycle I've ever owned. |

but since this turned out to be a Harley-Thread:
My FLH was the best bike, I ever had. Too sad to have it let go...

Yep, too bad that Harleys have become more reliable with the introduction of the Evolution engines.
That's why the bikers became that fat in the U.S since the ninetees. :D
Kurt, on topic again, please! |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Well, I'll say this about Harleys to bring us back on topic . . . with so many of their frame tubes exposed, it sure is easier to tie down a guitar case than bikes covered in plastic. |

Where do you tie yours down? Mine fits fine in the pillion but not when my wife is there... :D
I'm working on a rack design to support it on my trailer hitch. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Wabbit, I have a Corbin seat with a backrest, and I installed the high passenger sissy bar with a wide Heritage backrest. The guitar case sits pretty snug on the passenger seat between the two backrests, and leans against the curvature of the Heritage passenger backrest. Then I tie it down with non-slip nylon straps. Of course, when the wife is along, the only way to carry a guitar is if she will hold it, which, to date, has never happened. I was thinking that when I retire, I might install a hitch on the BMW LT and buy a Bushtec trailer. Then I could carry the guitar and a small amp (along with a month's worth of clothing and a full complement of camping gear for two) with no difficulty whatsoever. |
