You are going to love this motorcycle. I put in a lot of hours perfecting her. She looks so real your going to wish it was real. The tires and rims are truly 3D. Your going to want to get down on your knees and shine the rims between the spokes but fortunately for you, they never get muddy, even in rainy weather. No matter which color you choose to ride, Black, Yellow, Copper or Blue you'll find they all shine like new. You'll also find that the bike controls extreamly well, thanks to my many hours of testing and re-testing. While testing and perfecting I took a trip in FS from Seattle, Wa. to Sturgis SD. Needless to say, it took more than a few days of real-time travel but it was worth it. Not only did I end up with a well handling, beautiful Sportster, I got to see a lot of Flight Sim scenery from close up. I even drove to the top of Devil's Peak and crashed on the way down.
On my original Fulldress Harley I missed the fact that it would spark on a runway. I have fixed this problem. I will be glad to tell you how to fix it or I will email you a new CFG file that will elliminate it. An ungrade to the 88 Harley will be released soon, giving it laced wheels and correct dimensions.
The Harley Sportster was introduced to make it easier for everyone to own a Harley. The standard model costs around $9,000.00 and comes in black. For additional cost Harley will change the color and other features.

Driving Hints:
1. Driving too fast on rough roads can lead to a crash from overstressing the forks.
2. Hitting trees, sign posts, buildings and other solid objects will cause a crash.
3. Steering is done with the rudder. Aircraft turns and banking are too wide and slow for a motorcycle.
The bike will lean on sharp turns and right itself. The bike can not fall over unless the road is on such a
sharp angle that the bike can't remain upright. This will cause a crash.
4. Taking a turn at high speed can cause the bike to skid sideways.
5. As in real life it takes longer to stop doing 100 mph than it does at 55 mph.
6. Bridges are not crossable. Drive to either side. All bikes by Robbins Motors can cross water.
7. It is recommended that "hitting other aircraft causes crash" be set at "No" if you are cruising with others
on the internet or LAN.
8. Turning and braking at the same time will cause the bike to slide sideways.
9. At times you may find yourself driving under or over the texture. The bike rides on the mesh and
occasionally the texture does not lay properly on it. Areas like this can be dangerous if your driving
fast. Slow down when in an areas with extream texture errors.
10. SAVING FLIGHTS: When saving a flight of this motorcycle special methods must be used.
a. Bring the bike to a full stop, throttle at minimum. When the bike has stopped SAVE the flight.
b. Do not put the game on PAUSE or shut the engine down before saving.
Following these simple rules will save you from dealing with a speeding bike that you have little
or no control over when you restart this saved flight. If your bike is shutdown, FS2004 automatically
restarts it and puts it into full throttle. Eventually, if you miss disaster, FS2004 realizes that your bike
is supposed to be shutdown and shuts it down. This is a FS2004 bug, not the cycles. If you follow
the steps above, the bike will be sitting there idling when you reload.
Maybe you have to be a bike rider to appreciate this Sportster, maybe you don't. All I know is that I love riding motorcycles and I enjoy taking this one for a spin in FS4.
If you start a club I would like to know. Please email me the details.
It is recommended that you do not try and change the BMP files in the Texture folders unless you are familier with Alpha channels. Modifying these BMP textures may ruin the 3D textures of the wheels.
