Pretty hilarious that I'm replying to a 16-year-old forum. But I am big fan of this game. And I'm trying to make these Usenet archives visible through Google search.

Right now I'm using the Panhead and Sportster. That cowboy is a badass design (Scott). Too bad his bike is slow. :\

I've been playing a 5-stage Harley game on the Supermodel emulator with the difficulty at '+20 seconds'.

+20 seconds = 105 seconds to Beverly Hills mansion.

Every time I play I get that 50K token behind my bike in the Harley shop. There's no point in getting it as it'll take some seconds away. If you wanna get this token, I would suggest using the FXRP.

From the Harley shop to the airport, I have been attempting to get that 100K token on the Baywatch tower. Probably shouldn't be doing this. XD

We all need to bring this game back!

Pretty hilarious that I'm replying to a 16-year-old forum. But I am still a big fan of 'Harley-Davidson & L.A. Riders', and I want to make these Usenet archives visible to everybody.

Right now I'm using the Panhead and Sportster. That cowboy (Scott) is a badass! The Sportster is the best all-around bike to use in the game. FXRP is great for speed.

I've been practicing with a 5-stage Harley game on the Supermodel emulator with the difficulty at '+20 seconds'.

+20 seconds = 105 seconds to Beverly Hills mansion (example).

Every time I play I get that 50K token behind my bike in the Harley shop. There's really no point in getting it as it'll suck some seconds away. If you wanna get this token, I would suggest using the FXRP or Sportster. Panhead maybe if you don't collide at ALL. Getting this token with Dave's Dyna Wide Glide is quite a bitch though as it skids a lot. If you're gonna get this token, check the machine out first.

From the Harley shop to the airport, I have been attempting to get that 100K token on the baywatch tower. Probably shouldn't be doing this. XD

When I played with the Dyna at Dave & Buster's in Concord, NC (it's not there anymore), I was attempting to get the 10+ sec. token in Hollywood... and then my bike started to act crazy by turning around and skidding. :\

We all need to bring this game back!
