WHA???




are you high?

[stinkbutt]

No

Are you a woman?

If the answer is no, than my statement still stands.

[microlovebeat]

No

ok wait a min.............THIS coming from someone who ACTUALLY rides motorcycles?????


you're telling me you think a sportster is more suited for a vagina than a vespa?

dude you've gotta be kidding me...

[stinkbutt]

No I'm saying that the sportster is the mangina bike, for people who are afraid of a real Harley. If that is the case though get a Triumph or a Norton not a fuckin Sportster (that should just be called a toolmobile).

good sir, your ignorance is great but your testicular dexterity is obviously lacking if you're purely letting a bike determine yours, as well as others', manliness.

Whatever you gotta tell yourself. I'd rather ride a Leggero than a sportster.

I had one of these when i lived in Indonesia:

Ah yes, the South East Asian love of motorbikes. Being on the back of one of these flying through traffic in Ho CHi Minh City was one of the most fun/damn scariest experience of my life.

Actually, the drunk Lao girl driving me around town on one of those was probably even more scary.

Where did you live/What did you do while living in Indonesia? I didn't make it there on my trip to Asia a few months ago, but will be my next trip no doubt.

no one has ever seen? so post a pic. I personally think it's retarded to spend that much money on a v-rod and then chop it up. If you're that into drag then build your own. Unless it's not chopped, in which case we've all seen it.

[Hannahrain]

Maybe it's made of solid gold, or has kittens printed on it, or has Anna Kournikova duct taped to the back. I haven't seen any of those.

[canexplain]

i had a 440 kawasaki, ok so a baby bike but it could fly, that i drove to work for about 3 years ... that in itself is no big deal, but i live in colorado ... i only missed about 4 days of work that entire time because of the weather ... there were times i was at a stop sign and people would pull up next to me and give me the thumbs up for driving in the snow and ice .. i would just say hey to them, little did they know i was white knuckles and peeing in my pants (not really) because i was so spaced out hoping just to make it home .... but there is nothing like riding on a bike .. here in colorado you dont have to wear a helmet .. while that is up for debate if you should or shouldnt, i love the wind in my hair ... x****

My husband's posted this pic before --- here we are somewhere on Camino Cielo (or maybe Refugio Road) in Santa Barbara sometime Thanksgiving weekend. Yesterday we took a ride along Ortega Hwy east of Capistrano. Beautiful. And very hot.

The bike belongs to his brother, though. We have two kids in college and so we're back to being poor. He made me promise he could buy a bike as soon as we stop paying tuition. I'm all over that. I like speed.

cute lol . i am not sure who said it , some famous racing driver, he said it was more exciting to go around a curve at twice what they said it was as opposed to just pure speed .. while i subscribe to that, i just had to break the 150 mph at one time and i did it a couple of times in my mr2 ... it was pretty cool ... x****

[Heresy]

I just ride bitch (passenger) lol. My room mate had a Yamaha R6 but someone went down on it in Vegas and it's in pieces now. But she's getting a new bike within the next 2 weeks or so.

It's more so the mechanical aspect that no one has really seen before. You can buy parts and then make the bike, most of it is all custom though. Basically everything is built from scratch except the v-rod motor, but that has had so much work it doesn't even resemble a v-rod from a mechanical standpoint. I'll post pics when I can find them.

motorcycles are dangerous kids

... but oh so much more affordable.

Where did you live/What did you do while living in Indonesia? I didn't make it there on my trip to Asia a few months ago, but will be my next trip no doubt.

All over... Bandung, Jakarta, Makassar, Aceh, and Chiang Mai for a bit. I went to school and my parents were fundamentalist Christian missionaries (true story).

South/South-East Asia is amazing. I want to go back. I want my scooter again.

Road rash *shudder* I know about 4 people who've gone down and just imagine what road rash feels like......I'm imagining a rug burn is nothing.
