I don't have an issue with V-twins or even Harleys. I got a chance to ride Graham's suzuki M50 last time I visited, and it was a nice comfortable bike, I'd like one in my garage. Some times I just feel like cruising and taking in the scenery. I just have a problem with the prickless doh wads the buy Harleys to be cool. You know the guys that are too cool to wave back. Now that is warm and they are on the road, I'm once again disgusted by that. In winter every biker waves, it is an acknowledgment of another "real" biker who rides because they love it. I know a couple of real bikers who prefer Harleys and they can appreciate any bike for its merits. They'll also admit their bikes weak spots too. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

A funny story, and totally true, one of my fellow ECE students owns a mid-90s Shadow. He bought it not running when he was 17, and he and his dad cleaned it up, repainted it, and he decided he wanted to do a "sportster" sort of look. He really wanted something he could cafe, but the Shadow was, according to him, "had for the price of a song. No, really, I sang for it." So clip-ons, some controls moved, a modified seat, wrapped pipes (cunningly baffled inside, too), and he said there is no end to all the people who compliment him on his "badass Harley." His is about the only v-twin cruiser I would ever consider owning, I think. -Kurt On Wed, May 16, 2012 at 8:36 PM, Allen Thomas <althomas...@gmail.com> wrote: > ** > Don't forget the Chinese farkles those guys tend junk up their bikes with. > Those are the kind of ass clowns that pay $5 to whack a Jap bike with a > sledge hammer at rallys.
