Do you still have the stock exhaust? If so, it does kinda sound like one ::)

Had my tubes replaced from nails in the road. The mechanic that did the road test said my bike sounded like a pack of canaries going down the street. But, he also said that it was the smoothest shifting bike he had been on and was really fun to ride.

Maybe he thought I was riding a chinese knock off of a chinese bike? (that's my new favorite saying) :D

Depends how big he was, and how big you are ! :o ;D

I always chuckle about all the Sporty riders that wave to me,......before they get close enough to realize that it wasn't even a Harley, let alone a Sporty.
But then I like to think most of them are just nice friendly MC riders ;)

He's just showing his ignorance. If he said it to me I would have had to be on the Fly 50 when he said it. Now that's a scooter.

Obviously he doesn't know his bikes.
Anyone that does, would never call
our Thumers, scooters..
I would laugh it off.
Some of the guys I used to work with,
called my scooter a lawn mower.. lol..
When I got Genie, they said well it is
a little step above.. I laughed at them,
I said, better bike than what you have..
They didnt' even have a scooter... ;D ;D ;D :) kim

I pulled into a gas station once and the harley guy at the next pump asked me what size the engine was, I told him it was a 650 savage and he proceeded to tell me that it wasn't a 650 because it said S40 on the side cover. I guess he thought it was a 40cc thumper. Moron. He didn't buy the arguement that 40ci is 650cc. I just drove off shaking my head.

I have a nephew that simply flat refused to think my bike was bigger than 150cc --- he thought 250cc was too big for it to possibly be.

I got him to bend over and look at the bottom of the jug ....

Hurley people have that problem a lot, up there in the mountains

My hubby teases me everytime I wash my bike. He keeps saying "you can water it all you want, I dont think its gonna grow any". Smarty pants. ;D

When I hear an insult, I just consider the source..... ;)

Scooter or sled apply equally to cruiser bikes.

Garbage barge, Geezer Glide, Lead Wing to touring set ups (or cop bikes).

Scooter trash, saddle tramp, iron butt, biker trash, etc apply more to the scuzzy, grease under the nails (toes too), bayonet in the jackboot types.

Calling a step through a scooter is misleading, the real name is speed bump. ;D

My bikes pretty clean.. almost no accessories... I guess not having badges and just the "S40" can look like a "250" if you're a retard. :D

Stone stock they do look like 250s. I have a really old 250 with the same wheelbase as the Savage. Same saddle height too.

My bike is neither clean or stock. Come to think of it, neither am I (really funny when you consider my wife and I make up to a combined $100/hour)... And I do have a bayonet that gets carried with me basically everywhere. And I ride in Nazi jackboots (Chippewa brand replicas, great riding boots)...

My friend Doug (who is moving here from Seattle) rides a Kawi 1500 Drifter that looks straight out of the 50s. Same boots, 1940s horse hide Norwegian police motor officer jacket, SS hair cut and honor dagger, hidden sidearm (or 3)...

We're both former club riders that gave up on HD and went rice. And kinda legit.

Side by side the orange 650 and green 250 are the same dimensions.

My bike has badges removed, no windshield or bags, no sissybar, titanium wrapped header, dyna muffler, and arrow rear turn signals... clean as a whistle and not 100% stock.. that's just the appearance though. So he either thought I was on a chinese 250cc or is just a looney.. oh well.. he get's to pump my gas next time :D

Youll be happier if you pump your own gas,,

I've heard some creepy-looking harly bikers refer to their own rides as scooters.
