My first bike was a 250 Rebel, then I bought a 883lx sportster.  Then I bought a 1450cc deluxe.  It was like riding on a cloud.  I had it lowered and felt very comfortable riding it, but tight turns, backing it up - I didn't feel that comfortable.  It started to feel like a chore just to take it out for a ride.

So, I sold it and bought a used S40 and I love it.  It's fun, light, and a lot easier to make those u-turns.  I can even stand next to it and move it!  It's a blast to ride, I feel comfortable riding it and that's all I care about.  I don't give a hoot what any jerk says about it.  Maybe they need a big bike to make up for their little...oh never mind.  Wink

Only those who ignore negativity directed towards others, can rise above the negative ones, otherwise your under their control.   Not everyone in this world is intellegent and/or has moral fortitued, and those who try to bring others down have neither. Find something in life that pleases you, and enjoy it, and realized some will  never be consious of their life, pitty those, but don't become them.

You know what?  I think a lot of folks buy a larger bike as a status symbol.  I can't believe the number of bike riders at work, but do they ever ride them regularly?  No, that is the difference between them and us.   We need something that we can use daily and not just on the perfect sunny day.   So who cares what they think we have grat bikes.

I'd have said "Yep.  It's my triumph over the rising cost of gasoline."

I come from the Harley Davidson school of riding, both of my previous bikes being HD's. Jumping back in the saddle after around a 14 year layoff, I started looking again. I first started looking at Harley's. Prices/culture/Chinese influence kind of turned me off. Also, my approach to riding has changed. When I was 21, I got my first street bike, a 1972 Sportster. Most of my friends were riding either Shovels, Pans, and a couple of Knuckles. I'm going back to 1981, so they were all American bikes. My Sporty was considered "small" at that time.

I made the decision to broaden my search to include anything V-Twin including Yams/Honda's/Suzuki's. Alsmost bought a 1999 Intruder 1400, but I felt that the price was way high at $4000.00 including horribly pitted forks. Kept looking and found a guy in March selling my 1987 Savage. Never in a million years would I believe that I would be riding a Thumper, but there was something about it....

Hopped on, and tore up and down his block a few times and instantly grew a $hite eating grin on my face. Bought the bike, got my tags, went back to pick it up. Had to ride 20 miles back on the highway. That grin came back.

I've not had the experience of getting anything but questions, and compliments from all riders I've come in contact with. People seem drawn to it, or maybe they're curious about the $hite eatin grin  Cool

Human stupidity.

There should be a minimum IQ required to reproduce, say about 135. For every ten points above that, you can add one more child.  Wink


I think that I'm going to try to really confuse people. If I repaint the tank this winter, I'm going to add some tank decals close, but not identical to that used on Indian motorcycles.  Grin

Tell them to go f**k themselves.  

Then if they heckle you more, pull out your stilleto knife and ask them "who wants a piece".
