      Wow, almost forgot another thing....another fellow worker who has two HD that's not running!, tells me why did I buy a bike from a country that bombed Pearl Harbor?? I told him that if he'll cut me a Check for 15,000 bucks and I sell my bike for what I paid for it ( 3,600 bucks ) to add on, I will get me a HD. And besides, when I go to start my bike, it doesnt tell me" F*** You, I'm not going nowhere"!!..... needless to say, he shut the F*** up, much like his bikes tell him.

No heckling here....in addition to the daily commute, I run errands all day for my office, and in the past 3 weeks I've had the following:

- Twice a guy (the SAME guy) pulled up next me in in his big old truck at the gas station when I was filling Suzi. "whadda ya got? I see ya rid'n araoun all the time! you must get some guud mileage missy."  I told him the mileage and he expressed awe and said he "needs to get me a bike!".
BTW - he is still driving his truck...go figure.

- At separate places, police officers stopped, did a double take, and walked around my parked bike with heads nodding. I could see them out the shop window doing so!

- A guy asked how high my speedo went. When I told him 100, he asked if I ever went that fast. I said there was no need to because the bike is perfect at 70 and gets 55 MPG.  He, sitting in his huge custom van, was very impressed!

- An undercover cop was waiting outside the courthouse for a transport and saw me pull up to drop some court papers. He went on forever about how cool Suzi is, making me late getting back to the office!

- A man getting out of his car with his wife and kid stopped on his way past me and said he LOVED my KalashniKitty, cool bike and to "ride safe".

- Three guys on leave from Iraq were walking thru the store parking lot when I pulled in, and they commented about my sheepskin seat pad. All of them agreed it was a sweet bike and they said they wanted sheepkins for their seats while on Iraq duty!

- On different days, two different women in my office park stopped their cars just to lean out and tell me to "you GO sister!" when they saw me on Suzi.

End result - if some ONE doesn't like the Savage, there are PLENTY of other people who do. Can't knock that!  Cool

This guy who has relatives across the steet from me bought one of those "retro" HDs with the springs on the front.  The rear is softail.  Has a spring seat.
First time I saw I thought.. "hey, bonzo (not his real name) got himself a used Harley.. too bad he didn't get one he could take his daughter on rides with"
Then I started talking to him about it.. found out it was NEW.  ooops  Embarrassed
Then found out he paid 20k for it!!  AND he did buy (layaway)another seat that can be "clipped" on for his daughter.  But can't afford to pick it up yet.

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut between the seat and the handlebars. Make sure yours isn't too tight or too loose.

I don't know, maybe bozo still applies. I would never pay 20 grand for a bike. I could buy a new car for that.

So he can have the seat or his daughter, but not both?

Just tell him we evened up that score at Hiroshima and Nagasaki!

____________________________________
(Getting off topic a bit -- I visited the memorial at Hiroshima a few years ago when my daughter was teaching in Japan.  I'd been warned by a cousin who had been there ten years earlier that the display tended towards some anti-American views -- "Here was this not particularly strategic town and the Americans nuked it for no particular reason", though not in those exact words.  By the time we got there, the displays were a lot more accurate -- telling you that Hiroshima was a garrison city, most of the children had been moved out to the countryside, it was being prepared for the anticipated American invasion of Japan, with conscripted (slave) Korean laborers clearing firebreaks and such what.  While still essentially pacifist, it was NOT specifically anti-American.  They even mentioned the Japanese actions in China in a negative manner.  I think the museum staff had noticed that the latest generation of Japanese kids were not getting an accurate view of their country's history in school.)

(As for getting fed inaccurate and downright untrue history in American schools -- well, that's a whole 'nother story!)
