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!
