My Girlie Bike!
09/16/09 at 17:09:32

I like my Girlie bike!!!
It reminds me a lot of of the 1950's AJS singles. You know, the ones that set all those motorcycle world records!
Of course, it's only a Girlie bike...see, it's only 650cc! You know, like the Triumph Thunderbird that Marlon Brando rode to fame as the original Bad A$$.
And it's not made of plastic, and I don't have to pay some wrench 300.00 to sync the carbs.

I have had bigger bikes and faster bikes and more comfortable bikes, but none that was any more FUN! I can ride home through freeway traffic and still grin. And, it has been a long time since I had one this cheap to keep. Man, I like my “Girlie bike”!!!

Ive been looking at the thread titled Selling Questions & Ive been avoiding the temptation to go in there & say The first selling question to deal with is "Why?", have to have a very serious reason. I only know of one. Health.

A lot of the V-Twin riders come up all the time and are astonished when they see that it's a single 650CC. Seems like they kind of respect that.

no i can't keep up with the 1000cc's crotch rockets, or do i rumble(or shake) like a harley BUT i can roll off the throttle in a tunnel and make everyone duck! i can do all my own work, i skid her down @ 50mph and just have a dent. i have exactly what i want because that's what the savage is to me, what i want. could i get a hyabusa and be like every overcompensating guy....sure but i don't have 13g's lol

btw i painted my headlight 2day, black with the silver lip....and i touched up the rear fender which still has the stock black paint with the flat and i like how nasty it looks. could i get a sportster and fall in line, of course but where's the fun in that!! plus i like riding more then i do tightening down bolts Tongue

I've heard the "Girlie Bike" comment before too ... mostly from young, testosterone filled Crotch Rocket Ridin' types ... but since I've been on the planet twice as long as they have I just laugh it off and tell 'em that yeah, maybe so, but what odds? ("who cares" in Newfanese) ... better are the folk who ask if it's a 250 and when a say no it's a 650cc single, they jaw-drop in astonishment ... or the older guys who get wistful looks in their eyes and tell me it reminds 'em of the large Thumpers they Rode in their youth Cool

Yeah, 8 years ago I thought it was gonna be my "starter bike." (Even though I did have a Honda XL250 back in the 80s.) But I truly do not know of a motorcycle I'd rather have than my Savage. I knew it was going to be easy to work on too, but I've tackled more "high-degree-of-difficulty" projects than I ever thought I would, almost all successfully. My bike still looks good enough to turn heads, and people like to stop and tell me about bikes they had back in the day. Cool

Even though my Savage ended up being a "starter bike," and the person I bought it from said if I rode all the time it would be. I never got any feedback that it was a girlie bike. Many of the people that I hung around with were older HD riders and they either knew the Savage, or asked about it and then were very positive about a 650 single. I try to be equal oportunity, but I hope the rider in the pink Tu-Tu on the pink MC is female.
