i was leaving the hardware store yesterday when there was this guy doing the double take. he came up and asked if i was riding an "old indian"

i wish ! or a new one ($30 - $40 K !)

last week somebody asked if it was a sportster

what would they thing if i took off the suzuki s40 badging?
(edit)

it's true isn't it? you look at these bikes and think "that's what a motorcycle is supposed to look like !"

i was riding next to an older(much older) gentlemen, he was on an indian bobber with a sidecar. he had all of these run and charity patches....the bike was beautiful!!

i told him so @ a light, he looks over and goes "what's that?!" i laughed and told him. he said "u seem to get up and go fine on it!"

he was correct!

i love people asking if it's a harley, or if it's hard to keep a bike from the 70's runnin lol mission accomplished!!!

I usually get asked "what is that?!" And before Im done saying Suzuki I get some snide reaction. I am/have developed/developing a great disdain for HD riders around here.

Someone had the website posted and I just copied the pic. Someone here may still have the web address for it. Almost seems though like it was in another language ,so not sure how much good it would do. Just more pics there
