You people are a bad influence.
07/26/11 at 18:09:56

I bought my purty little Savage March of 2009. I was a straight-laced, by-the-book, pure road burner. I even read the owner's manual. Then I found this site. It started kinda innocent at first. I just shaved the letters off the side covers and painted them back black. Then I noticed the seat was hard, so I put memory foam in it arguing to myself no one would know. Someone had crash bars so guess what? Then the muffler fell apart. I had to actually go talk to Harley folks behind the garage in the weeds where cash was exchanged and I ran home with a shiny muffler. After that, I was bold and installed a Raptor petcock. I even told my Suzuki guy what it was for. No shame any more. I've done a few more little odds and ends, but tomorrow I'm going to buy a 140/90-15 tire and I know it's not stock. Oh, and today while pricing tires, I bought a doo rag. I'm not a doo rag person....or I wasn't before. Thanks.

Reply #3 - 07/26/11 at 19:30:38 I did look at the gators you pointed out, Daystar 58s, and the "You people" thing is showing that I didn't want to be this way, but I am weak. Now please don't ask, "What do you mean by 'this way'?"

Mmm HmMMM.. sure, that 50-lb Buick muffler just fell apart by gosh.. Roll Eyes

I think the doo-rag gene was there the whole time, it just needed a support group.

We are who we are deep down. Sometimes what is hidden deep down, but that which was really there all along, just needed the right influences to rise to its rightful prominence. In other words, you are most welcome.

I know what you mean boofer. i bought a nice and shiny (nearly) new savage and was too content. i crashed it and started getting it back to factory condition, but while looking for parts here, the bike started morphing: losing parts, getting louder, flat black got involved. now its a completely different animal and i love it Cheesy

i was so naive and innocent, now i'm a biker pro that all my friends come to for advice. thanks everybody.

Uh yeah, I think that gets the golden doo-rag right there. The holder of the golden doo-rag award shall heretofore retain the right to feature the aforementioned golden doo-rag as his or her avatar, for a period of one week. After which, the golden doo-rag shall be subject to challenge by sheer insanity of the challenger's bike's modifications. Cheesy

Honorable mentions and future golden doo-rag candidates include Lancer, Truckinduc and Rocco.
