Actually, all of the specs came from a VN750 Vulcan I was considering, but I was surprised by by the bike by
how much it masses wet when I was expecting 489 pounds and I actually got 560 pounds in reality.
Weight and mass are something of interest to me now, today I go look at a $1500 Barcalounger that weighs in at 600 pounds just to see how far my limits can mentally and physically stretch.
Both Dave and MM keep a long distance bike ..... mebbe I should too.
MM wants to go places ..... and his idea of how far is pretty durn far both for the trip and for today. Dave is the same way, he likes to ride. I'm going to up the mass ante in my mind to see what kicks out.
Issue with both is they like to go too slow (semi-legal) in strange places. And it is all too strange for going out busting Hurleys.
Speaking of busting Hurleys, you do remember the White Whale up on the Dragon that passes everybody all the time? Passed us too, although we all fought, we couldn't stop the silent White Whale from easing on by. I wasn't insulted at all, really, I admired his skill more than anything else.
Which do you think would be more insulting to Hurley riders, being passed by a Granny sickle or being passed by a White Silver Whale?
