I didn't notice the absence of HD in his lists, no wait, he does have a couple - that were under the influence of some Italian manufacturer HD bought...

No, wait, the HD V-ROD Muscle is in there. But I would figure that a die hard HD person wouldn't necessarily like that bike.

Pacific Coast

#12 Unread post by RhadamYgg »

Man, I really wanted a Pacific Coast and he's ragging on it like no tomorrow.

Too bad they don't make them new and with ABS, but then again, even if they did it would probably cost too much.

And... I like the F800ST as well. If it didn't cost so much I'd probably be in that instead of the B-King.

Did you consider stealing one? Where there's a will, there's a way.

Well, I do live in the NY/NJ area - the vehicle theft capital of the world... But I'm probably the only biker in the world that doesn't know how to hot-wire a bike.

After reading some of his write ups, I felt compelled to leave this comment behind.
Tell me, who appointed you and what qualifications do you have to pass judgment on bikes? To be perfectly frank, your write ups sound like some hysterical old queen throwing a hissy fit at a fashion show.
The guy is a right frustrated wanker if you ask me with a thinly disguised hate on for bikes.
Always ask why.

He's probably got a gold standard and anything that isn't that bike - is ugly.

It is well done at least.

The only thing uglier than a R1200C is a R1200C with ape hangers!! Believe it or not, someone where I work has one, and it shows up in the parking lot a few times each summer. Blecchhh!!!

After all the abuse I put it through I can safely say my Vulcan 500 takes the crown of Ugly.
One thing you can count on: You push a man too far, and sooner or later he'll start pushing back.

I don't think any well-used bike can truly be ugly.
