Let's see...the 599 has 47.4 ft/lbs of torque and 88hp so.......
Have you ever seen me give someone a hard time over what bike they ride? Including the Harleys.

Have you ever seen me brag about the power my bike outputs? No. I'm saying you don't need to have the biggest baddest best bike out there to have fun.

And the implication that I couldn't have had fun on my bike that is less powerful then the best out there doesn't mean it's any less enjoyable. Or any less a bike.

I have the same respect for the guy on the savage as I do for the guy on the meanstreak...
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

Altho I have never owned one , I think that side cars are way too kewl . It takes a different kind of rider for that kind of riding . And any brother or sister with their knees in the breeze regardless of the ride is definitely a kindred spirit ......... :wink:

Indeed, but that was because I never saw the irony. It said, "I like my chicken strips extra thin" and mine were maybe 1/4" wide at the time. What'd I miss???

I guess it comes down to personal perspective. To me 1/4" is wide.

Well, considering the fact that they were 1/4" wide even after sending sparks flying off my pegs I'm not sure what more I can do to appease you. I'm sure you'll be happy to know they were completely gone after my trip to The Dragon, but only after pinching my boots against the frame during some hard, prolonged leaning.
