I'd strongly suggest a light pink Tu-tu adorned with gosimer fairy wings on the back, I am pretty sure if you dressed in this rig, you wont threaten his (cough cough) macho manhood. :laughing:

You straddle a motorcycle, you don't straddle a scooter. Alot of scooters are also automatic very few bikes are.
So according to you, VRods are not Harleys even though they are sold at HD dealerships, scooters are not motorcycles even though they are sold at motorcycle dealerships, and cars and trucks are not very closely related... :dumbfounded:

So I assume your Sportster is not a real Harley either as that's what insecure individuals on Big Twins say....

I always wave except to this one guy in my town who is "too cool" to wave back. Otherwise I always wave!

Has anyone ever met him? Has anyone ever seen a photograph of this Adonis? :ohyaoh:

Personally I think it's highly probable that he is a 15yr old schoolboy trying to wind us up :lolsign:

Scooters aren't motorcycles, there's a distinctive difference in how they operate, how you sit on them etc. They're only motorcycles in the sense that they have 2 wheels. VRODs aren't real harley davidsons, because well, harley davidsons make 45 degree aircooled vtwins. The Vrod doesn't fit in that category.

Cars and trucks aren't that close either. They're both motor vehicles, and sure they share quite a bit in common. But nobody is mistaking a car for a truck. A truck normally sits higher, has a bed, is and is built for a number of things, hauling/towing, offroading etc. I don't see many cars hauling a load of stone, or pulling a fullsize camper, or offroading. But I see trucks doing it all the time.

It's funny you'd mention a sportster not being a real harley davidson. Last time I checked it had a 45 degree aircooled vtwin. Not to mention it's harley davidson's longest running line of motorcycles dating back to 1957. This is longer running than the current softail (1984), Dyna (1991), Touring (1980).

Which is precisely my point. :wink:

"I like me. My wife likes me. My customers like me!" <--- if anyone gets the movie, I'll be surprised...
Planes Trains and Automobiles.... IIRC the scene was after John Candy completely destroyed the bathroom and Steve Martin just FLEW off the handle. CLASSIC... Must watch it again. :)


DAMN! You're good. My partner's dad is obsessed with that movie... I had never even heard of it before that, lol. Is that one of those cult classics and I just never knew it?
