True! His puffy clothes did look hilarious in the wind. Note the cigg in his mouth as well.

What not to wear while riding should be the caption! I wasnt even thinking of all that, just thought the bike was a hoot!

I'm digging the nightster. Some lower bars would make it about perfect. And mid controls.

At first I thought the same thing about the mid controls.
I never got to ride it when it had the stock mid controls, and I was thinking, why the hell are you turning this nice standard bike into a cruiser?!?!?
But then I rode it (with forward controls) and well..... It was pretty damn cramped feeling even with FC. I couldn't imagine how it felt with the mids and I am only 5'9".
Seems to me a taller person would have a hard time riding one of these things.

If ya want the real story on the beagle read the last part of my blog. :mrgreen:

So the low seat makes the reach to the controls too short? Damn. Maybe a higher seat... LOL, here I am, modding a bike in my head I don't even own :laughing:

Though thinking about it makes me want clip-ons and rear-sets for my 650R even more.
