Ripper and I .... admiring the women riding big Harleys
I have to go hmmm?
...As my son said, getting his first look at his new baby sister, 20 years ago, "she's beautiful and delicious, Mom!"......it's been our family's exclamation of extreme admiration since that day....
TRES BON!!
There were dozens of Gold Wings in the parking lots for the 95th. Plenty of space to park next to them too!
I thought that too, til I read about the guy that chromed his brake rotors.
It keeps all the blood in. Ever seen one of those things pulled off a accident victim? Nothing but soup inside sitting on a broken neck. The lucky ones only get the broken neck and paryalyzed. Damn things kill a HELL of a lot more people than they have ever saved.
I saw it the first time. One of the bennies of riding Harleys."Uh,what's your sister doing? How about your mama?".

Harharhar... Well I'm electric but I drink sh!tty 7-11 coffee. Dark. Dregs and ALL. All the time. And nothing else. In between hard liquor that is. Huh. In fact I don't even know what a latte is. Sounds like some kinda fancy shmancy frufru girly-a$$ bath item.
How many miles per year do you ride?
If you ride an occasional few hours once or twice a month in good weather in non-city traffic, I can see you lasting a thousand years. If you ride every day 20 miles to work and back on the Interstates in Houston, I give you five years. I can't go five years without getting rear-ended in my truck in the stop-and-go traffic on 59. Getting rear-ended in a truck is no big deal. Getting rear-ended on a motorcycle is a different story entirely.
Don't get me wrong. I love motorcycles. After 50,000 uneventful miles I decided to quit while I was ahead. The thought of getting killed doesn't bother me that much. The thought of joining the ranks of Christopher Reeve bothers me a lot.
May the Good Lord keep you safe on your bike all the days that you ride.
You'd like our Arizona Guzzi Rally. We take a 10 gallon stewpot, fill it with water, throw in some coffee and set it on a burner 'til it's done'.
We do keep a strainer handy for the bigger chunks.
Chrome don't make it go faster or go 'round corners better.
With the exception of the standard chrome bits (exhaut, handlebars, & crashbar), all the other shiny bits I got are polished aluminuminum....num.
That includes the kneepads on the fuel tank.
Like the old sayin' sez: "Chrome don't git ya home".
