Are you done putting down the Switchback yet? This is getting to be a bit much........

 

Good thing for Google - it quickly puts this to rest.

And I'm just gonna say this - Who cares. The Switchback is a decent motorcycle and fills a niche - male or female. And I've said this before, I've seen plenty of chicks on Street Glides, Heritages, and RKs and we don't call them chick bikes.

 

It was a bit much a couple dozen posts ago.

 

 

Hey if they gave away a caddy V I would drive the hell outta it! even if it were pink.

 

I worked with a guy in my USAF days, whose wife was a top Mary Kay salesperson. He drove a pink Caddy to work every day. It didn't cost him a dime to drive, and it was a pretty nice car.

 

It's obvious grants82 is a closet Switchback admirer. I wonder what else he's in the closet about.
