lol...I know I know. I like to see how people react when I say something like that. There have been many "older guys" (I'm only 30) that I have tried to tell me that "BIG CUBES" is the way to go and that having a supercharger is a waste of money. My response is "lets line them up...I'll give you a head start...lol


In all reality everyone is going to like different things...even though I will never understand the huge *** front tire craze

That I would say, coming from a guy that like big front tires, is too out there even for me. I love the look of it but that can't be comfy to ride. I could be wrong though....
I am bout spending 60k to find out either.

it looks really low to the ground, I wonder if it has air ride or something to drop it like that.

Sure as hope so!! If not, pulling out of anywhere and turn will scrape the bags to dust. Thanks for the link.

"Needs paint", translated means, "I better sell this before I dump more money in it".

Look at the difference in tire size from the front to the back...looks COMPLETELY stupid and out of proportion....

Default Not Conversation---a "contest"???

Who's the insecure one? The guys doing the build or the jerk offs in the peanut gallery throwing insults?








Talk about a drama queen... So I was asked a question and I answered it honestly. So according to you I should "shut up."

So answering a question is some kind of huge freakin insult? I am a "jerk-off." What? You been peepin in my window or something?

Jeesh I wonder who is the one that is needy for attention here?

Remind me to never try to have an honest conversation with YOU as I am quite sure you would get all dramatic and extreme in your way of taking my points as though my opinion was the end of your world or something.

Get real please.
