Ah, the Harley-knockers are in, I see....
It never ceases to amaze me that when I stop, people think they have free license to come up and say something 'amusing' but derogatory about my bike. Wonder how they would feel if I did the same to their 'race replica' or 'plastic fantastic'?
As someone said, yes you have to change a few things, i.e. exhaust, filter, fuel management and fit some sticky rubber, but when you do... and you ride it properly!... then by God it is an awesome experience.
For me, it is not about what you ride, but how you ride it...
Peace out, TC
