So what we're seeing from you is in fact the real you.

One more thing. When I am wrong, I will always admit to my mistakes.

There are always bigger faster bikes or cars. My bike has 5735 cc's, 350 cu inches and 400 horsepower. It shares the garage with my Rocket 3. I have a 175cc KAWASAKI that I keep at my house in the Philippines, its considered big over there. My girlfriend and I use it to go to the beaches and mountains. Just a fact that some bikes are bigger, faster, slower, etc. They're all fun. I like it when some people are in shock when they see the Chopper but to me after 6 years its not such a mind blower anymore. Its human nature for many of us to want the biggest, fastest, rarest or whatever, in the end it doesn't make us as an individual any better or any worse.

I tell people John Deere makes the engine exclusively for Triumph, you'd be surprised how many swallow that.

So I am in my Chevelle today coming back from Hyannis to Sandwich on RT132. I am at a light and a guy some where around late twenties early 30s in a beautiful blue Subaru WRX pulls up on my left. This car was super nice. Of course I have no AC and my window is down so I can hear the sound of a performance exhaust. I look over and smile, give him a thumbs up (like nice car dude). He looks at me and starts to let me hear the sound of his car while he is on the brake and the car is doing the trans brake bump like I am at the staging lanes. I start to think, I am going to dust this kid. And then I start to to think about what those two ass bags on this forum (cramberraupmybuttR3 and lostrideiam adick) had to say about my Honda Fury post. I think I know why they dont understand why some guys have a laugh at guys like this guy in the WRX. Because they more than likely have been butt ****ed to death by liberal vegetarian tree huggin ass wipes that drive a Toyota Prius. I watch the WRX hit the go button as the light turns green and I drop the clutch, hit 2nd watch the the WRX move over to the right (my lane) bang 3rd and go by him. This would be the very same example I shared about the smug douche bag on the Honda Fury several posts ago, except this time I was on 4 wheels. I had some smug little prick give me the **** You old guy thing and I had to put him in his place. So with this, I would like to say to cranberryballsR3 and I lostmyride, I completely understand why you don't understand and are so condescending. You are douche bags! you are panty boys, SO GO **** YOUR SELVES! Anyone that is in the USA and wants to go hunting or fishing, I am in!

Funny, I was at the local biker bar, Indian Falls Log Cabin, it's usually 50 Harleys, and me. I pulled in next to a kid leaving, he had an old school Yamaha 650 twin chopper/bobber rat bike, it was army green, black wrapped 18" straight pipes, as old school as you can get, I told him that's a cool bike, I really like it, boy you could tell it made his day, the ear to ear grin was worth a million dollars, it's nice to make someone's day.

The range of Harley guys there is amazing, from weekend warriors that try to duckwalk their bikes at anything under 10 miles an hour, to guys with snow white pony tails in their 70s who I see make 2 mph full lock U turns in the parking lot, and say D*mn, they been riding a while.

Stripped her back and went on a ride up to Robertson, Kangaroo Valley, Berry, Gerringong and then Jamberoo Pub for a Schnitty and a beer last weekend (NSW towns for those not famiIiar). I couldnt believe the attention the bike got at all stops along the way. At the Valley (pictured below) whilst seated across the road from the bike having a coffee, i witnessed people stopping to check it out and most walked around the bike having s good old gawk. One bloke said to me later, is that a 1700cc? I just giggled before blowing him away with '23 hundred mate'.
My smile doesn't just appear when riding the bike. I smile when it grabs attention all by itself.
Love my Rocket.

I know that feeling you should try it with a rocket trike

I remember in my younger bikey(sp) days, when we'd all be sitting around drinking beer (or whatever) with our feet propped up, sooner or later we'd all start scrutinizing who had most worn boot soles. Invariably, it would be those who were either foot draggers (Mexican) or duck walkers and the teasing would begin..

Fine looking chopper. Can't figure out the front suspension.. Is that rigid?
