Default Dear Forum,

What should I do. I ride a decked out 2005 Harley Road Glide, made into an Ultra. Fun bike. Wife does not ride much anymore, so looking to sell it and maybe get a Road King. Now, I am a motorcycle enthusiast, so I ride whatever strikes my fancy. Latest addition to the stable is a Honda Pacific Coast. Nice little bike, fun to ride. No *****, no grunt, no legs, but fun. Never ceases to start a conversation at the gas station. Plus, I can carry a case of beer and ice in the trunk.

My dilemma? My riding buddy is shunning me, calling me a "scooter driver". Now, after topping 120 once on a Burgman, that doesn't bother me. BUT.....he sold a Harley and now has an Indian.

My question? What brand of beer should I but before I clock my Indian riding neighbor?

Give him a case of beer, then while he's drinking it you can rip up his front lawn with one of these...

How the hell did you get a Burgman to go 120 mph?
