+1.......biggest waste of money I've ever seen. Those guys spend a ton of money to make their bike look ridiculous. I wouldn't own one of those if you gave it to me. Your buddy is gonna "tour" on one? Good luck with that. Does he have a clown suit to wear while he's riding it? Seems appropriate to me.

 

I always have wondered what would happen if the air ride system suddenly lost air pressure in a turn or at highway speed. Hell of a thing to bet your life on.....

 

Yah know this reminds me of all star baggers motto.

"Haters will make you famous"

 

Its a shame not everyone can think exactly like us HDF members and have the same bikes. That wouldnt be boring at all. But then, we cant even agree if its ok to wear a do-rag or not. LOL

 

Your buddy's trip up Pikes Peak may go something like this:

 

I haven't made it to do rag still trying to figure out if my vest and short socks are okay... I should probably just stab him.

 

The big question is, do you really want to be seen with him?

 

True but then when they lower the bike to the ground, install a 26" bigwheel and add stretched bags then say "We are a little concerned he's going to drag bags." Then ask my opinion about it's drivability. I will then give my opinion.

It's like someone that joins the army because they think chicks like soldiers. Then when they find out they are to be sent to Syria or Afghanistan and their response is "gee, I shouldn't have to actually fight in a battle. Don't you agree? Give me you honest opinion." I will give my honest opinion and say "What the f**k were you thinking?!? Soldiers are trained to fight in combat! That's what they do!"
Motorcycles are meant to be ridden! That's what they are for. You slam it to the ground and add a huge front tire and then ask "gee, what if I have to actually actually go around a turn?"

My remarks are not directed toward the OP. I am taking about the morons that build these cycles and then,as an afterthought, think about what it would be like to actually ride the thing.

 

Wonder if stretched bagger riders are also sitting around trying to decide where to put the gas cap while filling up?

 

I get a kick out of the big wheel bagger boys that don't have air. They be flat footing the bike to turn them around corners. I just can't help myself,, I laugh so hard it hurts.
