I never get any compliments, I guess I'm too darn ugly and mean looking.

 

Generally prefer it when it's me getting the compliment rather than my sled.

Just sayin. ..

 

Can't say that I have. My stuff is pretty old (Pans and a Shovel) so most looking don't really know what hey are look at it seems

 

Yeah. Well. Most I hear is. "Get that piece of **** out of my way'".

 

3 out of 4 times when fueling up someone will compliment my Road King. I can be with others riding with me on more expensive models, several times people have walked by and asked about mine. My buddies say "We don't get it.... it's just a plain black Road King". I laugh and reply.... "That guy got it!"

 

God for you.

 

No way do i get tired of someone complementing my bike, but what I do get tired of is people asking "why don't you wash that nasty bastard?"

 

When I used to use Supertrapp mufflers I got thanked for the quiet exhaust a couple times while waiting at a light.

The best one was outside a Subway restaurant at a strip mall. I was getting my jacket and helmet on and a really crippled up little old man was shuffling by with one of those canes with the 3 rubber tips. He didn't even look at me or stop. Just kinda waved his cane at the primary side and said, "That 103 mean the horsepower?" I said no, it's the cubic inch displacement. He just grunted and said, "Shoulda' got an Indian."

Still makes me smile to remember him.

 

I came out of a Home Depot and there was an "older guy" leaning against his truck looking at my bike. When I got to it, he started taking about his past bikes and how he missed riding. We talked about 10 minutes about bikes and I found out he was a Nam Vet too. That led to 10 more minutes of memories. It was a good meeting between 2 people that a lot in common.

 

I get compliments on my bobber all the time. Makes me smile.
