I always try to screw the gawkers quickly before the light turns. Quite a challenge. Try it sometime if you don't believe me.

As far as I am concerned, I am the only one sitting there.

If I am in the turning lane at the light I make eye contact with every one there so some cager doesn't take a tight turn and run me over. As I rule I always catch the guys in the mini van looking at me in a jealous stare as theyare daydreaming and ignoring the van load of little crumb crunchers who are looking at me because I am louder and shinier than anything else at the light.

Just kickin' the wasp's nest bro. So far the best Harley I've ridden is the Street Bob, there is no match for it's performance and handling. Some guys (even friends who own Street Bobs, say that they are veryrigid regarding suspension, but I've a different opinion, very confortable riding position)

Stay cool,

Mimo.

Is this for real? Unless you are wearing a patch (real one, not HOG or "Live to Ride") and there's 40 of you with the same patch, aint nobody scared of you. They are prolly thinking, "There goes another mid-life crisis, poor dudes wife". Amazes me how owning a motorcycle can induce delusional thinking.
