So I pull up the my local coffee shop/food place to do some work on the computer. I get of my Hog, walkin' towards the door when this little New Yorker, who can't stop ajusting his hair, says "Wanna Race?" ...
Inquireing minds need to know....did he ride that bike from New York to New Mexico?

I am pretty sure 70 years ago Indians were the faster bike.

Let it go dude.

And stop buying coffee at Starbucks.
Santa Fe Baking Co. If you're ever in the area you should check it out. All you can drink coffee, good Adovada, Green Chile , locally owned and operated.
Well, that changes everything.

I LOVE coffee but hate Starbucks.











You still need to let it go however, and next time tell the guy to leave you alone.
OK now that's just un-American. How can anyone hate Starbucks? There's nothing better after a ride than a half-caf skim milk peppermint latte with Madagascar cinnamon and a blueberry scone.

Wait....am I thinking or typing?

if you came out to New Mexico I'm pretty sure you wouldn't call anything out here "Urban".
I probably would.

I would go for a distance race. Something in the 2000 mile range.

No. He came here via San Fransisco

No riding involved. Like I said, he got picked up to go pick up his ride.

Was a metric cruiser guy. Now he's a green ninja

That's why you need two bikes, I have my Bandit to shred corners on and my Dyna to ride the rest of the time.



One thing you could do is tell him you'll race, sit there at the stop light or whatever and rev it up good, start off then stop and watch him go blazing off like a dipshit while you turn around and motor off the other direction.....it's kinda' fun.....

I don't know about you, but buying a Harley for speed seems like a total waste of money to me. I traded my VRod for a new Twin Cam to relax while riding, not race. And by the way, New Mexico is nice place. Rode there a few times.
