Things were different in the '70s. I kicked my fair share of doors and fenders. Sure wouldn't try it now! I'd like to though...

I once pulled up at a redlight in the right lane and was waiting to turn right. I felt something pushing my bike and looked back to see an old woman with her bumper against my leather saddlebag very slowly creeping forwards while looking the opposite direction. A solid kick back against the grille of her car got her attention and luckily she hit the brake and not the gas. I cussed her out in good style and even kicked her car again to get my point across. Kind of childish on my part, but hopefully she'll watch out for cycles a little more.

so now im a troll or a little kid if i ask a question about a rumor?

the meaning of a forum troll is a person who sits and waits for someone to say or ask something that they are not sure about and then jump all up in their **** about it.....so now... who is the troll?

and i havent been in school for over 10 years now.

ex-****ing-scuse me for thinking that a question could be asked without being chided and mocked.

seriously **** you all.
this was your question.......

"i heard a story once about old bikers who would weld a small loop into the frame or some place handy then hang a hammer in that loop....if someone cut them off or pulled out in front of them, they would take the hammer and remind the car that they should share the road (usually meaning they would bash a mirror)

anyone still carry the traffic hammer? (if so - you are awesome)"

now.......if you were to just leave it at the question....you probably would have been ok....but you added.......if so - you are awesome.

now other than the fact that it sounds stupid and typically is a comment some teenager would come up with is why some people on here took the stance they did with you.

it wasn't the question that was chidded and mocked it was your retarded awesome comment that was mocked.

you wanna ask a question then ask it without the dumbass comments added to it.

just my .02

BEANERUS-- now we have all of that out of the way, tell us about the shovelhead you will enentually get.
You will find a wealth of info here about older models that will indeed help you out at some time in the future.
Don't let this string put you off--never give up--shake it off and keep posting.
