<FONT size=3>Ah, yes you are correct. "Rich Urban Biker". I first heard this last year while riding with a friend. Regular people that might have to work 2 jobs to have a bike, then you have the guy or gal that has nothing better to do with there money they go and buy the best Harley money can buy then on top of that they TRICK it out before it ever leaves the dealership and to make me even sicker yet they pay CASH for it. Oh, well as long as they don't act all uppety like there **** don't stink I can deal with it.</FONT></P>


<FONT size=3>Hey, I'll take there $$$$ when I open my service and repair shop. Hell those are the kind that want the BIG BORE KITS. I'll be GLAD to take care of them and their $$$$.</FONT></P>


<FONT size=3>Keep the RUBBER side DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!</FONT></P>
