Ouch, Did someone get up on the wrong side of the bed

Heh heh heh..... Maybe.

Probably spending too much time in the general chat ... Tends to lower the IQ

What I should have said is if you are not scraping the boards then I encourage you to do so. I notice that you have slightly warmed your motor. It's a little wasted IMO if u are not giving the heritage a little bit of stick in the twists

But as you say , each to their own. Personally I will be looking for a bike with side car when I can't keep 2 wheels.

Agree about the IQ statement

If I go any faster, Grandma Pulls on my ears or smack's me in the side.

Also that fringe is not cheap and I'd hate to grind it off.

Any way we're just fine and love mostly putting around the county side looking at anything we see.

ride safe.

With the low clearance on a Heritage, if you're not scraping at least now and then, you're definitely just a putter. I had them torn up my first week with it. Thankfully, the wife likes the sparks. Thinks they're pretty.
