my bike vs my wifes, and traffic!
let me set the story here, I am lucky enuf to have a 2000 FLHTC, my wife has an '08 Star 650 silverado classic.
I was stupid enuf to wait till past the last minute to get new tires for "The Pig" (my nick-name for my ride). Found me a set of tires, supposed to be here on the 20th, anyways, I've been riding my wifes' bike back and forth to work for the last week. Man, what a big difference!
Mostly it's the size difference because I'm 6'2" and 2++ (we won't go there!) and I can relax on my ride and with hers I just feel bound up on it.
But, the thing I've noticed the most is, the reactions of the cars on the road.
I don't know if it's the color of my bike,burgandy red, or the size of it and me on it, but , when I'm in traffic I get crowded alot more than I do when I ride mine. It's almost like they don't see me. More than usual, that is. I really gotta rubberneck. I just cannot wait to get my new tire on the bike. Me and a coupla buds are gonna give me a hand.
