I'll have to think about that the next time I'm on a sportbike.<br /><br />The only Harley I've ever thought attractive was a Sportster, but I've heard they are a rough ride. Plus, I'm not particularly interested in buying something that's overpriced and *everyone else* is also doing (note my lack of Mac tech). I'll leave the Harleys to those who appreciate them more.<br /><br />And...<br />I can't wait 'til you are out here so we can ride together! :D<br />(((BUG!)))Anne C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09444051201220766948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889198.post-41188351003434882232009-08-13T09:22:43.536-06:002009-08-13T09:22:43.536-06:00LOL You're right & wrong Anne... As we app...LOL You're right & wrong Anne... As we approached the Suzuki I asked you what you liked about it because I honestly wanted your unfiltered opinion of why it appeals to you, but I was curious outside of my own vision. I honestly was trying to process my own thoughts on the bike even as I asked you -- I'm growing more fond of cruisers that are pared down and more "original" (like those you are attracted to), though I still don't care for the larger Harleys or choppers.<br /><br />I actually found myself liking your little Suzuki as we admired it's pretty red paint and you tried to form words around your attraction.<br /><br />My bike is only a 500cc sportbike, and thus has a much more upright riding position than most 600cc+ sportbikes. And after having ridden it for four years, I can say I'm interested in trying out something that's even a little more upright, putting my legs more under me (though w/out the toe extending in front of the knee) than behind me.<br /><br />I'm glad you were able to tie your attraction to the history of motorcycling, my dear friend. I think my Dad would truly love to talk to you. I was never really drawn to his old motorbikes, but then again what probably draws me to the bikes I do like is the ones that bridge the gap between four-legged horsepower and two-wheeled horsepower.<br /><br />I'm most comfortable on a bike that reminds me of horseback riding, and the seat on my Ninja does remind me of the gentle sloping of an equine back. :-DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
