Title: Optical Delusion !
Post by zipidachimp on 09/28/24 at 19:46:04

I never thought my S40 was a small bike until last week. Drinking a coffee at McD's and looking at my bike in the parking lot, it looked really small. Walking out afterwards, and standing beside it, it is small! Maybe I should quit parking between monster P-ups!
Feels perfectly normal during a ride and in the garage!
Cheers! :D

They ask me al the time if its a moped.

I'm not kidding. I drove a Moped for a while (slightly tuned). That was much more practical in the city because I could drive between everything and also the one-way streets in both directions.

But now they know me that way. And I'm quite tall. So people quickly see a moped in it.
I really have to say no,,,, it's a motorcycle, and then they often don't believe me.

It's not really macho to drive a savage in a country where people are much taller than the world average.

I usually say that I just took the training wheels off.

No need to feel deficient, just remember that they have no idea how big that thing is between your legs when on your bike.

Yeah, they Are small. I actually looked like a regular sized guy when I was riding one.
Well, I looked like a regular sized guy on a motorcycle further away from the viewer than I was.

I put taller shocks on my S-40 to make it look taller and found it didn’t drag the foot pegs as often [ch128513]

Really the 350 Meteor is bigger than the S-40 but it’s only almost as much fun to hot rod !
