The mechanic that did the road test said my bike sounded like a pack of canaries going down the street. But, he also said that it was the smoothest shifting bike he had been on and was really fun to ride.

I always chuckle about all the Sporty riders that wave to me,......before they get close enough to realize that it wasn't even a Harley, let alone a Sporty. But then I like to think most of them are just nice friendly MC riders

Obviously he doesn't know his bikes.
Anyone that does, would never call
our Thumers, scooters..
I would laugh it off.
Some of the guys I used to work with,
called my scooter a lawn mower.. lol..
When I got Genie, they said well it is
a little step above.. I laughed at them,
I said, better bike than what you have..
They didnt' even have a scooter... Grin

I pulled into a gas station once and the harley guy at the next pump asked me what size the engine was, I told him it was a 650 savage and he proceeded to tell me that it wasn't a 650 because it said S40 on the side cover. I guess he thought it was a 40cc thumper. Moron. He didn't buy the arguement that 40ci is 650cc. I just drove off shaking my head.

Reply #11 - 09/18/11 at 06:44:01 I have a nephew that simply flat refused to think my bike was bigger than 150cc --- he thought 250cc was too big for it to possibly be. I got him to bend over and look at the bottom of the jug .... Hurley people have that problem a lot, up there in the mountains
