Ride IT, no way. You need to put in living room and look at it. Under the swing arm ??? Boy, you put me to shame !
I saw what I thought was someone's newly acquired Honda Shadow at work a while back. I asked him when he got it. He said it wasn't new, he just hadn't ridden in several months. I asked him why, with sympathy in my voice, having just recovered from knee surgery myself. He responded that he had washed it and didn't want to get it dirty.
I shook my head, walked away, and haven't talked to him since. It shows up once every two weeks or so. I don't park next to it. I figure if he only rides every two weeks, I can't trust him not to drop it over on mine.
Anyone that knows me knows Im one of them fanatics like Smokin Joe........just has to have the bike looking clean and shiny.......but now that I have 106,000 miles on it (of course) it shows 6,000 miles on it, I love to mess with people........they say "Nice bike, no wonder its so clean.....you never ride it" I say "Ya, for a '97 it has a whole 6,000 miles" and sometimes I catch people and they say, "Ya, I have a HD in the garage like that..........maybe get 500 miles a year on it"
Then I tell them about the "Other" 100,000 miles that doesnt show on the odometer.............I love doing that
How many bikes can have 100,000 miles NOT show on the odometer or on the bike or in how she runs!
