Talking with a Chopper rider yesterday

[Chrisj CMA]

Notice I didnt say he was a biker.......His daddy bought him a  $50,000 chopper for his college graduation.  He is already banned from driving it for speeding.  But he showed me a and Judy a picture at the doctor's office yesterday (he works there)

So I compliment him.....it is a cool looking chopper.  I asked how does it feel after an hour on it, he says its brutal because its a hard tail....WOW for 50K too.

Ok this is precious.....when Judy sees the picture she says....a chopper huh.....we have a real bike, and she explains the nickle trick..LMAO, he says what is it and she says a Valkyrie.........and he answered...."I was going to get one of them"  

Ya right!

So then I asked him how many HP....he didnt know.....I said well Harleys have to add lots of expensive parts to get to 100hp, but I said Im not familiar with the S&S motor as far as hp......thats when he said "ya, I think its 100hp........I know I paid for extra performance parts"  didnt know what he (his daddy) paid for, but by george it was gonna be a fast chopper.  He was shocked to learn that the Valkyrie had a 100hp straight from the box (well I know its slightly under, but Ive seen ads saying its a 100 so thats my story)

Now all this time the banting between V-twin and Valkyrie F-6 has been in fun and taken well by both sides, but I could tell he was searching for that killer ending statement that would prove his bike was the best........

It was pathetic

I wasnt going to go there but it fell into my lap

He says....with the performance parts and the exhaust he really loves the LOPING  (you know the potato potato sound)

Dont know where it came from, but without hesitation I said.....you ready?





"All I have to do is unhook 4 spark plug wires and mine will do the same thing"

He laughed, and said "thats good....I mean really good, you got me......" we both laughed and shook hands

No, not fair.....if I unhook 4 thats 66% unhooked.  Ill race you that way but you have to only unhook 50%....thats just unhooking 1

In my experience, the kids who get free brand new cars/cycles, etc. age 16 on up bought by mommy and daddy are almost all spoiled rotten brats that  end up crashing their vehicles or crashing and die.

I think if you unhook one, it'd just be tater "tots".

Most of those chopper owners never amass any sort mileage.
You'll see them cruising Main St. or A1A profiling for "chicks"
You can see these "owners" in Daytona during Bike Week. I've seen these guys totally flip out when their bikes won't start due to a discharged battery, or run out of gas, not knowing there is a reserve at the petcock, and run down their batteries by cranking untill it dies.
