Hey Pap, I've seen plenty of Honda riders that could trade places or join the Harley grouping. Presently, I'm sorta between Ducati and Triumph. Depends on how I stand.  |

I'm pretty sure Valkyrie doesn't fit into the Honda slot on that evolutionary chart. I know many Valkyrie riders think themselves more highly evolved than Harley riders.  |

Has ya seen some of the female type passengers on the back of a few of these machines?  I HAVE noticed that a couple of the gals exceed the carrying capacity of the machine by demselves as has the rider!  I know I have a gut BUT it is paid for.  Sorta tween duck and trumpet, Gittin my mornin chuckle here. RIDE SAFE. |

Lol, I have seen some that had so much hanging off both sides of the seat that one side would feed a third world country. |

that is so funny, loved it, but not quite accurate for some of us. I always laugh my keester off when the arrogant a-hole HD rider at work brings his HD to work with a VERY small/skinny back seat guessing 10" wide at most, if that. His wife also works at same place and when she gets on, her VERY wide backend hangs OVER and DOWN over that rear seat at least 1 foot on each side, NO joke. I swear that rear end is near 4' wide, for sure over 3'. Poor bike! I can ONLY imagine the lack of power that bike has with both of them on it although he is normal sized. Poor rear suspension/tire I wouldn't feel too comfy with his wife on back of my Valk I/S seat being much wider platform not like it would ever happen though. |

Screw being P C-the term yer lookin fer is-FAT ASS. I know it's an expression, but my ass is about the same as always. It's the belly that seems to hold all the extra calories, fat, water, beer, and pasta.  I have a lot of pants that fit my ass fine, but the chances of ever getting them buttoned up is fat-to-none.

Okay, I have owned every brand listed and a few others as well. The Harley that was supposed to be an every day ride was 4 bikes ago. The last two every day riders were Honda. Does that mean I am getting younger or just regressing? ???
What is with the prosthetic foot in hand for a Ducati? I found Hayabusa to be the ride most likely to prompt the need for surgical procedures.
