Point well taken  cooldude (Taco Bell, Taco Via), is that all you eat for lunch ?  2funny

No, but I do enjoy a good taco or burrito.   I guess not much worth sharing happens when I go to Subway, Burger King, or Jose Pepper's.   Wink

Stopped by my local Honda dealer today-they handle most brands except Suzuki-and my sales guy friend pretty much confirmed what we iz readin here. In FACT his words were-M/Cs are no longer our bread and butter-the side by sides are the bread and butter now. NOT a new G/W on the floor-you want one you order it. The Can Ams on the other hand are selling good. Parts dept and shop have added staff. Happy now I turned down the salesmen job offer!  Roll Eyes HE do have a bit of price room on used units-negotiating-but dang near zero on new units-2 wheel. Been breezing with him on and off fer 10 year. Just some more F Y I from another dealer. RIDE SAFE.

RIDE SAFE.

I stay away from White Castles.  I recognize they could help me with some issues of slow or painful defecation but I choose alternate solutions.  Smiley

Uncle Sam kept me in Wichita for 4 years. I don't miss tornadoes, freezing rain and 80 MPH winds on a cool clear day. My Sunbeam Tiger was parked on a pea gravel lot and moved 6" sideways.

So big bikes must be dead, it's down to a comparison of fast "food"   lol

How can you guys get excited about that junk?

It took a year but after none of that fast food I sure feel better.  I'm supposed to be low energy and prone to catching all sorts of bugs.  After no fast food my energy level is higher and I can't remember the last virus that affected me even though several around me has had stuff.  

For me it's black coffee when we stop at McDonald's on a ride or Patriot guard mission and catch dinner later

Well having existed out of truck stops for more years than I care to recollect and different quality/taste of water and differing air qualities even AT my current age I am STILL fairly adaptable to different local situations. BUT on the other hand-I'd rather be ridin my big Cruiser. Sad to ponder that a lot of folks ignoring large displacement M/Cs will NEVER KNOW the freedom and soul cleansing peacefulness of what we here share-THE WIND. RIDE SAFE.
