Seen a few of those around here, the craze seems to be not using the kickstand, lots of guys just lean them over onto the bords and just step off the bike.

No joke it's practically impossible to dump one over at a stand still.

+1..........If I want an overpriced boat of a bike I'll buy a Busa and at least be fast enough to outrun the embarassment of having a hideous bike.

+2, if a bike looks that gross, it should at least do something cool.

AaaLLLLL ABOARD!  Victory Vision bound for France departing in five minutes, dock nineteen!

Papers please!   :laugh:

While cruising the interstate:

"Helm, steer heading two-two-five for course two-one-nine made good, make your speed two-seven knots thought the water.  Next checkpoint in three-seven minutes."

Goosing the throttle at a light:

"Fires to full ahead, draft for clear stack.  Maintain thirteen hundred over 900.  Two hundred and ninety seven on the barberpole."



Oooooookay.  I'll stop now.   :)

Good god were you a navy sailing boy or something.  A pirate maybe :dunno_white:  Pirates are the coolest ever YAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRR!


But on a real note I rode up behind one of those the other day and I liked them on paper, but it was way more than anyone would ever want for a real cruiser.  Touring cruiser I think it has a shower, sink, kitchen, sauna and the works so it'd be cool.

It defeats the point of riding.  It's supposed to be about you and the road, not you, the road, GPS, 6 disc C CD changers and ABS :icon_confused: :icon_confused:

thank you ^^^ !!!!  That is why I bought a naked for one, and for another I don't want to have to pick up an 800-900 lb bike when it falls over.

I'm saving up for the S.S. Victory. I heard that you can cross small rivers in amphibious mode.

Really, I heard that you could use it as a tug boat in amphib mode.

Very true, the only good use for chrome. I finally got rid of the stupid chrome around the headlight on my gs, I couldn't stand that. Sanded it down and painted, looks much better.
