Did a nice little 250 mile ride today. ;D Damn, I love speedy. :lh: Finally got to ride my 1st Harley. It's hard to believe, but I've never ridden any kind of Harley before. Well, I got to ride my friend's 94 Sportster, and le-e-e-e-t me-e-e-e-e-e t-t-t-t-ell ya, does that thang v-v-v-i-b-b-b-r-r-r-a-a-a-t-e. :gtfo: Honestly, I'm not exagerating one bit, that sucker put my feet to sleep after 2 minutes on them vibrating forward controls. You would be surprised how well the bike handles though. But absolutely no f'n brakes. After riding it, I can honestly say it was about what I was expecting, except I didn't realize it would vibrate quite that bad.
Well, next up was my buddy's brand spank'n new Vmax. ;D Got to say, I had a blast on this one. :smitty: The bike pulls good all the way thru the revs, but once ya hit 6k and that vboost kicks in, hang on. :smitty: Great bike, and personally, I think the bike handles better than all of the mags and all give them credit for. For what it is, it's a great damn bike. And of course, we had to go ahead and git it out of the way... we did a 2nd gear rolling kick up to about half way thru 4th. I gave the Vmax the twist of the throttle 1st(about half a bike length), then nailed speedy's throttle and she waved bye-bye :wave: and off we went. :smitty:
Really though, the Vmax was a great ride, but her weight does hurt her quite a bit. Btw, I had a really hard time git'n speedy back, especially from the dumbass with the sportster. :slap: :d: And what good is all of this info??? Well, none really :horse: ;D, other than fer me to just say riding other people's bikes even makes me appreciate speedy that much more. Like I said, damn, I love this bike. :lh:
