Ok, now that I've put this fairing on I keep getting people asking if my bike is a Ducati. I don't mind that as much as back when they thought it was a Buell, but the downside now is that the cruiser crowd seems to be turning it's collective nose up at it assuming I'm a squid because I've got a fairing.
So, today over lunch I was riding along to Autozone and the opposite way come two 1050 Speed Triples! I turn around and follow them. Both aren't wearing helmets, one has a Buell backpack and a custom license plate which essentially says Punisher, and he's got a cut little punisher sticker on his plastic tag tail thingy the 1050's have. I roll up behind them at a stop light and they totally ignore me. I don't know if it was the helmet or the fairing, but this annoyed me. SO, as we get rolling I whipped past and ripped open my nice new and LOUD uncorked Zard as I pass them. Hopefully, they weren't total twats and couldn't recognize my bike from the side or rear.
Anyone else have this experience with people on Triumphs?
