cant offroad with those tires and a sly comment about the cost of replacement if one hits a pothole.
Uncomfortable seats

Yes, but "it's an impressive-looking boulevard cruiser" That makes it all worth while, doesn't it? You might even be able to impress the neighbour with his Hummer 1.  :rofl2:

"Perhaps the seats are heavenly if you get into them after vibrating for a few hours on a Harley, but I found them very disappointing."  ;D she gets some good quips in there. I'm sure they will sell a ton (more) around here to stock option rich, middle age, red necks.

It's obvious the guy in the flea-market sunglasses doesn't own an Enzo, but people might think I have a Sportster at home in the garage."


Image is everything I guess.  ::)

Harleys and tattoos....

What are two things that are "cool" right now that everyone wants but won't be able to get rid of in 5 years, Alex?
