nope, but it's early. I don't think he whores on the board like we do...

best case, I can go in tuesday with a large piece of pipe and place an order.

Fixed! 

[teddy037.2]

heh. no need for that.

I have thought about it while in some whisky, and I'm fine w/it.

I just kind of want to get it over w/.

[DRKWNG]

Yea, I know.  I was just inserting a few bits of senseless violence for the sheer principle of the matter.  This thread is too pc. 

[teddy037.2]

I could lend myself to some discussion about the ruckus being brought if it were the dealership's fault.

which it isn't, so...

[DRKWNG]

Yea, I hear you.  I would be raising hell as well if that were the case.  But Will did point it out to you prior, so...  Just sucks that the dice rolled this way after you waited so long for it.

[teddy037.2]

yup.

[teddy037.2]

so, after taking a spin on ye ole'maxy, I have these first impressions:

very good suspension/brakes... 4 piston nissins, IIRC. considering the bulk of it, she could scrub off the speed like no harley I've ridden, and w/o the front end diving on me.

ergos were nice, very standard seating pos'n, mid-sets, clutch pull was quite heavy (vs. stock coffins or the goldlines/evo slave I got now)

you have to kind of wrestle her on initial turn-in, but otherwise corners well.  hasty throttle on exits lends to a squirrely front end, so I learned quick not to do so.

straight line... wowee was that ever fun.  it certainly didn't feel crotch rocket quick, but the sensation of acceleration on that bike reminded me of when you see the Enterprise jump to warp speed. like the bike sucks you in and stretches you out, if that makes any sense.

it needs louder pipes and some drag bars.  but I'd definitely have one as my cruiser bike.



oh, and charlie really liked the duc. 

[DRKWNG]

Mmmmmmm beer. 

[teddy037.2]

*sigh* I could use a drink.

wait! I've got bitburger! hooray leftovers!

[DRKWNG]

lol  I still have a few pipelines that I fear will not last the afternoon. 

[teddy037.2]

jebus tristos bestowed some pipeline upon me, I'm trying to make it last...

[DRKWNG]

I know.  The few that I have left are the remnants from the case I bought before you guys came over that day and worked over my pipe. 

So how wrong did that sound? 

[teddy037.2]

I don't see anything wrong w/it
