Still not a cruiser I would want to own, but I would certainly enjoy one ride as you describe.

That ain't right, on so many levels... Does it have power steering?

Yeah, MS, me too, but I think we'd have to opt for the low seat option. :)

I have not been to Sturgis so I don't know, I may find it's a whole bunch of mature adults making wise choices and having great amounts of considerate behavior. That's not my suspicion. My suspicion is that the crowd there would respond to that bike favorably. They may appreciate the wacky excess. Either that, or they would finally realize they all have tiny penises.

I was thinking of some of those Sammy Davis or Elton John platforms.

This is not where I would put my money.

It does appear to have a small penis engine for its size.

I think it's just the minimal finning making it look smaller.

But, I get your point. After all, it is black. You'd think it would be bigger....


Still, they are 3364cc cylinders, for a total displacement of 6728cc, so I think the finning point is valid as well.

Yeah. They pretty much shout it from the rooftops and how could they do that if they didn't realize it in the first place? It is not uncommon for people in my shop to comment when the loud bikes go by and they often comment, in one way or another, about this topic. No one has ever commented to the contrary, though, when a Prius motors by.
