Talking hmm...

Wait a minute...

*squints, scratches his chin, then accepts glasses*

Why what in taaaarnation! Rackenfracken hackensack! Those varmits down at the honda plant are trying to make a fool of me, getting me to cross those lines!

Bah well, looks enough like a hog to me. Perhaps that's why my dad wont let me ride his B^P. Anyways, although I dont know much about motorcycles, I do know that I prefer harleys laid-back riding style to the RACING STYLE bikes. Which is what I meant. So there. ::cough:: I'm gonna sign out now and get back to work on that bumpersticker...

The Honda Valkyrie is about as laid back as you can get. But don't let the looks fool you. It is a 1500cc, 6 cylinder, 6 carb into six pipes monster. It's got 104 horses (1997 model). This bike weighs 800 lbs. It won't pull a wheelie but it will smoke the tire from a standing start.
It's also very smooth. My brother showed me just how smooth. He will balance a nickel on the engine and than start the engine. The Nickel stays upright. He will gradually increase the rpm's. The Nickel won't fall over till he gets to about 8000 rpm. That's smooth.
Not putting Harley's down, but I don't think even gluing the Nickel down will keep it from falling over.

Wink Yea...

I was always under the impression that if the harley wasnt giving you a numb butt, you werent getting your money's worth... B^P. Besides, who wants smooth when you can wake your neighborhood with a minute bit of acceleration.
