Re: TRP: Felching Sucks
You obviously have never seen a 2 pecker billy goat.
By some cruel miracle of science, there are no good looking women in the town in Indiana where I always go for work. I've been there many times, I've looked, nothing.At least you're honest!
You were there for a week and didn't meet any corn-fed Hoosier women?!?
Wait, what's wrong with using "japs"?
My parents bought bikes a couple years ago, mini mid-life crisis is what I figure, started out both with jap bikes. Eventually test rode Harleys and traded that day. They said that the Harleys were so much more comfortable to ride and that they wouldn't go back to the Honda and Yamaha they had before. Except at idle, when the entire bike vibrates like a mother ****er.Plus the ride sucks on a Harley. Give me a Honda inline 4 cyl bike any day over a V twin.
Of course, not being a guy, I don't have worry about whether or not my bike is 'manly' enough.
Re: TRP: Felching Sucks
I did a project in Pecos, TX a few years back and NEVER saw a single good looking woman in that town. I do work at hospitals and there are ALWAYS a few decent looking nurses, techs, or whatever - not this hospital.
ETA: I'm going to a wedding in Indiana later in June. The son of my cousin is getting married. My cousin (father of the groom) got married in Lafayette 30+ years ago. I was reminded that better behavior is expected of all us relatives this time around.

Dad: "Wow, this thing really vibrates like hell at idle. Kind of uncomfortable."
Mom: "Ummmm, yeah.... Really, umm, annoying... or something."

I fail to see the problem here.

I never understood the hatred for sport bikes, or crotch rockets, if you will. I completely understand the hatred of a majority of their riders, but I like the bikes just fine. They are fast as hell. Easily the best bang for your buck if you want to flying through sharp turns at ridiculously high speeds, which is really effing fun.
I dont like them more than cruisers, per se, but I don't hate them either.

Re: TRP: Felching Sucks
Seriously, all the vibration did for me was make my back hurt.
But that is why I like the in-line 4cyls, very little vibration (well, until you get into illegal highway speeds, but no one here would ever go that fast. )

Um, well, there's always the problem of staying on the bike.I fail to see the problem here.

)My ex-husband and I had a long running argument/debate about crotch rockets v. cruisers. I refused to even look at cruisers, while I didn't need to get a full on crotch rocket, I would have loved to have a Honda CBR. I eventually enlisted some help from an expert (a friend who used to race in the AMA) and won. His point to my husband was, if she gets into trouble on the bike, wouldn't you rather have her on one that handles well enough to get her out of trouble? My Honda 919 handled better than even a Harley Sportster.Dad: "Wow, this thing really vibrates like hell at idle. Kind of uncomfortable."

Re: TRP: Felching Sucks
That is the other good thing. Much easier to pull an emergency manuever on a rocket.
My sister was nothing but cruisers at first. She eventually switched and rides a CBR now. Loves it. My brother in law has an R1, which is basically a death missle.

Re: TRP: Felching Sucks
Yeah, that is the one disadvantage to crotch rockets, more power than you really ever need.

Re: TRP: Felching Sucks
I never got the argument either... I mean, it's like trying to compare a Corvette or Porsche to an SUV... Two completely different animals... One was meant to be fast, sporty, and aggressive... The other was bigger, more comfortable, and better for cruising open, straight roads... But to most people, performance is secondary to the "image" of the bike... And here in America, many people want to be "badasses" on weekends... I mean, how cool is it to style one's image with trends started by gangs like the Hell's Angels
Honestly, if I were to get a bike, I would go with a crotch rocket... I am a natural speed junkie, love racing, and have no desire to ride for more than 2 hours at a time...

As for my taste in bikes, I just like the look of cruisers more, but I don't need all the extraneous chrome and such. No idea whether I'll eventually get one, but I wouldn't mind a commuting bike.

Re: TRP: Felching Sucks
Still, there is no such thing as "too much power".
I don't even need to click the link to know what that is.

Re: TRP: Felching Sucks
Well, duh - it was for the non-Mopar types.
Though, there's always this one if you're slightly less daring.

Re: TRP: Felching Sucks
I stick to vehicles with more than 2 wheels. I wouldn't trust myself riding any kind of bike. Hell, I could barely ride a bicycle when I was younger. I just switched from the bicycle to the Honda Big Red 3-wheeler when I was about 7 years old. That was really safe....Well, duh - it was for the non-Mopar types.

Re: TRP: Felching Sucks
I'm thinking that with that large of a motor the handling has got to suck.
I said, 'need' not 'want' for a specific reason. A lot of accidents I have seen on crotch rockets are due to the insane power and speed of the bikes.
Wow, that is fugly.

There's a reason the ER docs refer to crotch rocket riders as "donors."

Re: TRP: Felching Sucks
Anyways, I don't do much with bikes, and yeah, I know they're dangerously fast. My comment is mostly for what I'm familiar with, cars and trucks.
I look at it the other way. When I see a crotch rocket accident I attribute it to the stupidity of the rider. Its not that the bike is too powerful, it is that the rider decided to go too fast at the wrong time.
