The guy who did the paint job said to me that women seem to like that "burple" color - my wife didn't appreciate that one!

The cruiser has had some major engine work, and has a lot of pull. It still won't go as fast as a bike like the V-Strom (which is still not technically a sport bike, but has a sport bike engine), which I've had up to 130 before I almost pee'd my pants. The big thing about the V-Strom, like all such bikes is the insane acceleration - it is an addictive rush

Funny thing happened last summer. I was riding Angeles Crest Highway in the mountains, and a guy on a sport bike blasted past me like a was standing still. I stopped at a roadhouse up the road several miles, and it turns out this guy was something like seventy years old!! Grandma, do you know where your hubby is today?
