Ahhhhh yes....I have seen it ....and (from my perspective) it is... as I said... a beautiful SHORT distance bike. :roll: ...like most choppers...not all ...but most (again ...from my perspective). I go to the cycle rally's and I find a place out back to park so I don't appear to be showing my bike off

...all the while knowing that in a short time... it will... and does draw the crowd. I try to withhold my braggadotio altho it is sometimes tough... because just like being the toughest guy on the block...it only lasts till someone tougher comes by :shock: ... My bike is not the fastest...hell some some small crotch rockets can blow it away.... but it is in my eyes the classiest.... oh and there is enough power to sneak by the old pickup trucks on the road.
Yes, the short distance from phoenix to sturgis and back. I know guys who ride these, they don't just hop to the store and back.
From your response I take it your answer is no, so you are just going by perception, that's ok.
The latter bike I was talking about was mine, not the chopper, though I am getting a bourget chopper next spring. It's not about who is the toughest on the block, it's about perceptions, how one thinks something is until they try it and find out what they thought was wrong. That is what happened to me when I first rode one of these. I am already the "toughest" on the block, though not necessarily in my "group", I straddle a chevy small block 350, cammed, on two wheels, so I don't need to make a statement with a chopper. I like the way it looks and the way it rides.
Want to sell my Boss and try a GW. Sound's weird but I'm not much into the attention the boss gets, though I do flaunt it once in a while. I want to just get on and ride, if I have to stop I want it to be short, am tired of answering all the questions it brings up. The GW will be for my wife, the chopper for me. "Her" bike will be the one we ride together on longer distances.
