Assembly Line Custom
- From: CromagnaMan
-
Description:
This is a very sweet custom motorcycle, yes? Actually, no. Some young ... scarred knuckled ... greasy fingered ... bike loving gentleman never worked on this bike ... or sweated out getting the exhausts tuned or getting the handle bars at "just the right angle" or anything. It came off an assembly line. Granted, it came off a high priced assembly line, but no true lover of cycles ever sweated blood and tears over this machine. A well to do man put in an order for it ... told the company what kind of motor he wanted, what kind of tires he wanted, what kind of wheels he wanted, what he wanted as far as a color scheme for a paint job and the whole ball of wax. Once the order was all written up, this sweet machine came off on an assembly line. "Custom made" without the "Custom".
Somehow, this all seems like cheating to me. Because some yo-yo has the big bucks, he can put in an order, ("do you want pies and fries with that sir?"), and "WHAM! BAM! PRESTO!" ... he's made into an instant "biker". He hauls this beautiful machine to the rally, (Panama City's "Thunder Beach" in this case), unloads it, and rides it "triumphantly into town" from his five star hotel room. After a weekend of bedding beautiful women and getting drunk at high priced bars, he rides it triumphantly back to the trailer, hauls it back home, and there it will sit in an air conditioned garage for the next bike rally six or seven month from now. The motor will never be fired up. It will never be loved. It's just a prized possession.
How do I know all this? Because I asked the owner when I stopped at a gas station to fill my tank and quench my parched throat from the long ride over.
Pathetic!
Give me my muchly used and lovingly customized Magna with 24,163.0 miles on it ANYDAY compared to this shining sparkling bike with barely 500 miles on it. I did ALL the work on my Magna and my Intruder myself ... every barfed knuckle, every scraped and cut finger, every tear of frustration on every rusted bolt was earned and appreciated. My bikes may not look as nice as this one ... but they are certainly loved more!

trip to Mrtyle Beach
- From: redneck88

Description:
went to the fall rally in SC.It was great never been to one and went with a great bunch of guys. Learned alot about ridin with a group. And how much fun it is to ride with a group. I was the new guy so it seem I was gettin told alot of BS but they all meant well. (guess it did not help was the only female.)
the ride down was great had a beautiful day. left at 730 am and got there around 1130am. We of course made the rounds to the bars and ended up at the Iron Gate and started enjoyin ourseleves. thing is we were suppose to ride back that evening. That didn't happen ended up callin home and tryin to explain we were spendin the night. Safety first right...no sense in doin some thing stupid like ridin tired and buzzed.
After we found a place to stay and some dinner, We decieded to go to the suckbangblow. (yes thats really is the name)It was awsome had a burnout pit and wild people. they had a kick ass band coveriing one of my favorite groups AC/DC. they were kickin and I was jammin even got on the stage and danced.My buds had to drag me out around 130am. I wanted to stay and party but the group was ready to go and well I was a passenger at this point so you go when your ride goes.made it back to our rooms and of course had few more and checked out the bike in the lot. It was aroound 300am when I got to bed.
Was up at 600am for some reason and so was a few others. So we packed up and hit the road home. It was sunny but cold. I wished it was like the morning before but it wasn't Hung over and cold not the best way to ride. things were goin good besides the cold thing we all just want to get home. This is were things got interestin for me and guess everyone else to.
crruising along right behind the lead bike and one of the guys come flyin by us and turns in this little chruch drive. the lead bike waved me on to turn in to the drive. well guess I didn't slow enough and turned a little too sharp and mt floorboard rubbed the ground which scared the crape out of me. My handlebars just missed a palm by inches and a brick sign then went through the grass legs flyin every direction and stopped my bike about 10 feet from a row of tombstones. I throw down my kickstand and jump off the bike and just stood there.I look around and all my buds are just starin at me.Took a few deep breaths and got back on my bike.THey all asked if I was ok said yea lets ride. Well started my bike and put it in gear and was set to go...well what do I do pop the clutch and drop my bike at a dead stop. About 3 guys jump off there bike to help and I tell them to get there butts back on there bike I dropped it I pick it up and I did and once again they asked me if I was ready to go and I told them give me a minute this time. got back on the road in few and was fine but earned me a new nickname TOMBSTONE.
So my trip was not boring in the least. and once again I learned some thing. well many things but most of all slow down when turnin lol... If you can't laugh at your self what can you laugh at. So RIDE ON AND BE SAFE

Its the Front of the Back
- From: Englissh
-
Description:
Each to his own, when you see fifty front ends flashed up in front of you in quick succession they all seem to look alike, admit it when you go to a rally and the wet teeshirt part comes on who looks at the name or number the first time round, its when it has caught your eye you slow down and look at other aspects, this is the same I am now looking closer!
