Now really guys,...does that sound the least bit gay to you?.... confused

whistle whistle...........


.....The review forgot to include the gay guys. That`s discrimination! I`m disappointed!


I thought the last three sentences just about coverd all the bases!.... grin
.......I didn`t see the word "gay" though. Perhaps a few in the crowd.


Perhaps!..... grin

I still think they are kinda neat and since I can't safely ride a 2 wheeler they are up for consideration with the Harley Trike and The Valky trike I looked at today. Need to go to Ft. Myers for a first hand look one of these days.

The one thing about all these new "cruisers" is all the toys I don't need or want, gonna have to check out "stripped down" models if there are any. Don't need an intercom, surround sound stereo, fancy chrome, enough storage for a modern kitchen, CB/FRC radio and on & on.

Open air fun with motorcycle sensibilities equals the KTM X-Bow or the Ariel Atom to me.

There is of course that old, but spectacular, standby, the Caterham (Lotus) 7.

That is because you ignorant as to how it began or maybe just ignorant period.


Let me guess, a homosexual on a motorcycle headed north waved at another homosexual on a motorcycle headed south and a trend was set?!..


So I am guessing you will be at Sturgis this year to tell all the Bikers in the Saloons how gay they look when they wave at each other.I mean if you had a set and thats how you felt,I should expect you there .

I am waiting for the day that they start reporting that inexperienced riders are getting thrown off of them becouse they do not know how to handle them going fast around a corner.

They look scary to me

..............Well Good! Because I wasn`t trying to be cool and frankly don`t give a rip that I failed miserably by your estimation.

Besides, it wasn`t by my wind which created that long post. And you could always be somewhat creative and use that round circular device attached to your mouse to either ignore that long post or maybe even choose not to read it??.... grin


No need. I'm not bothered by it. But you were obviously expounding on how great these machines are. You just coated it with sarcasm.

here we gooooooooo! Be Prepared. How appropriate! Especially, here.

Bubba, I don't see this crew being into much more than the below kind of junk. Having said that I bet there are 50+ can-am owners from here within the year.
