I hate how quick some people are to insult and turn away new riders. It's supposed to be a lifestyle of a sort, and we should be welcoming... not turning people away. You know? It's a brotherhood. I don't care if it's stretched 15 inches or if it's an AMA track bike. We all love the same thing, despite different styles, right?
Welcome aboard Gyl!
I have an '05 Kawasaki 636 but I would love to have another flashly bike to take around town depending on my mood. I love the mountains like no ones business but there's nothing wrong with a little straight and flat through town. My last bike had everything done up in chrome and everything that wasn't chrome was polished, and it turned a lot of heads. I enjoyed that attention.
Quit being haters y'all.
