...Is this being politically correct? I hope not!



Well leonard, let's just take a look-see here and then let's decide if you're bein' "Politically Correct" or not, dude...

Quote:

...You're right about the cubic inches, most newbies and wannabes are mainly concerned with the size of their motors, or the chrome, or the image they present when pulling up at a rally. All you, or anybody riding a bike like this can do is smile and nod your head at em. It makes them feel like a real biker...You will also run into the old time bikers that have been so branded by Harley that anything else is a beginners bike, and you are just learning how to ride and are looking forward to upgrading. I really try not to laugh at em, they really take themselves seriously, and are offended easily.



Well, offhand here I'd say you're being "correct" alright there, but not neccesarily "politically" so. 'Cause if you were bein' "politically correct" then you wouldn't have stated this obvious FACT about some of our clueless fellow american motorcycle riders out there, which if they would have read your opinion of them would have hurt their little feelings, which is supposedly always "politically incorrect", right dude?! Or at the very least it would have challenged their thought processes, which I ALSO understand is very "politically incorrect" nowdays too, ya know?!

And so don't worry, you're safe! You were just being correct in the above, that's all!

Oh and BTW...I bought my BA because of it's smooooooooth linear powerband, it's extreme good looks(we're talkin' "proper proportions" here, you see), AND the fact that it's the BEST DARN HANDLING "CRUISER" in the twisties, with the MOST LEAN-ANGLE AVAILABLE before any of it's hard parts start dragin' on the friggin' tarmac out there(which reminds me...WHY EXACTLY do some folks with a friggin' 33in inseam want to LOWER THEIR BA so it'll GROUND more EASILY AGAIN???...What?! To make it "look cooler" or somethin'????!!!!) that's available on the market FOR THE PRICE! PERIOD!!!


(okay, okay...I DO have to admit that the name "Triumph" DOES carry a certain cachet with the motorcycle cognoscenti out there too...I'm not totally immune to that stuff either, ya know?!)
