Last Sat. night we were in conway and walking back to the motel we went right by a truck accessories place where they do installs. At the time I didn't make the connection but talking today I did.
Was late and there was one truck in there getting a lift kit put on from the looks of it. Two guys in there and one big v-twin in the lot out side. I didn't catch the brand bike but the seat was just about at knee level.
Apparently both fellows are the type who like poor handling vehicles. At 35mph in a tight turn the truck is going to tip over and the bike will not be able to lean and will run off the twisty road!
A couple months ago there was an ad on craigs list and I would have headed out immediately with my check book except the bike had been lowered and made into a hard tail. Really good price on a naked goldwing and all maintenance done properly. (new belts, battery, tires, paint, seats, and chrome) No telling if it could ever be returned to normal shocks, probably welded swing arm.

Yeah i think it's a hoot,,i'd be grinding the pegs off the bike in a 1/2 hour,,,,see them here in socal all the time,,,and pass them in the canyons too,,,,all the time,,,two up which makes it even worse,,so they're fighting the bars trying to wrestle this 1000 lb behemouth thru the canyon with the 1400cc+ engine and i blast by them on the vespa doing respectable speed and they probably wonder whats wrong with this picture,,,,you know the old saying,,"youth is wasted on the young"
