And we always want a bigger better bike
« on: October 01, 2012, 07:08:02 PM »

i have a friend down in argentina and hes all exited about hes new ride
a honda storm
he build hes own trailer and go on a 1000 milles trip
top speed 90 kmh around 68 mph at 8500 rpms
hes having a blast on the storm,
some times i loose the perspective of all the god stuff we have in the USA and forget how it was to be dreaming with a VTX or a Wing.
lest vote OBAMA out so we can keep it that way so many more people can get their American Dream :flag:  :bikerider:

btw
Brenham municipal airport have a kick Cranberries burgers for 6.95 buks

I am following a blog of a guy that has spent the last year riding south America on a 650 suzuki. He says in SA a big bike gets you noticed but a small bike gets you IN.

I have read a few reports of guys on big bikes in south america like a bmw f800gs (not a BIG bike by our standards 800cc twin) and almost every time they stop, a crowd forms of people wanting to look a the bike, get pictures....  they get noticed a LOT
