Greg, that's why the ST's have saddlebags. Need some place to carry the donuts to snack on while you wait for the Victories to catch up.

True. It's just that the Victorys have more strengths and less weaknesses than the others.

If I had a helmet the size of a baseball I could fit quite a few in my Vic.

My windshield works were it's mounted. No need to keep moving it..

Brad, with logic like that guiding your life and actions...I conclude that you then never had children.

You're right...happened because your previous statement was WRONG! You envy our movable windscreens and it keeps you up at night wishing you had one too.

But you don't do you? No sir, your helmet is bigger than a watermelon. I think you keep it in your garage because it won't fit through the door.

what I find interesting is all of our gentlemen "enthusiast" trolling on the greatest forum known to man. Must not be much going on on their "better" bike forums!

You are right but after you get to know a lot of these people for many years it's much more fun. And all in good fun among friends. Would be hard to do that with total strangers.

That's where you'd be wrong. There is a lot more activity on the HD forums, I just don't have any friends on any of them.
