wow, allot of ignorance and one sided opinion in that "article" if you can call it that. There were a couple of points in there that have "some" truth to them like removing one of the front brake rotors to show off the rim having a negative effect on braking. Overall though the author is full of it and there is a underlying factor for his negativity that I'm not sure of.

What a nut job. I was particularly interested in part of comment 40:
"Removing pounds increases cubic inches and power output relatively speaking."

So-if I lose 100 pounds does that make my 1700 an 1800? LOL

Man, I've never read such a putdown. Sounds a little obsessive and one-sided - a negative bagger manifesto

**cnc** · 11-10-2013, 08:23 AM

I read about half of it and got bored, but I can't help but wonder how many more millionaires there would be in this world if the Bagger was never invented.

I lost interest 1/2 to 2/3 through it. He started to repeat himself. he has to much time on his hands

**crazygene49** · 11-10-2013, 09:14 AM

I poked around his website and came to the conclusion that the guy is a wacko.

**markclark57** · 11-10-2013, 11:39 AM

He was just voicing his wife's reasoning for him to never own a motorcycle. (or any non-necessity item that may result in FUN)

OR, he has a one of a kind Bagger and his wife has served him with papers and wants to make sure her lawyer goes after other stuff.

Read to #20, had to stop..such whining and crap. Ya know what they say about opinions and Ass#@*&s... every body has one!!!!!!!!!!

**HwyRider** · 11-10-2013, 01:39 PM

Under his advice column he says not to trust the BBB because they ruled against him 3 times but 2 paragraphs down he says to trust them. Most of his writing is the same. He praises something and then condemns it or vice versa.

Of course it's legitimate. It's on the internet.
