I'd go, but I'm busy Sunday at 4:00. Have fun, though.

Where am I defending her? Your post made me laugh, though.

Don't motorcycles ALREADY get great gas mileage compared to cars?

lol. Sitting at Iron Pony yesterday, I checked out the Vespas there. Those things are crazy expensive for what you get. I figured they'd be around $1-1.5K, not $5,000... She might go for that. She does like a scooter. I could even give her an OR sticker for it.

What's wrong with trusting me with her life? She's trusted me with a lot of other things. lol.

Damn.. I can't argue with the logic.

Plus, it will make us all feel warm and fuzzy.

Some of us didn't know what was going on, and just went home afterwards, only to be questioned about it later.

Already PM'd.

Great ideas, guys. Now, maybe if she weren't about 20 times out of my league, then I'd try that. She is, though, and I'm not willing to give up on that. You wouldn't, either. She said she might right with me to dinner for taco Tuesday. We'll see.

Interested. I have some family who lives 45 min to an hour inside Michigan, right off of 75, so that'd be good. What is "$700ish" as far as to get a good deal for me, and get it out of his garage?

That's what I was thinking. I'd never seen rear seats in any Corvette, but hey.

Hmm... This could save the cbr for sure...

Hmm, not a bad idea...

Yeah, well I could tell you all about my pimp strength, as well as her sammich making abilities, but she sometimes stalks me on here, so I won't.

Add to that, the fact that she's Asian... But, she's not the thong and tramp stamp kinda girl, so...

It's not physical comfort she's concerned with. She's seen one too many squid on a sportbike riding a wheelie down the road, and is just convinced that she'll A)go flying off the back when I take off at breakneck speeds from a standstill, or B)The rear seat will snap off, since there's nothing under it supporting her.

I'm attempting once more (maybe twice) to get my girlfriend on the back of the cbr. If she doesn't go for it, I may have to think about getting a slightly more passenger friendly bike. I do love the cbr, way more than the Harley I had before it, but I'd rather have a bike that she's not scared to hop on the back of and ride to dinner. I guess at this point, it's just a matter of priorities, and having a bike we can both enjoy, however infrequently it may be, just kinda trumps a bike that I love, and she resents. Any advice on convincing her that a cbr is just as comfortable for the 3 miles at a time that she rides? 3 miles isn't an exaggeration, either. Her longest ride on the Harley was about 5. She likes it, and has made many comments about how she misses it, but isn't comfortable on the cbr, even when it's not moving.

Alright, good luck with the breaks, then.

Lol... You do realize that the thingies that make the bike not go no mo are called BRAKES, right? Not to be confused with break, which is what happens when something doesn't work anymore. ie: If you're riding down the highway at 70mph, and you abruptly grab the front BRAKES in the middle of a sharp curve, you'll very likely BREAK something expensive. See the difference?

Wanna trade seats?

In all honesty, this is more of a 2.5 page thread on it, followed by 8.5 pages of
