My feelings are not hurt. I could give a flying fuck what anyone hear thinks about my bike. I bought it for me NOT for what anyone else thinks about it. I do a ton of riding on it an maybe one or two bikenites a season. That just is not my thing. Is My bike streched out....sure the fuck is! did I also ride the dragon with it like that..........Sure the fuck did! The point is most that sit at home on the PC an bash the busa have never been on one. Sitting on one at the dealership does not count!!
