    Johnny don't try an convert them, it'll just dry up the supply


    Actually One of the reasons I like the RG is the dash being farther out..

    Farts tend to go away faster on an RG, that up close dash lets um linger....

    This is the best evaluation I've read about either type of bike on this thread. Very good observations and explanation. Thanks.

    Re: Attention!!!! Attention!!!

    You always come across as the ****ing authority about everything boy and the minute someone does not agree with or says something against you, you go off.
    Grow up dude

    Yeah, bats and fixed

    It's like beer, cigars, scotch and women, the more choices for everyone,
    and everyone likes one of the other.

    I like mine all the same way... ready to pass out...

    Hey, it's a discussion forum. That's why everybody here has an opinion. My opinion is just as good as yours, but I don't like it when someone sez I'm full of s#!%. Some like black and white--some like grey.

    Yup. Ya can't be a hot head on the road. People will cut you off and some on purpose. You can try and kick their door in but you'll just end up on the pavement. I know, I've tried...:witsend:
