I wonder what it feels like to ride with such an enormous front wheel. It's like a penny farthing with an engine.

Apparently there is an airbag in the rear, so you can raise it 6" or so. I'm sure it rides like a turd, but at least it can do something

As far as "really expensive custom harleys you can never actually ride" go, that's the best looking one I've ever seen. I like all the custom work they had to do to get that wheel to work, and I like how the bags look with the LED lighting. The paint job is kinda dumb, but even that's better than the dumb flames or tribal stuff that typically goes on those.

Sonofabitch, I drove by there every week to get groceries when I was in college and totally forgot to stop every single time.

Nah, wasn't open. There are like three buildings. It's definitely worth a stop and peak through the windows. Note that all the cool 80s stuff is in a separate building maybe half a block down the street.

It feels like complete poo poo. You can really see the difference if you ride (and especially if you push around a parking lot) at low speed two big twin Harleys, one with a regular fat rear end wide front tire like from the touring models, and one with a massive narrow 80/90-21 dumbass chopper wheel. The tall thin tire handles like rear end and is really annoying.

I mean, let's be real, we ARE talking about a buncha squids. If the truck wrecked into the front guy, every single one of them would have target fixated, grabbed a shitton of brake, and smashed into the initial wreck. At least they're aware of how lovely their emergency skills are :v:

Devil's advocate: Motorcycles ARE traffic. It would be like the truck getting pissed at all the cars in the way and wanting to go around? I don't think the motorcycles were going slower than traffic in this case.

Yeah but it's kinda the done thing to not take up all three lanes if you're only doing the limit and the road isn't particularly congested, y'know? Then again it's also not done to signal your intent to pass by driving right up the butt of the guy in front, so :shrug: I guess everyone's a dick this time

e/ I kind of want to see what it would look like if it was that truck from the end of mythbusters
