    Smile Proud of my bike!

    Today I went to the Whittier fun center which is my closest Honyamawi dealer. Just stopped by for plugs so I went strait to the back counter. On my way out I seen who I think was an owner and a salesmen. the salesmen was sitting on a vn900 classic. as I walked by the owner asked me "is that your blue bike" so I said "ya". So he asks "what is it" so I tell him "its a vulcan" and he says "REALLY" in disbelief And asks "a 900?". then him and the salesmen gave me a bunch of compliments on my pipes and the black out and commented that theyve seen me cruising around alot and they really like the sound. Just made me feel all warm and fuzzy to have the dealer give me props like that and felt good to know the little things I do to make the bike mine and only mine are appreciated by more than just me.
    My mom told me, "If you cant get yourself a ten the least you could do is score five twos'.

    Bikers feel proud, not warm and fuzzy. Warm and fuzzy is like a little girl cooing. You're a proud biker, you're bike is bad a s s, kicks a s s, and attracts a s s. End of story.

    Heck yeah it feels great. I love my 900 and have put alot of effort into malking it the bad A$$ machine she is now. Its kinda validating when other bikers give up the props.

    If the man wants to feel warm and fuzzy, who are we to come between him and his bad4$$ fluffy novelty house slippers?

    Good on you, VA, you go ahead and feel warm and fuzzy if you want to.

    I had a guy in a parking lot ask me if my bike was an 800.
    i was blown away, most people have no idea what make my bike is let alone model. i told him yes. he said it sounded great and really liked the look I'm going for. he said he was thinking about buying an 800 and I told him either the 800 or 900 were bullet proof and fantastic to own. He said after seeing mine he thought he'd go with the 800. I was very warm and very fuzzy
