Had to smile this weekend at a Show and Shine get together watching tattoo'd badasses hauling their $100,000+ customs out of the trailers and then riding it 100 ft, get off and break out the ArmourAll spray in unison like a bunch of pansies to clean up the road grime. I have more respect for the guy that rode a moped covered in bumper stickers 50+ km than any of those wanna be hereos.

I wonder why nobody builds a motorcycle with a giant 1100cc air-cooled single cylinder engine. Must be something about compression and heat or some other engineering mumbo-jumbo. Anyway, I want that 139ci engine and I want it bolted to a heavy bent tube frame with a wheelbase in excess of 64-inches so it waddles like a pig in the turns. And chopper forks... can we add chopper forks? Just having some fun you guys (smile). I want that 139ci engine they make… it’s like two giant 1100cc single cylinders slapped together!

S&S had a nice small business for a long time and then grew it feed the monster. Let's see how successful they are at shrinking it to a sustainable level, few managers can complete that trick.
