No more 929.........

[ZUKIMON]

You're spot on Tig. I'm a fat lazy bastard and I need to work out but at the same time, I have a bad knee and even worse foot problems (gout is one thing that I have as well as working on concrete for the last 15 years). I simply don't have the desire to do much more than sit on the couch when I come home in the evenings as I need to put my hurting ass feet up for some comfort. I don't take what you said as offensive, I know I'm fat and lazy!

I still think the new Sportster Xr would make a great all-around bike......

Damn you....you had to post that bike.

Cool! I honestly wasn't trying to be an asshole (for once!). Well, of course it's up to you but I still think you might end up regretting it if you give it up... Hey, something that helped me was isometrics. I drive around in a truck for 6 out of 8 hours so I feel your pain. While you're laying on the couch flex your ab muscles. Um there are different types of movements you're supposed to do. You can google it, there's a TON of stuff on it.

I didn't take you for being an ass. I do need to loose some weight and I think it would help my feet out a lot. If my feet felt a little better I would be more inclined to workout a little more than I already do at work.

OK, so I searched for these bars and this is what I get:

Seems like a lot of money to spend without any guarantee that it will help me. I don't know what to do.....
I did see a cool set of grips on their site that add in a wrist relief for the throttle. May be something else to look into for me.

Wanker!!!!


I'll be there next weekend to pic her up. The 929 does have an aggressive seating position. The guy I rode with for awhile couldnt go for long.

Pm me your price.

Have you thought about a Honda 919? Or possibly the FZ1? Or even a Hayabusa or some hyperbikes like a ZX12, ZX14, CBR1100.

My CBR F3 is still one of the most comfortable bikes I have ever ridden and I daily commute that bad boy with laptop and a backpack full of books. I know you'll miss the power of the 929 though.

[ZUKIMON]

I've not thought about any other bikes, honestly. I've had this Maruader in the back of my mind since before I got the 929, but I don't think that I would be happy with one, or anything like it. You're correct.........I'd be totaly lost without having this power under my ass. It's like taking a power shit, only you're not shitting and you don't have to really clean up when you are done.

Whatever floats your boat I guess.
