what is cool?

Rate this Entry
The suns out today and alltho the morning was cold it was a great day to ride to work.
But this isn't about that......
Last august, when I got the raider, one of the other guys at work bought an 08 heritage softail and, throughout the winter he went about putting another 7000 in doodads on it. He's now up to around 29,000 and some change. I wish I could talk to him about his style choices--studs on everything including his helmet straps! And tassles hangin where they should'nt be, but hey-to each his own.
My bike on the other hand-pipes,fuel mod, sissy bar for when the old lady wants to ride-
So... He's leavin work today and I say "race ya for titles" and he replies" I'd have to get a v-rod 1st, and I think to myself yea,and learn to ride it,,, when the other harley guy there kicks in and say's " just because your bikes fast doesnt make it cool"
And not alway's quik on the retort I think... yea its about the money and the name.
If he'd of raced for titles I'd have a fast bike and one to sell to someone else who needs that kind of cool
the raider is not only cool, it is way f--n fast .........peace out t.r

    I've been riding since I was 15. Started out on dirt bikes, worked my way up to a RoadStar 1600. Had the thing modified to haul ass, and every time I rode a bigger meaner faster one, I thought - WOW!! Now I get on my Raider and thought - HOLY CRAP!! This is the definition of mean.

    If you look on the bragging rights window of our favorite raiderperformance.com site, you'll see the quarter mile times for the Raider compared to a V Rod and a few others. The Suzi' M109R is the only Factory V twin that can compete. His wasted money on a V Rod would still end up costing him a bike. He shouldn't have wasted it the first time! Do your homework in advance to make the best choice of cruiser and be happy without worring about any Penn State pigiron unless it has NOS, a blower or a turbo.
