Whoa, that looks pretty cool!!!
We need details though, you know, what the hell is it? What's the engine make, size, etc?
Oh, yeah, maybe you need a new thread for this bike, all my dumb questions, and your postings of wheelies and burnouts and stuff.

RE: The Completely Pointless Thread II - Biker Dude - 05-31-2015

It's a Honda Fury, engine is 1300cc. It is a 2013, but new, complete with warrantee. It was still in the packing crate up until about 2 hours before my ride.

This is how many miles it had when I took it out for the test. Plus I got to make the first sales kid cry. I started by asking his asking price and he quoted me what the '15's are going for. I said 'been on the inventory for 2 years and you start at sticker?' then he told me I could test ride after qualifying. I told him the ride happens first. Nobody pulls my credit until I know I want it. He went and got his GM. We ended up dealing solely with the GM. As a bonus, when they pulled my credit it came back as 796. It's bone stock for right now, but maybe an exhaust change would be in the offing, and some bags if I can find some that look good on it.

I never really considered a thread of it's own, mostly because I figured who would really care that much about what I am doing with it?

RE: The Completely Pointless Thread II - Twitchin Kitten - 05-31-2015

Seriously? None of us care? Pfft!

Yes we do. I'm splitting this off to a new thread and we will carry on.

OK now that that's done, what kind of saddle bags do you want? Hard bags or throw over bags? I personally like the throw over type because I can take them off easily and haul them around if necessary. I also like them to be leather and not pleather. I saved a shitload of money buying mine at an equine supply house Smile

I really don't pay attention to new bikes and stuff out on the market, I thought for sure it was custom.

The other day a guy at work shows me one of these on his phone and was talking about how cool they are. I asked if he could get one in the same color as his purse.Hysterical

I just happened to notice the lack of bumper stickers on that new Honda. Let's see what we can do about that eh?Wink

RE: New Purchase - Biker Dude - 05-31-2015

These guys sell those too. The GM told us there are the #3 dealer world wide on them. Saw this little beauty there, it was sold before the end of the day.

25k, with a 1500 delivery charge. This one was a Limited Edition. He says they don't deal at all on them, they will take your money and then say 'Youre welcome' to you. They look like fun, and I am sure they get a lot of attention, but I don't know that I would go that route instead of a bike.

The bike felt like a quick decision, and a ridiculous luxury. My girlfriend pointed out that four years ago we were in that same dealership and I was sitting on a blue one. Maybe thinking about it for 5 years isn't TOO quick of a decision...

I have to re-arrange the garage some. I got it in last night, but it is tight. Three motorcycles and a Mustang in an oversized one-car.

You know, I am not sure. Color matched hard sides? Leather throw overs? Not a fan of pleather or the fake leather hard sides. I had those on a shadow, worked good on it, don't think they will fit this one.

Bags, probably a new exhaust. The whole tail light is ripe for a major change. I am thinking single tail light with integrated turn signals, and move the plate to the side of the bike. I'll post a picture of the back, that one was just a quick cell phone pic. To be honest I haven't even shopped mods yet.
