Going down the road paying special attenuation to the rodeo [the gutter].To see a car go by with 4 or 5 kids pasted faces on the rear window, and then only to catch up with them at the next light!

I had a few people going 20 in a 35 four lane road just to get a good look at the bike. One person even went around the block to get several pictures of the bike in action.

I road up through a drive through. The attendant said "We aren't allowed to serve you unless your in a car." That's when I gave it the gas. and she went "Whoa! Ok, I guess I CAN serve you." She gave me a big smile and passed me my ice cold coke. :-) We both had a good laughed.

I like riding around the park when their are baseball, and soccer games people all ways turn around and look and the kids all ways pointing and trying to get closer, but i am usually going really fast. I go around a few times the best is when people stop you and ask questions. I live in southern michigan southgate area not that many MB's around here.

Heck yeah I love the look. I have people of all ages and types jaws on the floor, scratching their heads going did I just see what I thought I saw? Most people think that I ordered mine from a factory. When I say it's custom and I built it all, some think I'm lying. Others are like that is the coolest thing ever. Anyone who does have anything bad to say, changes their colors real quick when I tell them about gas mileage. People always wanna buy mine, No way Jose! as much time and money I've put into mine. I would't accept anything less than $1500 for it and in this economic decline only a crazy person would pay me that much. I'll gladly build them for people though if they pay me

I like it as long as they're people I don't know. What I like best is riding past Amish people on my motorbike, I think it makes them jealous.

That may be because it cost money to make them legal in michigan.

Oh YEAH! The Amish always smile and wave when you pass them by. Just watch out for the special layer of road obstructions that their vehicles leave behind!

Just finished my 2hr ride from to my parents place. Plenty of THAT look. Espically since I was on back roads with plenty of junior sports leagues going on.

My new spedo also does average speed. 22.5mph over the 2hr ride used less than 1/4 tank of gas. woohoo!
