| | Re: I saw you... Saw another today at noon, a 24" black cruiser frame cut with a rake, offroad handlebars and a chinese two stroke. Eastbound on Ruthraff Road and La Cholla. A dude, no helmet turned south. Heard one in that intersection on Friday night. I was waiting at the red light, it came by my truck window when I saw him, no light, no reflectors and dark clothes. I couldn't tell what kind of bike or what the rider was except he was probably  soon to be known as the"Dearly Departed"

| | Re: I saw you... Tucson: I saw a lady last night with a red cruiser 2-stroke china motor and a basket in the front. She was going East on St. Mary's just East of SilverBell in front of the Safeway.
This lady had a bunch of that red & white reflector tape all over her bike, it really stood out. |

| | Re: I saw you... Wow! Edge you've seen 9 in a town of 33,000. That's a good MB to human ratio. I was on 4th Ave yesterday and saw a Spooky Tooth sticker on the front of an electric bike, locked up. Today at about 11:30 I saw a 26 inch cruiser 2 stroke with ape hangers as he went north on Main crossing Speedway Blvd.

| | Re: I saw you... I saw a guy with a lawnmower engine on a cruiser bike up in the Santa Cruz Mountains on Empire Grade. The bike was already strapped to his Mercedes Benz station wagon. I stopped to say hello and the guy jumped in his car and put a towel on his driverside window. I rode off thinking "WOW this guy is definitely one strange individual. 
I forgot to mention he had a sticker from the other forum on his gastank.
