I love this one. I had a related one. I took my class sometime back and went down to the DPS office to take the written test and get it added to my license. The lady at the counter said I absolutely had to get a new picture because I had lost so much weight and definitely looked different.

I ride a 2012 Harley CVO Softail Convertible and my wife rides a 2006 Fat Boy. Yes, she has her own bike. Kind of cool, isn't it?

Keep the shiny side up.

Nice, man! Great work on the weight -loss. And duuuuuuuuuuuuude...I covet your bike! Haha:) Some day, some day...gotta keep paying for the kids. When they grow up and move out, dad is getting a Harley.

That's very cool! Acknowledgement like that isn't expected from a cop by a fellow rider like me. And no, my wife doesn't ride her own bike, she sits on the back where she belongs

Maybe the greatest NSV I've ever read and that's no lie!

It's exactly because of situations like this that I like the fact that Pennsylvania doesn't list your weight on your license. That is far too easy to fluctuate!

...my friend commented that a fat guy on a bullet bike looks like a pitbull trying to hump a football.

Ha aha ha haaa!
I love that description! I have to steal it. Your friend, sir, is a genius.

I have a street glide and I participate on a motorcycle forum. I've got to share this story with those folks. Great job OP! And ride safe.

Wow, that is great. Must have made you feel like a million bucks. So did you take care of those issues? LOL

I've noticed that my Yamaha Stratoliner seems to have picked up a couple of horsepower since I've lost a whole freaking person!

Haha. Right!? We forget these bikes have a suggested load of around 500 (I know it varies, but still...) and that at our heaviest selves, we might not be able to add a passenger without severely affecting our bikes' acceleration. Nice to lose weight and allow the motor to move my bike...not my bulk. Haha. Congratulations to you for "re-allocating" some of your horsepower.

I do drill team and obstacle courses as part of my unit at Shriners Conventions. I've noticed a BIIIIG difference in my abilities from last year. I can hoss myself around a lot better on tight turns and the bike jumps out on the straight aways giving me better times.

To the OP- Happy for you, brother.

Thanks bro. Happy for you too and envious of your motorcycle past-time. I only know how to ride in a straight line...haha:) Keep on riding!

Nice!!!

I'm a rider too, previously 450, now 202!!! I ride a Shadow 750 ACE (77,000 all-mine miles), and a Honda GoldWing (when riding 2-up with the wife.) :-)

Keep the shiny-side up, dude!

Pretty cool NSV, congrats on the awesome loss!

That's very cool! Acknowledgement like that isn't expected from a cop by a fellow rider like me. And no, my wife doesn't ride her own bike, she sits on the back where she belongs
