...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.

This is a contender for BEST NSV EVER!0

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.0

that made me smile hugely - what a great NSV!! :bigsmile:0
-
Wow, that is great. Must have made you feel like a million bucks. So did you take care of those issues? LOL0

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!0 -
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
^^ Some of us just don't ride b*tch, lol!

-
LOL, at the remark of "the pitbull ....", any ways great NSV! thanks for sharing0

I always grin when someone says "Keep the shiny side up" Never gets old. I've only been in one wreck--it was on a 600cc Honda F4. I got pushed to the shoulder and hit some gravel. Luckily, I'm a believer in leathers, full-face helmets, and carbon fiber sliders. I was mad, but uninjured.
(Here's a photo with the F4--and the look that inspired the "Pitbull-and-the-football" comment, no doubt. I need to find one of "fat me" on my cruiser and "get-out-of-a-ticket me" on my cruiser and do a side by side.)
Way to go on your weight loss! 405 - 202?!?! Dang...I hope to have that kind of success. Since I've been tracking here, I'm down 27, but that's around 110+ for the total journey. 50+ to go and I'll start to feel like I've "made it".
Keep riding, bro! 0 -

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.
LOL I hear you. I traded in a Fat Bob for it. I miss that one sometimes, but this one is a lot nicer and that 110 scoots!! Definitely a fun ride. Keep up your own goals for the weight loss. I backtracked over the holidays, it was an insane couple of months and getting back to hitting it hard again and watching what I eat.
Keep working on the drills from your safety class and those turns get better. I can almost U-turn with the fork turned until it stops. It is all practice. Very tempted to take a class from these guys though. https://www.ridelikeapro.com/ to get even better skills. Every little bit improves our chances of accident avoidance.0 -

She still rides with me sometimes, but on longer trips it is more comfortable for her to just ride hers. Heck, she sometimes uses it to commute to work.

Great NSV, great story, cool bike. I had a silver and black F4i for awhile, rode some track days on it. Miss that bike. Currently on a BMW R1200R
