|  I wimped out!
Gave my M50 to my 36 year old nephew. He is a school teacher and helicopter pilot. I bought me a new 2006 Kawasaki Mean Streak. I looked at the M109 and the Roadliner and the Softail Deluxe. The Deluxe was twice the price of a Mean Streak. The Roadliner felt like I was on a Bus. I am 5'6" and could barely touch the controls. The M109 scares the crap out of me. This is only my third year of riding and I still have of problem of showing off too much. (especially around girls). It's like I get this look-at-me syndone and bam I screw up. Therefore, Because I know me and I think I am not ready for so much power from the M109 , I chose the Mean Streak. It is very smooth! It meets all my expectations at this time. I am not trying to do burnouts because I know that's not what it's intended purpose is. I ride with smoothness and confidence because I have a Mean Streak that corners well, brakes well, and looks good. Maybe I should change the title of this post to "I got what was right for me" |
