Default Fury thumbs up and Hi 5's!

Ive read here about all the comments about how people compliment our Furys...It aint no shit!!! I mean, I think the chopper look is cooler than all the big bike looks anyways, but thats just how I think...All the bikes have their own appeal to all of us....But, when I go out, I got people in trucks and cars giving me "Thumbs Up" ! Sometimes literally hangin' out the windows!..Honest!!...And in Parkin' lots, people are Thumbs up, and power fists and yelling "Cool bike!"...And at nite, when I turn on the blue leds, theres yelling and gawkin' from every place! and other than the Leds and cobra slip ons, its all stock so far!....Sure it does!! I mean, it does make me have a big head!....But, what I really like is that there are tons of people who DONT think "Choppers" are dead! And, of course.....The posture the Fury puts you into!...Now how cool is that!!!And, unlike some people think, it FEELS GOOD!!!
Yeh, mannn....Furys are cool!
your friend,
john

Default "The" Fury

I get alot of compliments too... So much so, I've even got a routine on how to answer. I work in/for the Public, thus my Bike is in the Public eye while I'm at work. Here is a very, very common conversation.

Public:"Who's Bike is that outside?"
Mine.
Public:"where'd you get it?"
Altus (Town of the Local Honda Dealer)
Public:"Did you build the tank like that or did you buy it that way?"
The tank? Oh it's Stock.
Public:"That's Stock?"
Yes.
Public:"Who made/makes it?"
Honda
Public: "Honda?!?!?!? your sh*tting me!?!?!? Damn. How much does it cost, 20-25k?"
Nah, the list on it is 13-14k, depending on whether you want ABS or not.
Public: "Wow, Honda or not... nice bike, I like really like it."
Thanks.

lmao--Hope you enjoyed my "routine". I have this 'convo'... at least once a day, everyday I ride my bike to work. Also I might add... when I tell them it's a Honda, they have a look of disbelief on their face and they try and get a better look at the bike. They all do it, everytime! lol

It's all part of the Fury experience! Honda sure hit it out of the park with our bikes.

3 hrs after buying my FURY I enetered it in the local bike show and took 1st place.
Bone stock with the stickers and reflectors still on it.
NO ONE could figure out what it was until they looked close and saw the Honda logo's. It was awesome.
Since doing all of my mods I have place 1st or 2nd in all but 1 show that I enetered. ( 11 trophies ) +
And I got one BEST IN SHOW! Love my FURY!

It never gets old and I also love telling them, "Would you believe it's a Honda?" Jaw drops are so palpable!

Denise and I headed back home Sat night from RibFest this past weekend. As we approached the bike, I flipped on the orange LEDs to get that part out of the way. Two guys walking the same direction stopped dead in their tracks and asked if they could take photos of my bike.

The Fury is a work of art!

I'm getting the same "Thumbs Up out the windows" at least 3 times per day on my riding days. I'm pretty sure I'll have even more when I finish my project and install 8* trees and new exhaust.

I always crack up when guys come up to me and say nice Harley. The look on their face when I say it's a Honda is priceless.
