Hey,
Been looking at the forum for a couple of weeks, really like the atmosphere and see good potential here. My hats off to the forum admin, you vendors who are taking the lead to help the riders out, and to all of you members! It's good to see the comraderie and willingness to help one another here.
I live near Hattiesburg, MS. Was at a gas station a month or so ago in Magee and saw this sweet blue bike pull in. Went over and was surprised to see that it was a stock Honda!
Sure got me interested!! The guy got it at Brookhaven Honda, so I went out there a couple of weeks later and eyeballed them.....gotta say that they really have me hooked! Haven't bought the bike yet (gonna get a black one so I can customize with paint, etc. over time) but tightened up my budget and will get a few things out of the way before December, when I will get one.....already got the wife onboard - even if she does think it is the ugliest thing she's ever seen To me, it's a real beauty....I'll get one of those buttybuddy thingys and ride her on it for 30 minutes or so a week, then take it off and then really enjoy it by myself!!
I'm 55, have had a bunch of Honda's over the years (started riding when I was 11 on an old cushman) My favorite Honda was the 305 Superhawk - great little engine with all of those bearings......my other favorite bike was a chopped Triumph 650...raked, teardrop gas tank, king and queen seats, ape hangers......the Fury kinda reminds me of that bike! Currently have an 82 650 Nighthawk that I got while I was up in DC area...was good for handling the heavy traffic up there...but way too small for down here....plus it is getting a little dated....
Guess I'll be licking my lips till December....dang hard to hold off on buying it!!! My father, a Harley man, keeps calling me and asking me if I'm ready for him to drive me to the dealer.... so I can drive the bike out of it....he smiles and calls the fury a preying mantis....kinda does look like one from the back angle....:cool
I'll quit rambling and start enjoying ya'lls posts! Good to be here,
Bob
