Hyper Demo Ride

It was a few months ago but I was lucky enough at the Long Beach motorcycle show to get to demo one of these bad boys and finally decided to write about it. See here: http://2wheels2nuts.blogspot.com/

Thanks guys. One thing I left out of the write up was that when I got home and showed my girlfriend the pictures of the bike, she kinda scorned the bike and gave it a bit of a nasty nickname. However, I did get her to sit on one and that changed her tune a bit but it wasn't until a couple weeks ago when I was picking up a new riding jacket that she saw one go by. She looked at me and said "Is that the 'tard bike?"..."Sure is!"..."Oh..." she responded "I REALLY like it." She loves the SV I ended up with but I think there's a place in our hearts, and the garage, for the day I can afford the Duc.

I've seen this happen three times on the boards, , , Wife calls out "need anything from the store?" Tell her to pick up a hyper, could be that easy! ! !

At first my girlfriend didn't like the way it looked... Then she saw it riding around and that changed her mind real quick.

Well when I get tired of the SV, I'll paint it pink, buy the Hyper or some other Duc and when she sees the Duc, surprise her with her very own Pink Motorcycle. Lessens the blow
