I was just asked if " that's a really big scooter or is it a bike?! " I looked at this kid and said, are you f'n kidding me?! I can't let my Indian friend know that. He says it all the time. lol

One of my little sisters (almost 50 but always will be my "little" sister) rides a HD 883 and she calls my 6 a spaceship.

Better than a scooter Dan!

One of my little sisters (almost 50 but always will be my "little" sister) rides a HD 883 and she calls my 6 a spaceship.

One of my Harley riding friends referred to mine as a spaceship after I went all LED white lighting in the front and he rode lead at night in Daytona.

I took that as a compliment and as of then I have a bike I can "pilot" and not just ride!

I have a coworker (Harley) rider that says I have a big Scooter, he knows better though. But what is funny is when I was riding back from the Franklin Rally, I stopped to have lunch with a friend in Tennessee. This older man walks out of the restaurant (part of a Church Crowd), and asks me and is serious -what size motor is in my Scooter. I chuckled for a second and told him it was a 1800 cc engine, the look on his face was priceless. And just a couple weeks ago my Granddaughter (she is almost 3) went with us to car show, and there was one of those big Scooters sitting there (it was a dark gray) - and she pointed to it and said papa, papa. I started laughing and I'm sure the look on my face was priceless.

I had a Harley for seven years. Probably put around 15 k into it, 21" wheel, apes, custom paint, blahblahblah. The first week I owned the F I was sitting at a light and a woman rolled her window down and said "I really like that bike". A few days later I parked it in the loading zone in front of a Home Depot and a woman walking into the store stopped and backed up to stare at it. She sounded awestruck when she said "Whew, that thing looks like it just wants to climb a mountain. Very nice". I had never gotten one remark from a woman towards my Harley. Oh and my wife loves it too...

I have some Valkyrie friends that kid about the rear end looking like a Cushman scooter.20958

[hardtail]

I've had mine called a space ship and a fighter jet but I just call it the fat girl because it is pretty wide across the rear end.

That's "phat" girl. She likes to play!

The "Phat Girl" is the nickname given to Valkyries for a long time now.

I heard it from Steve 0080 at one of the RTEs. In my years riding the '98 Valk, I had never heard it before.

That nickname has been in use on the VRCC for years and years.:icon_wink:

That's funny!

My HD brother in-laws says its like something George Jetson would ride. Yeah I have 3 BIL's and two of em ride Ultra Classics. They always ask me to lead cause they know the "space ship" will end up in front anyway. Don't worry about it Duke. Its a good looking ride and nothing else even comes close. I'm proud of mine. I'll park it next to any cruiser out there and know mine is as good or better. I don't know about you guys but I like a Phat Azz.

Dat be true.. I first heard that term in 2000---just before I bought my Valkyrie Interstate in 01.

Jimmy knows what he's talkin about. :icon_lol:

I get the scooter question all the time.
Dives me nuts.

Odd...just this past Saturday, I had a guy ask me exactly the same thing.

[ths61]

Never had the scooter comment about the B, but I would get asked what the V stood for on my previous Vision. I would tell them it is the Vespa logo.

[nomercyambulance]

I get the "scooter" comment all the time here at work.
The people who make the comments have never had
the pleasure of being on two wheels.
To them I say "Enjoy your mini-van" and continue on
with my great day that will end in the wind.

I have always had the absolute best compliments on mine, but one time, a fella in Roswell NM (at a gas station) ask me if it was a newer Pacific Coast. He wasn't being an ass, he was just trying to wrap his head around it.
Another guy told me that he wasn't a biker, but he said, that has to be the most beautiful motorcycle I have ever seen !! Now that was an honest unbiased opinion !! Gave me the phat ass, I mean big head !!
