Gawd luv us - how did we get to this from winning bike of the month ???
I do see the "connection" but it's certainly limited by cold and a "stunted" example of the species..........HEHEHE
Maybe we need to start a new thread on "in tum ology "
And Strongbow is a def part of the mating ritual.
It's a firm favourite

I think the difference between the Hurricane people and the modern people is this.
We, the Hurricane people have to put a lot more work into our bikes to make them ROTM material. You notice the lack of that long list of aftermarket add-ons associated with the 1kf's. There's more to it, I think, than hanging a lot of bling on our bikes. Well, basically there's not much bling out there to be had for our bikes. Which, in my mind, adds the aspect of purity associated to the 1kf's entered in the contest. We have to work harder to bring the old gal's back to their original luster and beyond. That's why we applaud and support the Hurricane entry every time.
Also, I think the modern guys might all be of the opinion that their individual bike is the best out there, while the Hurricane members may possess a collective mindset that all Hurricanes are the best. Some better than others, you only have to look at my bike to see that, but even my old road dog gets its proper respect in our chapter of the forum
Being a Hurricane owner I will always support and applaud the guy who has to repair and patch cracks in irreplaceable ABS fairings, than the guy who opened his wallet for all of that bolt on, go-fast bling. Give me a new bike and and enough disposable income and I can build me any one of those other bikes. It doesn't take a whole lot of dedication and downright love of one's bike to click through catalogs. Hell, anyone with a computer and a decent set of wrenches can build that.
Give me the owner in a cold shed or garage in the middle of the night with a soldering iron, some filler and sandpaper. Or the guys rebuilding a set of carbs for the second time and sharing their knowledge. or the guy modifying a CCT to hopefully make all of our lives better.
If there are sour grapes over this, I say too bad. We here on the Hurricane page know more about what has to go into keeping our fine bikes on the road and in superior condition after twenty five odd years. Don't complain if we applaud each others efforts.
I know I will applaud it every single time
Sincerely,
Dave Cummings aka Wooferdog

I did however, find a baby picture of me
If it's anything like that Narypnit nymph or whatever it was, no thanks.
One naked bum for the week is fine..................
And whoever did for TK - as I recall you did ask. Must've been the other one with an S, but why rule out all the SuperMods, they can do it too ya know.
Some people are never happy.
