Thunderbirds Are Go

[Stichill]

At this stage of my life, cruisers do not appeal to me, especially ones with no mufflers! That said, your Thunderbird would win me over! Absolutely love the style of that bike! May I suggest you wear your new fancy Italian helmet vs a black salad bowl helmet, when riding it. Also, please don’t remove the mufflers!
Ride and enjoy!

Yeah, suhawk, I think the T-bird is much spiffier and sportier than the usual bagger. I have a rule: “No ugly bikes.” If the T-bird was just as it is except ugly, I don’t think I could live with it in my garage.

I’m with you on the helmet and the pipes! As a motorcyclist (not a biker), I’m profoundly irritated and embarrassed by our erstwhile two-wheeled brethren saving their lives with their loud pipes. Speaking of the Italian helmet, April is almost here. I keep checking motostorm.it for availability but so far no joy.

Stichill, Your thread title is Thunderbirds are go. Thunderbirds is a 60’s TV show for kids that used puppets. And there was a hot chick. Apparently remade later with the Are Go added. There was a few shows back then that used puppets. Hokey, but I watched them. Most had a hot chick. Except for the Davey and Goliath which was religeous.

I though you were making a double reference. Show—Bike—both Thunderbirds.

Didn’t know about the Harley thing.

Whoosh! Right over my head! I know about the old show Thunderbirds Are Go and intentionally used that reference for the thread title, but I didn’t make the mental connection between the marionettes on the show and your puppet reference. Doof!

I think I’ve seen pictures of life-sized dolls riding on the back of Harleys at Sturgis, which is why that interpretation popped into my mind.
