Yeah, but that was like, what? 1975? Everyone knows that to be a real man nowadays you need 1800ccs and 170 HP!

I think she liked the Victory

Not the Scout quite as much (Although, the boots coordinated nicely)

Clearly didn't care for the NM4. "Too weird"

I saw the same bike at the NYC show. I must have been in a trance, my son kept saying: "Dad...Dad...Dad" and then I noticed I was drooling.

Early naked Wings were beauties. I test rode the first year model, it was a gorgeous red, and what a revelation. Could not believe how smooth and powerful it was. I see them on Craig's List in my area on occasion but they usually look a bit beat up for the price.
Just noticed the Scout pictured has no switches or hand controls. Must be a new automated version that you ride by mind control.

No mirrors on the Scout?
Brakes? Clutch?
Somebody steal/borrow them?

Lol didn't even notice, was looking how well Cheryl's boots matched the seat.

Noticed that, and t-handle wrenches sticking out of the top clamps. Assume it was setup to allow folks to easily move the bars fore and aft, without levers, cables, hoses, etc. hindering movement.
