I always figured Lou Reed was a GPZ fan...
| Quote: |
I took my gpz out for a ride
The engine felt good between my thighs
The air felt cool, its was forty degrees outside
I rode to pennsylvania near the delaware gap
Sometimes I got lost and had to check the map
I stopped at a roadside diner for a burger and a coke
There were some country folk and some hunters inside
Somebody got themselves married and somebody died
I went to the juke box and played a hillbilly song
They was arguing about football as I waved and went outside
And I headed for the mountains feeling warm inside
I love that gpz so much, you know that I could kiss her

"New York" - "The beggining of a Great Adventure"
"Lou,
Lou,
Lou"
"It's the beggining of a great adventure", That's what my wife said to me.....
"Romeo and Juliet"
"The great American Whale"
I listened to that album quite a bit.

Yep it is, and Gajudaw, those damn 16" front wheels made that f'in bike feel like it was falling into corners...
Everybody Ive talked to, who had a clue about riding, that owned that bike, hated the feeling... |

Thanks for the last summer flashback. Ray will know what I'm talking about. Nice bikes. I watched the #2 connecting rod FLY out of one a couple of years ago. |

Lou is a cool dude.
In one of his ?live songs he sings
"get the Honda revved up and you can eclipse even the sun"
Obviously he was singing about a black Honda. |

I tested one of those out and alomst bought it insted of my K..... the main objection I had to those is the steering is really heavy at lower speeds..... Got the K which lead me to an F. The natural progression I suppse....  |

The correct line is...
"So when push comes to shove, Get the Harley revved up and you can eclipse even the sun, you're paying a price when there's no price to pay, lovers trust, no money down."
He also sings about a Suzuki on the album "Legendary Hearts" |

I had a 1984 model, we got the 750cc engine up here, it wasn't a bad bike at all as I remember, nimble, relatively quick, and it had that one thing that F's should have, a sixth gear!
I sold my first blue 1983 CB1100F and got the Nighthawk S, should I be ashamed of myself?
If I knew then what I know now, well, I would still be a maroon! |

Thats the title song: New Sensations
