howdy yall,first became interested in the savage in the 80's;didnt buy one then.have been off bikes for 20 yrs,last bike was a sportster.anyway it looks like i am due for a substantial tax refund and the urge for another bike has really gotten under my skin and i am looking for something that wont break the bank and will fulfill my rather basic needs for two wheeled fun,which from everything i have read about the savage seems to fit the bill.it seems to satisfy the form follows function criteria that i have always appreciated.anyway my issue is that in the 80's i was a rather buff 180# and 5ft 10inches and now i weigh 250#.i believe the bike will have no problems hauling my lard ass around but will i look ridiculous while doing it?how about it...any other large dudes riding savages? frankb
