we're not still mad about that. you all are the ones that got the bad end of the deal with the land. we just don't like yankees down here. all i hear is we are so stupid and you all come down here to live. what's up. maybe someday i will be able to get all upset about loud pipes and cylinder index. but until then, ride hard.

 

Respect is the name of the game.. I have an HMF on my 500-cat and it will stay on.. I have my engin modded And the list goes on.. I don't think my quad will run with a stk exhaust on it... I even plow with it on.. If your not 100% on the gas it's not that loud.. I have never had anyone complane about my pipe... I was invited on a ride in NY state on the 19'th of this month..... But i can't go because i don't have a stk exhaust... So i decided to go and be cheif.... I have ridden with these guys may of times... This time happens to be on public land.. So i respect that.... I could take my Wifes honda witch is all stk except for tires..but it's not the same..... I'm happy with my quad.. and hands own i'd put my 500 cat up against any cat on here.... If i lost so be it.. But with 19 inches of G/C 29 inch tires... And a modded motor.. i don't think i'd fall to far behind.

Cylinder Index - by the Institute for Cylinder Appreciation

In general, a guy's perceived self-worth increases in direct proportion to the number of internal combustion cylinders under his or her control, i.e., their Cylinder Index.

Thus, those who seek to curtail the internal combustion engine are unwittingly assaulting the very core of a guy's value system. Although the doomsayers are organized and often quite shrill, guys far outnumber leftist extremists. This leads us into Ventura's Corollary, which says:

Guys eventually organize and rise up to stomp on anyone who threatens their value.

Whereas this principle is directly proportional in inverse order - the opposite is also true. ie those with a lower CI have no right to assualt a guys self worth and may have their own value system stomped on.

Why would I want a little Harley bike? Not very snappy and outdated technology. If its not over 100hp its a scooter.

Not bragging - but the CI is 64. Anything over your age is respectable. Care to step up to the plate?

 

Ok, I'm at the plate and you haven't given me anything to swing at. A 64 is all you've got WhoDatinDamud? I think I have you beat and I'm 22 years old. I have a Harley Softail Custom, a 1970 Mach 1 Mustang, and a Ford Lincoln Mercury dealership. It must be nice to have nothing better to do than figure your cylinder index. I would think that my Cl is pretty respectable considering it isn't anywehere near my age. Don't forget instructor, safety first. I guess that is why you don't have anything fast. Thanks for the explanation, I never thought about the CI, but I never realized mine was that high.

 

Thats only 10! 2 for the scooter and 8 for the cool mustang.

My turn, Restored 1954 Piper PA-22, Mint Pitts Special S1C (high performance stunt aircraft aka 204mph) Honda VTX1800, VT750 cruiser, 2 Honda Trail 70's. 150hp bassboat, F350Turbo Diesel, 2 other 4x4's, 3 ATV etc etc.

The new car inventory doesn't count as its not for personal use. There was a ruling on that.

I doubt your only a 10. Geesh - thats pretty bad..... You don't have a lawn mower??? lol

Hey - how about a good deal on a 05 mustang v8 red convertable for the Mrs?

 

That is just like a yankee to change the rules. Why have a lawn mower when you can pay to have it mowed? Your cylinder index is the most childish thing I have ever heard of. Seeing that you have a stunt plane, aka 204mph, you won't be around much longer to enjoy the finer things in life like loud pipes and sex. Sounds kind of slow for a plane? Remember safety instructor, safety first. No convertables or V8's for you. How about a focus with side airbags?

 

Oh no - CI is recognized coast to coast. But you'all in Tennessee are typically behind the times so I can't hold that against you personally. If you've ever been inverted in a open cockpitt biplane doing 200mph and 100 feet off the dirt, your not thinkin about loud pipes or sex...lol. Even the hillbilly kind...
Hey thanks for the offer but I wouldnt want to take your car away from you. Or did daddy say you can take a new one?

I suppose the 05's are way gone anyways. Good luck with that Focus! Oh - and that would bring you up to - 14!

 

Maybe we are a little behind because we measure a man's self worth in inches of his male genitalia. I think it is funny that you reply to every post I make within 15 minutes, you're a real winner! We just got finished with a 55 mile ride through Royal Blue, which is about 10 minutes from Big South Fork (not South Big Fork). Maybe you should spend some time away from your computer, but then again most northerners are addicted to ****, no I take that back, you probably just get off from talking about loud pipes and CI, haha.
