    Girth

    So here's a trick question for the astute amongst you:

    Q: Which is wider across it's widest point: a Harley Davidson Electra Glide Ultra Classic, or a Kawasaki Concours 14?

    A: The Harley.....






    ... as long as the Concours has its mirrors folded in. At their normal extension, the Concours is WIDER!

    Poor Meanie. He should never have got the tape measure out.

    I love that the mirrors were folded in. The confidence in all....................

    Anywho, the harley still looks bigger and ill bet it weighs more so that constitutes it to be bigger, and lets not forget that Monies bike is wider than all ours when it has the panniers on

    I missed something. Did someone say Meanies going to convert his concours bus into a motorhome?

    You cannot ride a bus, therefore the concours can never be compared to a bus. so there

    That would probably be bigger, but there wasn't one parked in Meanie's driveway last night for him to measure.

    Heh, I wondered how long it would take for the other Concours rider to arrive in this thread and face up to the harsh reality.
