    Long nose Pete's are like Harley's. They look cool. Cruise nice. But are an old design. I've never driven one so my opinion is flawed, but it looks like maneuverability and visibility are poor, and they look they would be cramped inside. Now I await my attack for speaking heresy.

    Blasphemer ! Do you touch other people with the fingers that typed those words ?
    See end of hood, easy to keep between the lines
    Can't see end of hood, lines are just suggestions and rumble strips are your friend
    And then there is quality of ride.....
