Gotta love drunk bastards on motorcycles just jacking up the rotation. I've always wondered why the idiots flock to suzuki's?

that might have been the spare tire in your shirt you're carrying...


they do feel a bit clunky though, but ever since my RR w/ the lowered tank and airbox config, etc, any bike with the up top gas tank kind of feels a bit top heavy.

Sorry bro, but X is in Vermont until she's either sold or I get back. If she still isn't sold by the time I get back from the desert, then I won't be selling her.

TM really does thump (and thunder and whine). But I can't argue with what she is, she just feels right. She has her moments (hence her name), but she just fits.

Down here in South Florida, it's a safe bet that if there's an Under 21 tag under the ass, it's a squid and idiot rider. But I do agree, I have seen some 'older' riders do some stupid shit too!

I saw a Stretched Busa the other night and it just looked rediculous!

I came over with the CF influx, its Kel's fault!
