PREEEEEE-cisely sir!
I mean....shoot...just last night I saw this poor Dickinsian street urchin and his girlfriend dressed to the nines in their goth gear and sportin' their Icon Skull helmets at a store. As my wife, and I walked out, I saw him and her gearing up and getting ready to ride two up on a Ninja 250. My heart went out to these poor kids....I now know how Sally Struther's must have felt on her first trip through a famine stricken country. The sight of them having to get on such an underpowered ride almost moved me to tears. I patted my pockets down, and had my wife look in her purse for an extra cylinder or two that we could donate to these poor waifs, but alas, it was not to be. They'd have to make do with the primitive means they had, and it seemed, that they'd be happier doing without since an underpowered mount was all they'd ever known to this point in time......
Seriously, my wife and I got the biggest kick out of this pair.....it was motorcycling in its purest form. Kinda like watching a sandlot baseball game...no worries, no pressures, just the love of the game. These two just absolutely loved being on that bike. Their enjoyment of it just radiated off of them. It made my night.
