my couple pennies
I'll wave at any motorcyclist who isnt a jackoff. So basically if I wave an a harley doesnt wave back, or flips me off.. then i remember them and dont wave next time... usually i never see them again... but scooters.. i don't count them as motorcycles.

You should try a Burgman. They are more of a motorcycle than you think. Give one a ride and then give an educated opinion. Exact same size tires as the DRZ400 Super Moto.

While you're at it pull up your pants, your Simpsons boxers are showing.

because an automatic motorcycle is just wrong. it's something that shouldn't happen.. it's against nature.. they need a law against them... that's it.. im writing congress on this one.

Yes, I can...it's the damned position crotch rockets make you ride in that I detest. Real motorcycles don't make you sit on your stomach with your feet behind you.

My next bike will be the M109R....or a variation thereof.

Real motorcyclists will ride no matter what the position.. yeah it's not the best position - i agree, but the power and handling is just SO AMAZING. haha. To each their own. Yeah this spring I'm getting my second bike and its gonna be the M109R... saw it.. fell in love with it.. 1783 cc (i believe, it's at least aruodn there) soooo sweeeeeet, gonna be an awesome second bike.

the m109 is so nice.. being 22 graduated from college living at home, and seeing as how my dad rides with me.. we have a very nice apprectiation for bikes, and that's why i can afford to get it next year

What about my stepfather's triked Hondamatic 400? He's got a congenital defect that prevents him from being able to squeeze the clutch lever so he needs an automatic. Are you telling me that his bike shouldn't exist?

Maybe you should open your mind before someone tries to open it for you...with a crowbar.

theyd have to have a crowbar longer than about a mile, that they can swing at faster thatn 3800 feet per second if you're catching my drift on that one.

well I actually hate scooters and 3 wheelers.. I think they are slow and dangerous.. well maybe not the 3 wheelers but definately the scooters. I don't consider them to be in the same group as motorcycles.. sorry but thats just my most humble opinion..
