And no tatoos although i am thinking of geting one with an anthro jaguar riding a goldwing.

What on earth is an "anthro jaguar"?? Is it anything like a Jethro Tull??

CK, that was my wifes Kwacka ZL600 Eliminator. Shaft driven dragster styling, and powered by a detuned gpz600 engine. The hair got longer than that...but now it's short again (but growing).

anthro= anthropomorphic. A walking/riding jaguar. I wouldn't mind a wolf tat myself

Hey Matthew, that Augusta of yours looks like a mean machine! Can you give me some stats about it? hp, top speed, etc.

(BTW- I keep my hair short and have no tatoos...because of my beliefs)

www.mvagusta.it (note the spelling) would be the best place to get stats on it. Top speed is rated at 286kph but most MV riders change the gearing on it. I've hit 250 on it which would be about max for the gearing (up 2 teeth on the rear sprocket). Mine dynoed at 120.8hp at the rear wheel which is right for a sorted 2001 model. 2002 & 2003 models got the revised motor and produced about 10 more HP on the 2000/2001 model. This year the 1000cc models are due out, they look the same but are lighter and obviously a lot more powerful.

I got mine new but there are 2 or 3 2nd hand ones going between $25k and $28k which is not bad as most of them are mint.

The Brutale (MV's version of the Ducati Monster) is a great ride and a lot more practical for everyday riding.

LMFAO...went to Physio today (have a dodgy back problem)...asked said physio if riding the bike would aggrevate the injury. He said no then asked what "gang" i belonged to. Some things never change

Me got short haircut and one tattoo....avoid hot wax whenever possible.

OK That's IT!! I've been holding it in for what feels like freakin' millenia now - ENOUGH WITH THE PREACHING ALREADY!!

WE GET IT!!

You could learn a lot from Cold Kiwi about humility, tolerance, and sensitivity.

Its a motorcycling site.

I feel much better now.

Used to have long hair and no Tatts.
Then it all fell out - so 1 tatt was deemed acceptable!

Wow what a reaction!! and I didn't even quote any scripture. I really can't be myself around here without someone accusing me of preaching at them!

Read the post again. It wasn't preaching mate!

Toughen up Jim.

yep, like others short hair since about 80s, kids crack up when they see photos, of mullet,, two tatts, one on my back with partners name on, in case I get lost, (you know that whole return to sender thing) and one on my arm the tradional snake/rose /dagger .

firefight

When I was younger and wiser I was wary of tattoos - too permanent, too ostentatious, just not me. A few years ago my eldest son came back from an overseas trip with "Woodstock" tattooed on his upper arm (I still don't know everything he got up to and I'm not going to ask, but it was obviously a seminal experience for him in more ways than one). After my initial knee-jerk reaction I had to admit the tattoo looks pretty cool.
As for getting one myself...
Problem would be deciding what.

Hair: less is more!

It's still everywhere, my podiatrist asked me to steal him some face masks cause us motorcyclists are theives.

Add me to the list of tattood, long haired lout too. Only 1 tatt on my back of a dolphin jumping through waves and bubbles, designed myself. Want two more, one of a dragon and one of my bike, just gotta find a desent tattooist here (and that bloody annoying stuff they call money).
