    pictures, pictures dammit!
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Hmmm. Does it have a cupholder?

    or Sky Sport on TV?

    Looks like you have a tiller to steer it around corners....
    Still I bet riding one would be quite an experience, one which I would have a go.

    Much better than appearances suggest.
    And you CAN pick them up when they have a lie down. (Guess how I know)

    They don't fall fully down, do they? Only go to the crash-bars at about 50 degrees. Is that correct ?

    If I had two bikes, one a sporty sort, the other could be that one. The only thing I don't like is the brown/cream color. It looked old when it came out on some of the GoldWings, and it still looks old now. That must be super comfortable for touring. Never even been on something that big, aren't they hard to manouvre?

    Yeah, about 50 -60 or so, still a heavy bitch to lift. If they go further you can see dollar signs flying. Our rental Ultra went down one side, it was still rideable but it's going to be around $12,000 in repairs

    Only at walking pace with a load on. Once they start tipping they're hard to stop.

    At traffic speeds they're a doddle. I've even lane split on one. To be honest, when cagers see that thing bearing down on them they scatter.
