    Ditto. Except he drives an Alfa. With the number of years he's been diligently working there you think they would have just given him one by now don't you.

    btw His lap times on Ferrari's home track are only like .3sec off of Shummie's.

    I know just what you mean, the Aprillias and Firestorms here sound best, even, God forbid, some modded Harleys sound good too. We had a Jap 4 yesterday, I didn't get to see it, but it sang like Pavarotti.

    Sounds like just a normal ride consisting of Deano, Jimbo, Cycosis and of course, The Trash Man. I think you'll enjoy riding with us Mark

    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.

    Haven't had one yet but with some cams, carbs and tuning you should be able to get a real 130hp, similar to a Bandit12 we did a few years back.
