    Shorty Street "GN-250"

    Well, here I was watching it tonight...yes I know, have to get a life.....but they had a dude on there with a GN-250. What really cracked me up was 2 things;
    1. They dubbed it's engine noise for a Trumpy 650-type.
    2. He put a chick on the back and they were still able to pull a burn-out when he took off.

    Am I missing something? Have GN's got a heap more power since I last rode one?

    You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be quoted out of context, then used against you.

    Yeah. I don't watch Shorty St (I have my standards) but Mrs Oakie and I both happened to see it while doing something else. Nearly pissed myself watching the GN on steroids.
    On a grumpier note ... yay stereotyping motorcyclists again.

    Did you tape it????????

    I dont watch, nor have I ever watched the famous SS.............but would love to see a GN do a 2 up burnout, sounding like a trumpy!!!

    No I didn't sorry.

    Yes, the stereotyping part was crap alright. Typical TV.

    Arguably, being a Honda is better than being a HOG...and come on...that's like putting Porsche Boxer badges on a Toyota MR-S.

    At the start of Blade II Good ol' Wes is fighting a coupla Vampire dudes on Ducatis ..... that sound like inline 4s!

    What is the point of putting them on beautiful works of art that produce a pure symphony of sound and then overdubbing with "Land of the rising howl"?
