    cool bikes

    went to riverton over new years, and i saw a suzuki tl1000s there...stood there staring at it for about 5 minutes. then i saw a shiny black triumph speed triple. Both were Vtwins and i was waiting for them to leave so i could listen to them but they left .

    yeah i just look at the ones on the internet. every so often i'll see a harley or something down here, rich bikes are more common than poor bikes, because of the nature of the town, and people who live down here have too much money and not enough knowledge of cool bikes. That's why they buy harleys (not hassling them) instead of a brand new R6.

    Twin = Two Triple =Three. now how many cylinders does a Speed TRIPLE have? You obviously haven't heard the rorty rumble of a unmuffled late '70s Honda 250 twin have you?

    Do you go the full trouser bit or just the legs tied off at the knee
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
