I had to go into Houston on business and it gave me a chance to hit the dealers in the pursuit of boots for my freakish feet.

Instead of my local dealers with 5 sport bikes on the floor.  I went through 3 dealers, totalling probably 80 sport bikes of 7 makes.
Although my F is only 2 months old, I am not averse to strolling through the aisles.

I saw one bike that I liked, then I discovered that it was another 500F.

There can only be two possible explanations to this situation:

The extensive collective wisdom of this message board has lifted me from the darkness into the light?
Have I been taken by the air cooled angel which can be all bikes to all riders?

This message board has confused and controlled me into this insidious cult?
Am I to be subservient to the two valved beast, have I sacrificed my soul to the GS?

Yes...  You are doomed.

I had the same thing...  When I first bought the GS I thought it was really ugly (not as ugly as some bikes, but nothing like what I wanted (aka Thruxton)).  But, now I like it...

Although the Fs are still ugly.  :flipoff:   :laugh:

Really though...  I like the Fs more the more I look at them...  I think they're possessing me too.  :o

I'm with you, the previous response was to banjo.

My F speaks to me.

In analytical psychology "lightness" or "darkness" of the individual unconscious is subject to the person's interpretation in it's pure form.

Translation:  What side do you FEEL you're on?

Personally, most other bikes do not attract my attention more than fleetingly.  The GS on the other hand stands out.  Of course I'm jaded, I own one.  :laugh: 
Every zero you add to the tolerance adds a zero to the price.

If the product "fails" will the product liability insurance pay for the "failure" until it turns 18?

That would require a deep thoughtful retrospective of my psyche.
Since you don't ask a question if you can't handle the answer, I'll pass on the analysis.

I prefer the shallow thoughtless hedonistic approach.
I may not serve a higher purpose, but I'm having a good time.

I must have my PRETTY!

must be a cult.
cause:
I don't feel saved
I still haven't forgiven anyone
I don't have the urge to strap an explosive vest on.
I still eat cows and pork regardless of how they are killed

I felt almost validated when I read this...
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?
