No, it really does explode. 

Boom.

[spc]

yeah the bike blows up......although a broken bone exploding would be kinda interesting

makes ya kinda glad bones aren't made of silane or trimethylindium...though that'd be kinda cool...especially trimethylindium.  That's stuff's pimp.

LOL - I posted this last night right before bed and didn't look at it until after work just now ... the dude hasn't answered my email yet , so I may be getting overly excited , but I REALLY like this bike hehe . I've been riding for a few years now , and i've riden many of my buddy's bikes - from a ratted out Ninja 750 with no plastics to a Honda Blackbird ( i fell in love instantly lol) and have had a R1 on a couple mile highway excursion (he only let me go to the next offramp lol , then didn't want to ride the CB900 I had anymore   guess he didn't like the trade lol) .
Even with my little GS , I ride like an old lady until I knew the bike and it's behavior inside & out . I run the same roads around the house at ever increasing speeds until i'm happy hehe . I'm 34 now , still don't feel like a "grown-up" , but i'm mature enough to not have to run balls out at all times . I think i'll be ok with it ... if you're in the area and see some dude on a TLR getting passed by old ladies on mopeds , give me a break , i'm still learning the bike  

Thanks for the link to the honda btw ... that'd leave me some cash and a happier wife . That's only if this guy doesn't get back to me ... did i mention I REALLY like this bike ?

From the sounds of it, you could handle the Tiller just fine.  It is a sweet bike.  If you get it, you can come to KC and trade bikes with me for as long as you want.
