1) Bultaco TSS water cooled - Pass the drool bucket.

2) Triumph X-75 Hurricane - God bless Craig Vetter!

3) Early 70's Ossa 250 Stiletto MX - Slickest glass tank/seat/fender combo ever.

Yes, yes, yes...  I thought I would have been the only one to have any Studebaker, much less that one, in a top 3.  Was that a Raymond Loewy design?  Every year, I look at all the new models in search of one so simply beautiful.  Every time I'm disappointed. :cheers:

Oh KevinC, I thought you might find it cool that this summer I am riding a Norton Commando 750(2 of them actually, best friend on the other) from Mt Shasta California to Solvang California. It should be quite the trip.
Friends dad who lives in Shasta has 2 fully restored Commando's. Both same year, ones blue, ones black, with the gold striping.

Top 3 on my "realistic" list of bikes I would want to own:

1) Suzuki SV650 (faired or unfaired version) -- Best bang for your buck
2) Yamaha V-max -- Torque monster King
3) Suzuki GSF 400 Bandit -- a shame manufacturers don't make similiar cc sized bikes like this

(remember I'm only 5'2" so my choices are somewhat limited)



Top 3 cars I could "realistically" afford to own:

1) Dodge Viper GTS -- Torque monster king via its V-10 engine (I know, I know - this would be a bit of an economic stretch for me, but I couldn't resist)
2) Mazda RX-8 -- can you say ROTARY? (hidden doors are cool too!)
3) Subaru Impreza WRX (STi edition) -- urban rally racer's dream

Yup. Loewy's best. A design masterpiece. Compare and contast to a '53 Furd or Chebie. Too bad they started hanging on more chrome each year after '53 and even tailfins later, as the Hawk.  :dunno:

My Dad actually had two '53 Studebakers at one point - one that ran and one that didn't (He paid $80 and $40, respectively  :o ).  He didn't have a drivers license at that time, so he would drive them in my grandfathers driveway.  I guess one day he wasn't paying attention to what he was doing and took out the back wall of the garage.  Shortly thereafter, he no longer had those Studebakers anymore ...

For looks, Triumph T-Bird sports. For sound, almost anything with an italian engine. For practicality, I guess I'll stick with GS.

In Cricket the testicular guard, or Box, was introduced in 1874. The helmet was introduced in 1974. Is there a message??
