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?

I get 55mpg on my TLS when I take it easy...so I won't be impressed until someone here turns in excess of 100mpg.

my turd super flea METRO

Hey is that Metro an old boxy one or is it a Turtle?  I've always wanted to get a turtle, gut the engine bay and rear end, slap an independant rear suspension from an RX7 in it with 4:30 gearing, stick a sprocket on the diff's input shaft, and mount a Busa motor right above it.

Think about it...the car would weigh what?  1100lbs gutted and motorless?  Add 400lbs for the Busa stuff and RX stuff.  160rwhp 1500lb Turtle.

Are you sure your gas tank isn't leaking :o

Are you drag racing down every street, I just can't see how it can be that low.
