Nope, it's a heavyweight twin with a low-powered engine ;-)

Nothing damages a machine more than an ignoramus with a manual, a
can-do attitude and a set of cheap tools

 


The book "Ghost Rider" by Neil Peart (who is Canadian) may be of
interest to you.  It is the story of his motorcycle tour around
North America.

I had never even heard of Neil Peart or his band before I ran across a
link to "Ghost Rider" on a motorcycle e-mail list.

 When I read all of his anti-American rants, I wondered just who the
hell he thought was going to read his book, if not American
motorcyclists and American music fans.

Then there was Peart's denial of *any* responsibility whatever for the
death of his wife after his daughter was killed.

Peart's dutiful wife stayed home and waited for him while he went off
and rode motorcycles in Africa.

Then there was Peart's gay boyfriend Brutus that he was writing the
book to, in the form of letters to him in prison.

Peart was obviously in denial about his bromance with Brutus.

But there was *one* good aspect to "Ghost Rider."

While Peart was travelling, he would read some excellent books in his
motel rooms at night, and Peart's list of good books made wading
through all of his self pity, Anti-Americanism, etc., worth wading
through.

 



Now you've got me wondering, Dusty:

1.  Didja ever have to lay either of those bikes down to avoid an
accident?

2.  If so, did you do less than $30 damage to the bike in the process?

Inquiring minds, and all that...
