OK - so I am on craigslist, looking for something nimble for my daily commute.. something light and easy.. Looking for like an '06 Monster 620 Anyway.. I came across this, which I am pretty sure is the biggest abomination I have ever seen http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/mcy/3364152592.html

I saw one of those (online) with a stretched swingarm like that but with 2 inline tires in the back  There is also a sport bike here in St. Louis that is covered in some sort of fur 
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

Is it the camera angle, or does that sport bike have the ground clearance of a Hardly?

"sick paint" He has that right, it does look like someone had been sick on it.

Yeah, it's been lowered too, besides having it's wheelbase being stretched, Bryn.
However, I have a slight correction to your observation. That 'Busa is no longer a "sport bike". It's now a "drag bike", and pretty much now only good for going in a straight line very very quickly, because of what you said about its ground clearance and the looooooooong wheelbase.
(...in other words, I wouldn't attempt to steer that puppy around the twisties on a bet!)
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

We have LOTS of those around Atlanta. Not something I would want to ride, but it takes all kinds... I guess.

14K? I just about spit my unbolted grits all over the laptop. Why do folks have this burning desire to screw up a fine machine? jeez.

That is the nicest bike I have ever seen. I absolutely love it. I once rode one of these through the dragon at 100 miles per hour doing a wheelie...

 Are there any photos of you doin' that on the Web too, Paul?  (...and I assume there were no Corvettes coming the other way at the time, right?!)
