Gee that's a tough call. A 2013 Bonneville with an 865cc motor for $7699.

Vs. a 2013 500cc RE that can barely keep up with traffic with poor build quality for $6850.

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)

Truth be told, I put down a better bead back when I was in high school shop class welding junk together so I could smoke.


I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.

Yes, I believe the "law" states, you're a child, you'll be doing lots of labor!


It's not speeding till you get pulled over.
