BTW....saw American Psycho the other nite....OK, but still liked Boondock Saints better....

I did think AP was hilarious though....especially how he would go on and on about his particular music interests....while he was preparing to kill the listener...

So after watching $45k or so of my deferred comp vanish on the stock market ($25k of that this last month) and realizing that I will have to throw a fistfull of thousand dollar bills at my last autox fiasco, I find myself looking at used sportbikes to repace my CBR600. Yes, time to hunker down and make a purchase. Still looking at the Suzuki SV650 2004 and newer.... fuel injection, plenty of torque, and with a simple intake, exhaust, R-comps, and off the shelf EM, I could be knee dragging in the mountains quite nicely....... Should be able to locate a decent one for under $4k. Hmmmmm, the STi should be ready for a Thanksgiving getaway.....

Here's a clean looking one I've inquired on....

I choked with laughter as he ran down the hallway wearing only sneakers and a chainsaw.

Went through the first few seasons of The Wire exercising in the mornings. Really a fine TV show - I'm quite impressed.

My HP+'s don't make that much noise.

So i need some track wheels, but i also need to do something about these stock struts. I personally think I should get some CO's before I get wheels so I can get some 9 inch wides wheels, but my tires are shot already, and Iwould like to get some tires that might last a while and have a separate set for the track but if I get CO's I will have to get anouther set of street/track tires that don't last or perform the way I want them to. What to do what to do

If you look you should be able to find a used cbr600rr for 4K or less. I have ridden a few of those, theyh are very nice bikes. I was looking at some triumphs lately, speed triple, and I have also been looking at Monsters. For some reason I am drawn to single swingarm bikes.

I sent a guy an email about a newer buell lightning

I like twins in the mountains...perfect torque. I've ridden inline 4's like CBRs many times over the years but nothing is as much fun as a twin when it gets steep and twisty IMO.

Plus, I don't really ride down here in FL. Roads are way to straight.

I definitely agree, twins are wayyyyy better on the street. The powerband is way to high on most newer inline 4's to really enjoy them on the roads.
