I'd say it's a mixed bag. If I'm looking to get away mentally, the bike does wonders. But if it's a problem that's on my mind, I find myself zoning out on a straight road and thinking too much of what I shouldn't be thinking off. Usually need to give my head a shake and remember to get back...

Saw Elysium... Ups - Awesome visuals - Awesome future tech - Awesome south african accent from the guy in district 9 Downs - Story made no sense - Wierd logic flaws...just cause you can wear a strength enhancing suit doesn't mean you're suddenly immune to blows to the head...the door doesnt...

Sorry...that was meant to be sarcasm. Too subtle I guess :rolleyes:. Whopping 12 second + quarter miles, uncomfortable seating position and scrapes more than it turns. Also weighs 600+lbs. Other than being a large loud compensation for someones man-bits, I can't see much appeal to the bike in...

I think you guys are being a bit ignorant about Harleys, especially the ones with new and sophisticated engines! See this video if you want proof... http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/38/1163/Motorcycle-Video-Playlist/2011-Harley-Davidson-Night-Rod-Special---Performance-Cruiser-Shootout-Video.aspx

If someone is irrational enough to perceive a finger waved at them from a bike that's passing to get ahead as a threat, that person probably needs to be locked up in the looney house! "Sorry, I was with my child and the bad motorcyclist looked at me funny, so I ran him over...I was soo scared...

Had it happen to me on a country road, doin a decent speed. Hot day, leather jacket was partially open. Felt like a stone hit me, a few seconds later, crazy pain on my chest. Stopped and ripped off the jacket, nothing. However, I had a nice red dot just above my nipple! Talk about hitting a...

If this is in response to one cop being and idiot with a gun and getting charged, it's a bit ridiculous. Sounds waaay too much like: Politician: Mr. Taser supplier, with all this heat on the gun incident, we can get some pressure to equip the whole squad with tasers. But I will have to be...

1000X This. I bet these oblivious idiots cause more frustration and dangerous lane change behaviour than most lone HTA 172 "racers" picked up on the 407.

Aaannd this thread officially is like...

Awesome trip, I've always wanted to do something like this! Thanks for sharing, especially the cost breakdown. Good for budgeting incase I ever decide to take the plunge :-)

I hate it when people do that!! You're lucky you didn't have to move over to avoid debris or something, or things woulda been uggly! Even if you were doing 120 and checking your mirrors, he would be approaching at 80km/h, or a football field in 4-5 seconds. Mad idiocy on his part!

Wow...all I hear is crickets! I was really hoping we had more people on here with small bikes, mainly so I can hit em up with questions (I have an SS but I loooove the TU250, just can't justify the price though).

Hmm...for some reason, I was always under the impression they were paid $1000-5000 per day. ;)

And it's only $145,000.

Too bad you have to come back, and here I am trying to find a way to Cali! Biker/Car heaven if the magazines and shows are accurate... As for the filtering thing, I don't expect a glorious battle of HTA172 law suits, more likely this...

You seem very quick to point out all the negatives (and even downplayed your previous relationships by saying they wanted you for your car). Women can smell negativity a mile away and no one wants to be around that. As cliche and cheesy as it sounds, "You gotta love yourself before someone else...

Try giving Z1 Cycletech a call too, when I was there last week, they had a pretty decent selection of pads sitting on their wall. (Bayview & Steeles area)

Re: The Place Beyond the Pines And by don't delve, you mean ignore right?!? Fantastic eye candy for sure, but the story line and inconsistencies were completely retarded! There were scenes where my GF and I would just look at each other and go 'dafuq?'.

Haha, I second this. PS. I "heard" somewhere that the 401 was initially designed for 120kmh and was reduced to 100kmh during the gas crisis. Apparently it was left like that for money farming reasons ;).
