The Beatles? :band:

Oooo that is a tough one! :humm:

Do you value peak or longevity and career value? As great as the Stones were in their peak, the Beatles peak was definitely better. The Stones career was obviously far more impressive although they lingered well past their prime and made some horrible albums. The Beatles quit in their peak, or possibly just as they were starting to decline so they obviously never had the opportunity to make horrible albums. This is a realy tough one but I'm going to give it to the Beatles, as in their peak they reached a pinnacle that no other band has ever reached before or since.

BTW, the lead singer and the drummer in the smilie looks like Keith Richards. :laughing:

I just bought a knapsack (rucksack) and am using that instead. Can still use the rack for books but for light things/shorter rides when you dont need the books or heavier stuff, it's quicker to be able to get off the bike with it.

So knapsack.

Do you prefer lower handle bar on your motorcycle

or

ape hangers.

The former of course! Ape hangers do not belong on motorcycle and no human being actually looks good riding a bike with it, contrary to the belief of the idiot rider.

That's a tough one. McCatney was IMHO more lyrical and easier to listen to but Lennon was deeper and had more to say. Doesn't help that Lennon was cut down on the cusp of a major come back. So I will have to go with Lennon. Plus he married Yoko.


If given the opportunity to own only one, which would you choose the Spitfire or the Hurricane?
Always ask why.

I'm not sure exactly what you are comparing. Do you mean the Beeza vs the Vetter creation? If so hands down the Hurricane as it is one awesome looking bike!

Liquid cooled?

or

Air cooled?

I think ceemes was referring to WW2 fighter aircraft. The Hawker Hurricane and the Supermarine Spitfire. The Spitfire.

Liquid cooling or air cooling? Liquid cooling.

Peanut butter or jelly?
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

Oh ok that makes more sense. The Spitfire I thought of were the Beeza and the Triumph sports car. The Hurricane, I assumed the Craig Vetter designed Triumph. :laughing:

Yes I agree 100% but you forgot to ask a question. :unsure:
