Last weekend, I was at a local dealership with a buddy of mine who was buying his first bike. He was having a hard time deciding between the Rhoondu Snakebite 811 and the Grakkexx MonoDUO-5 1344.

Well, I had to sit my buddy down and explain to him the facts of life. I told him that although the MonoDUO-5 possessed a larger displacement powerplant, the semiferrous intersperced microchambered densifier coils utilized in the Snakebite allows the sub-retentive negative-pressure cyclics to generate a nano-harmonic reciprocating cohesion wave. This, of course, creates a self-stabalizing collusion of exhaust gases and crankcase blow-by within the multichannel post-ignition routing nacelles, which causes the hydrostatic vaults to synchronize at high RPMs and adjust exhaust gas acceleration according to the multiflow optimization profiles utilized by the HARKUP-IV ECM module. As we all know, that means the Snakebite actually generates more horsepower and is therefor the faster bike.

Oh. And the MonoDUO-5 weights three times as much as the Snakebite. That makes a difference too.

He bought the Snakebite, of course. I'm just glad he didn't buy a damn scooter.

While I can agree that the Snakebite is a faster bike, the weight of the MonoDUO-5 contributes to it being very settled and confidence inspiring in the corners, so on the track it's faster. Not to mention it's very easy to modify the cyclic inverter of the MonoDUO-5 for less weight and more power, whereas the Snakebite is pretty much tapped out from the factory.

Jackofthegreen- if that's original material I would like to shake your hand and buy you a few beers. If it's copied, I reduce that to a well earned thumbs up.

[JackoftheGreen]

It's original as it can be, coming from a guy who watched Star Trek as a kid and tunes into Mythbusters these days.

I'm not too proud to say it's better than it should be though, since my first two attemps were lost to the ether due to getting timed out on my work computer. I finally wrote it in Notepad first.

I'll take the handshake, but trade the beers for a rum-and-Coke. (-:
