ok, maybe not a toy...

a weapon of twisty destruction (maybe if someone else was ridign it :laughing: )

i was told i am not allowed to call it a "whip" so toy was the next best thing.

I catch myself going 60 in a 40 and not even realizing it. Cars feel so slow now.

I never thought my jeep would feel refined and smooth but it really does now! I-6 VS V-2.... the outlaw feeling of rawness is nice on the bike though

Ha ha I remember doing leaning in my car as well. It's funny that so many others have done it. ( haven't rode a bike in almost 10 years).

I like driving a cage, and I don't even have a nice one. I think I'm a little like BigChicken...my bike was a toy for whenever I felt like getting some fresh air.

Sorry. Don't hurt me. :lol:

Yep - TOTALLY weird. After spending pretty well the entire weekend on my bike, I almost bailed when I jumped into the car this morning. It was a relief to get out of it but I still have to get in it again later to drive back.
Ya right, :wink: there are only 2 kinds of bikes: It's a Ninja... look that one's a Harley... oh there's a Ninja... Harley...Ninja...

Yes, cars are anyoing to drive, I only use my car from/to work and to pickup other people, otherwise I use my motorcycle, motorcyles are just so much better in terms of acceleration, manuverablity and gas miliage.

(My work is only 3 miles away from my house so it's anyoing to suit up just to ride to work, then have to strip again)
