It's also a sexy, un-beginner friendly bike. I want one. And I'll take the pillion in those pictures too

I've seen her around town a few times...

Smallville is filmed here in Vancouver, and it's a very popular show...
In that last frame you can see the elevated track for our ALRT (Automated Light Rapid Transit) It's called the SkyTrain.

I've been to Vancouver quite afew times... great city...... a truly excellent city. By the way, the A in ALRT stands for "Advanced". The reason its advanced is because the Skytrain uses linear induction motors and it is on a welded trackway (not because it is an elevated system). The When the rider boards Skytrain, (even though I don't like the interior design), it is a thing of beauty for its propulsion. It has a virtually seamless power band, accelerating quickly through three gear-like power bands. segment with very little track wobble or side movements. Here in Portland, we have just LRT, that is a train on tracks, with a sometimes clickety-clack trackway, and sideways jiggling as it goes forward. Congratulations on the 2010 Winter Olympics by the way..... it should really be cool.

Yah.. I've been a classic car guy since i was little (watching my dad build up 60's musclecars), and im into that now, but I want to learn to right.. lmao, i have never even ridden a dirtbike. I'm not saying i plan on going out and getting this bike now.. I may never get it, but i just wanted to know what it is so if someday i have the means and still want it, i can go after it. I plan on taking a course this summer and getting something very beginner and wallet friendly.. any ideas on what i should look for?
