I don't care what you fargs say, that Atom is pretty damn cool.

And yes, I have been over 120 on a motorcyle.

120mph I could almost pull that in first gear with 5 more to go. Any monkey can ride a bike fast in a straight line on the highway. Racing on the track is the ultimate experience.

I've yet to try anything as thrilling and exhausting as racing a 600 or 1000cc bike on the track racing solo and sidecards on dirt speedway is the same outstanding thrill.

Sidecars by far being the most dangerous.

Sorry I don't rank cars or any form of car racing on any sort of scale.

Oh so the Indy 500 and all the F1 racing is BS in you're mind?

LOL there is a very good reason why Michael Schumacher is the highest paid athelete in the world.

Now to compare Motorcycle racing and car racing is silly.
Apples and oranges.

On the motorcycles you riders movements are very important as to weight transfer and the like.

To where in a car even if you could shift you're butt over I doubt it would make any difference in the handling of the car.

The where on the bike If done incorrectly you are most likely going over the bars in a nasty high side.

Now speaking of bikes I know they may not be the fastest around but I sure hope to someday get a Ducati.
I rode a friends and DAMMMM! them thangs handle.

But they aint cheap either $15K to $29K depending on wich one I want OUCH.

Oh well I will keep dreaming.

Ducati's are nice but for a V-Twin and that kind of money I'd rather have a Aprilia RSV-R

http://www.aprilia.com/models03/road/eng/modello.phtml?id=55

I owned a 00 model RSV for about 2 years before getting my K2 Gixer still one of the best and most fun road bikes I've ever riden.

Yeah I am fond of the V-twins.
I liked the RC-51 I had .
But the Italians do some majic with sportbikes.

We can still do pretty

I don't think that is a very good example furball... looks like something out of mitsubishi. Maybe a bigger wing and the wheels anodized gold would help?

You got an aston martin pic? Lotus 7 or morgan are cool too.

lazs

that is an Aston! its the DBR9 (race version of the DB9) which is why it has the spoiler and is lowered.

DB9

I can imagine you liking this one Lazs, Jaguar XK180, they went back to traditional styling with the wrap round screen and raised behind the headrests.

Morgan

lazs2 · « **Reply #28 on:** January 23, 2005, 09:17:18 AM »

Ok... if those are aston martins then... for the first time... I seen an aston martin that is jap ugly. Like all the older aston martins... love to get my hands on one with worn out mechanicals and rip out the electrical and mechanicals.

You are correct that I like the jag D copy and the morgan.

So what? Will you get....

the wonderful feel of a chick stratteling you and holding on nice and tight when you give a little gas like you do on a street bike in that POS???

I didnt think so.

There's a function for everything.

That street bike wannabe POS has no function other than testical substitution.

That gocart of yours, well. Good for you.
