You old fogies just dont get it do ya?

1) Just *try* and catch me.

2) The cool factor is off the scale.

3) What would you prefer, a girl sat on the seat next to ya with a stickshift in the way or sat behind ya with her arms wrapped round ya?

4) If it rains.....great excuse to go back to your place.

Swoop,

You're right, they don't get it do they? Here's what I have in the garage:

140 horsepower and 180kg dry weight (less with sports exhaust) means that no car can even come close.

Mine's a 1999 model (as pictured). Studio pic because I don't have a digi cam or scanner. Mine is the same colour scheme as the one above but it has gold painted wheels and a Yoshi RS-3 stainless steel exhaust kit.

I love being an adult, I can now buy toys that are much shinier and bigger than when I was a kid.

P.S. <Looking at big screen on R6> Do you tour on that?

125k miles and still being good to me... and I can actually pull out of a parking lot without fear of getting stuck.

That aint a big screen, it's standard. Camera angle makes it look higher than it is, if it was any lower I'd have to lie on the tank.
