You old fogies just dont get it do ya?     :D

   


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.


:P

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.  :D

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.
