Page 45!

My current ride does pretty well spinning the tires without effort.


It was October, raining, and I was on my way to Florida when that pic was taken.

that thing is enormous! how do you even keep it up? i would think you would have to be the size of Mike (gtvr6) to be able to keep from dropping that! Ok so maybe your bike was bigger, but mine wasn't built for speed, it's more of a sport bike built for handling.... small and manuverable. i'll see if i can find a picture...

140 cubic inch engine. Stock it does 0-60 in 2.8 seconds. I've worked the engine slightly and am cranking 150 hp and 150 ft/lbs of torque. The thing idles with more torque than my Harley has peak.

It's heavy but very well balanced. Even with all that gear I'm able to take corners dragging the footpegs. It's a stupid-fun machine!

LOL!!! When I was there in October I was on my bike. Most people were on scooters and I came rolling up on that thing. Subtlety never was my strong point.

Man, I miss that island!

ok fine, so maybe you are just a tiny bit faster than my hog and maybe it handles alright. but i guarantee i get better mileage! we drove all day and night and most the next morning all over the place and i burned through less than a tank of gas.

It looks like someone is trying to compensate for their short comings.
