Just waiting on that guy to show up with the ducats to pick up the 1000 Interceptor. I've got my sights locked on that
CB-1; 415 lbs wet, 54-in. wheelbase, 45 rwhp @ 13,500... I've wanted one for sixteen years, now. Once it's in the driveway, I may just toss a car cover over the Beemer, buy a warm oversuit, and get all hardcore and 24/7/365 again.
What about the Ariel Atom?
ReplyDeleteIt's a car... That kinda seems like a bike... Only 458 kilograms, with 300 horsepower...

They're great little backroad burners, and I followed an AFM racer-buddy around along Redwood Road on his, but I'm to big for one so I went with the "One Man, One Cylinder" concept and an XR650L... I could keep up with him and bevel my MX boot-edges... :-)
ReplyDeleteHardcore?
ReplyDeleteHarcore is doing 24/7/365 up here in New England.
:)
(And for the record, I don't. But I have a friend who does...)
BTW, nice choice of rides. I could never trust myself on a sport bike - I'd either kill myself or lose my license inside of a month - hence why I ride a "Geezer-Glide"...
