Well, for the Ducati, it appears to be a box full of broken dinner plates...
For the GS - it's a bunch of little teenie tiny German dudes.

If you're from the Kootenays, I understand its borscht.
My ST is powered by a .5 Gigawatt flux capacitor. I can't travel through time, but can cover a lot of space quickly.

Imagination and curiosity. What's over the next hill and around the far corner? What happens when I ride in heavy rain? What's camping like in Arkansas (high humidty and mosquitoes)?
Yea. Curiosity

I think the question was about your motorcycles, not you personally.

Hmm, so we ride "enginecycles"?
You are of course right though in terms of the strict definitions of the words.
Anyway, my ZZR is apparently powered by a gigantic nest of really angry mutant bees. The ZX14 is powered by one of KHI's industrial gas turbines.

No wonder you can't go through time - you need 1.21 Gigawatts for it to work.

Apparently it runs on Stress, bad moods, unhappiness, anxiety, depression, and who knows what else. Because when I ride all those disappear and all I'm left with is happiness (must be a by-product?).
