I gots nuttin'   Shucks Orson it was a play on Robert Delaunay. The first thing I thought of was Robert Goulet, the smooth baritone of song and stage, and especially the Will Farrell impersonation thereof. Oh, screw the MGS and Get a minty fresh Ghezzi Brian SuperTwin.  Actually Orson, I'm surprised you don't have one in the Tuscan stables yet.  |

I think someone raced an MGS-01 at Daytona this year, and perhaps there has been one/some on EBay, but I don't know where you'd buy a street legal, US spec bike.
Ghezzi-Brian would be the closest you'd get. Nearly bought one in 03, or thereabouts.

 OK, I love Guzzis and all that stuff, but... Do you ever notice that every time someone tries to make a sexy sportbike out of a Guzzi, it ends up looking like a bikini strapped over a diesel bilge pump? Its so... industrial sexy. No wonder the Germans love Guzzis so much. Of course, Germans love this guy too.  |

I AM sitting here eating tacos for breakfast.  I didn't even know it was a moral decision. 
Awwww shit, too late, I had Taco Cabana this morning. Should have read this before having breakfast.
You're a couple of "Stout-Stommics", for sure. In appreciation, I'll share this with you'll: get some of this stuff (local Safeway for me). Arriba! Roasted Chipotle Salsa.  Medium will start the fire for most aficionados. And, here's a bit of peppery wisdom you may already know: Muy El Grande (sour cream/cottage cheese) will balance out the net effect for breakfast diners. There are rules in the universe. Part of the Hell referred to, could be 500-mi of sport-touring with a bad case of Pepper-Butt! Y |

I was imagining the amount of time, thought and effort that went into the first post.
Though it is probably quite 'correct' in a sort of cynical fashion perhaps here we might remember ole Nietzsche that life when seen from a certain distorted, or is that mad angle, seems to be a perpetual return of the same?
Honey should we have chicken, ribs, chops, or steaks tonight. Yadda Yadda.
Yet, in each moment there are variations, unexpected and unanticipated events.
So what is meant by referring to all posters as whiners?
Surely given the cosmic annihilation that faces us all a little whining together is okay.
It seems no less disfunctional than whining about whiners.

1. Just because the engine is on and the wheels are turning doesn't mean you're "riding".
2. The bike you ride and the farkles you buy have no correlation to how good a rider you are.
3. The ignorant can be enlightened, but the stupid drive in darkness.

You could also add to this discussion a list of standard internet message board answers:
You want your bike/car to go faster, go to a DE or Track Days
I have no experience with what you just asked but here's my opinion
You have less than x number of posts so you obviously don't know anything
How dare you ask a question that was asked once before, search the archives
No matter what you posted, I will post that you are wrong or that I think differently, just becasue I can
Or this unwritten one - You are intruding on our thread so we won't talk to you, evident by no one acknowledging your post.
...and I'm sure there are tons more...
I used to have a very amusing bit titled, How many internet posts does it take change the plugs on an FZR1000. The answer was in the hundreds and showed each of the types of answers that type of post would get. I wish I still had it, it was great.
Kurt

We are gather here for a prayer... Our Father, Who art in heaven, ABS be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, no skid marks will be done, on earth or in Heaven. Give us this technology for our daily use. And forgive us our skills, as we forgive those who turn in front of us. And lead us not into the court room, but deliver us from high cost of parts. Amen.  |
