Order the Life Alert (in case you fall and can't get up)

As far as bikes go... I was told the Harley Dyna something (with Loud pipes and Kuryakin air filter) was the fastest.

For those of you thinking that I'm a trool or whatever, have fun.
For those of you that have been helpful - thanks.
I found this, and am going to look at it Thursday.

No. What a bad day.
I went to meet "Rob", at his home, and took a few pictures but was shocked at the condition of what I saw and how I was treated.
He let me look at the bike. But the moment I put a leg over it to sit on it, I got a whatthefuck from him.
The bike looked kinda homebuilt, and not the fit that the panels had when it was built. I was disappointed. The turbo was put on by someone before him and he knew nothign. The swingarm looked like an poorly made toy.
I got treated like a disease, and never even heard it run.
I left, with money in my pocket. (Yes, mostly my mom's money, you sadistic f*cks).

Evilswingarms
are the best!!!
That's what I have on my turbo DN-01 that my mom bought me.
I think you should pursue this.
The guy was a tool for not letting you ride it.
Perhaps your mom should go with you next time or write you a note or something.

If you wanna fly, you gotta give up the stuff that weighs you down, get low and get lean, get an Evil SwingArm.
Sounds reasonable to me.
Just think, you could be like this guy!
