Does it not make you wonder? We've just gone from stone-age flint tool making to the superb craftmanship of the carvings. Quite a contradiction is it not?

You guys did not quite get it did you? I was only going on about the scenery the bike has been projected against. If you take the bike out of the picture, it all looks kind of prehistoric: hence my comment.

I call my rig "world-thrasher" or "that-thing-to-go-around-the-world". It is the experience that counts isn't it? I guess they would've killed back in the Stone Age to be able to rely upon such a beautiful thing, whether for hunting or sex. Riding my bike is kind of a doggy thing to do, you see, but I do promise you I mean no harm to others. I just nip out in the dark to do my things and be at one with Mother Nature, who by the way is a bitch (I call her "whore"). She takes pleasure in throwing things at me, just for the kicks, but the gods do favour me and I always come victorious, undefeated, out of it. That's the way it is fellas. Every time I set out for a journey I put my fist up and declare: bring it on f*cker?

Yes, I know, but I am still alive. I am not saying he won't succeed in killing me at some point, but just that, that I am still alive.

This bike is a state of the art thing: can I ask you why you saying what you are saying?

flag wingman303 (Jun 3, 2009 at 23:09)
I am saying its the RNO1 for everyone, considering a honda looks similar and cost about $20,000 this is awesome at 6 or 7 grand. I was not bagging on the bike.
