"Oh yeah, I certainly do. Not to long ago I had a Suzuki SV650. I met an older fellow about two miles from me with an H2." ( a quote from myself)
Oh well, a correction is needed /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif. I no longer used to own a SV650 as I now own another. It is a brand spanking new 2001 SV650S, 4,200 dollars US /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif. I so liked my other that another was in order and this one seemed to need a home. I sure hope I can remain in that other "50%" /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif. Well, I have been riding bikes since a teenager and so far have managed to miss the bluehairs in 6,000 lb Buicks and the Soccer moms who think their spawn is the most important protoplasm on the planet /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif so no reason luck should not continue to smile upon me. Sure, I have eaten some pavement and lot's of dirt too but nothing a little duct tape cannot mend /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif.
Cruisers are for old folks /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif, I don't want a bike that feels like I took my sofa for a ride, I like to lean into the wind, it is so much more comfortable and secure feeling and in control and control is a good thing on a bike.
Oh, that little engine in my arms is from a Bultaco Pursang 125cc, Model 100 circa 1973. This is the first bike I successfully raced in Motocross. Successful being the operative word. Soon I hope to return the rest of it to new condition. J
