I didn't say anything was wrong with it. I just prefer not to do it.

Suzuki RE-5 Rotary

Heavy, flexy chassis, funky handling feel.

It's a unique, rare ride, but I couldn't find much to love about it.

I do it on the bus.
Nothing like going form 80 to 180 in the time it takes to pass two cars.

Don't even TRY to beat your chest and PRETEND you've got the balls to go over 140 on that bus



I don't think I even did THAT on mine

2006 Harley Road Glide

Not a bad bike, just not my cup of tea.

A chopper. I probably could have gotten used to having no rear suspension, my legs almost straight out in front of me, my butt half a foot off the ground, and the front wheel half a block ahead of me, but the ape-hanger handlebars were laughable. I really don't know how anyone can go around a corner with them.

140mph isn't crazy fast. I have had my little GSXr up past that.
