Looks like some company will be starting a motorcycle taxi service in LA and San Fran, sounds like a neat idea if it can stay in business

The problem with these bikes is you cannot carry any large baggage piece. To LAX, the 105 sucks in the morning and splitting is a must, but you really cannot split with that Spyder. Goldwing would be cool.

Can you say dick to butt?

just cause it's legal, doesn't mean I wanna do it... I mean the fact that I was right and they were wrong wouldn't keep me out of a hospital bed if things went bad
