We don't need more sensitivity training, we need DE-sensitivity training. Too many people with skin so thin you can see their quivering, sensitive little bones just waiting to be offended.

Last week on the show "pinks" A dude on a Suzuki GS (I'm guessing 1100?) took a best of three drag race against a V-Rod. I can'rt remember his name but the Harley rider was a Pro rider of some sort. The Zuki rider was Joe rider and had a little extra baggage round the middle and still stomped the V-Rod even with a bike length lead on the last run.

I got big plans, Brian! :lol:
Just not sure about when. :sad:

Right now I want to get another dirtbike and get a PW50 for the kids next year.

I really still want a SuperMotard for the street.

A big surprise, the Suz DRZ400sm made the Cycle World top ten, they loved it.  Some jetting and a yosh exhaust these things can pack a punch for the $$.

And I know where you can get a clean, low mile used DRZ400SM in black with the Yosh full system and jet kit...
Wouldn't be a big challenge to ride it from Everett to Tacoma, but it might not be such fun to ride from Everett, WA to Atlanta, GA... unless you had the time to stay completely off the superslab and can travel light.
