    Is it a sin to say I ride a sport bike?  I have a black SV650s.

      No, I don't think so. But as I don't have bike at all and own more IH than a small bike club could wear, I am no authority. I'm sure some people have issues with Sport Bikes but ride, wear, and do what "you" like. That's how I roll…

      PS - If I did ride a bike, that one at the top that Giles posted of his French customer looks pretty on point!

        I'd like to claim this as my own, but unfortunately it's not.  Haraki has it sitting in his shop at the moment:

            Well, here is the motorcycle I was talking about in the above post.  It's a 2006 Suzuki SV650S.  I love the V-twin sound of this thing once I uncorked it with the carbon can.  I snapped a few lame pics yesterday on what is likely one of the last days of the riding season here.

                  I played with that baby today.  Haraki says it is "The Company Bike", all sales call from now on will be done on that beast!  I took loads of pix and a few movies today, will post ASAP.  I will ask Hiro what boots he wears.  G…..............

                      You don't have to tell me I'm crap at videos (I already know), but here's one I took when I was in Japan last week:

                      And this one is even crappier because I do not know how to rotate a .mov - any help appreciated (I don't have Quick Time Pro):

                        Someone asked me, and I'm buggered if I can remember who or in whch topic, what the bike is on the 634S patch.

                        It is a Harley Davidson FLSTF Fat Boy:

                              Time to get a real motorcycle then, Beatle. I'm too scaredy-cat to ever ride a motorcycle. It's not death I fear – it's emerging from an accident maimed for life. I tend to be fatalistic in my thoughts. But I can totally see you (Beatle) on a Harley !

                                Motorcycle season is pretty short in Germany. Sometimes you get lucky and you can ride as late as October - but with insurance and stuff it turns out to be quite expensive. Having my little scooter makes up for it - 60 Euro registration and insurance for a year - no taxes..it's tuned so it goes 60 k/h which is plenty of fun…Big engine will come when I really have extra money to spend....

                                    Hey Shubz, I guess your pleased that Readers Digest went bust then; I remember reading those RD true stories about some dude that got caught in a thresher and then had to walk three miles carrying his own severed arm.

                                      hectic, I wouldn't say that I'm pleased that Readers Digest went bust. That was a charming little magazine…I used to enjoy reading it.  I do remember such "motorcycle disaster" stories in RD though. The truth is, I've met far too many people (mostly acquaintances) in life who've suffered severe motorcycle accidents and lived to tell the story.

                                      I enjoy a tremendously great quality of life. I ain't braggin', but I feel great pretty much all of the time -- though I'm 45, I have the energy level and vitality of an 18-year-old. I am risk-averse in that -- I will not participate in activities that could fuck with "feeling great". If I got into a bad wreck, I would rather just die...the last thing on earth I would want is to "be saved", only to return to life in a lesser state.

                                      In the US, I suppose riding wouldn't be unsafe if you just stuck to city streets. It's the highways that maim (and kill).

                                        Well I didn't mean to be flip, re: RD demise…

                                        Rather, I was reminiscing about shivery, vicarious damage.

                                        Have a nice evening.
