Well that was cute Smile

In all reality, though, it's nice to see some decent press about sportbikes. It was cool to see the author just report simple facts that he couldn't screw up - you know, give everybody just a little taste of our diasese.
When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.

what? you didnt like the Big Ben story? thats generally the only kind of press the sport bike guys get... needless to say... even at my office i get people going "oh you got one of those crotch rockets didnt you?" with some busted ass smirk...

sport bikes get a bad rap just like "import" drivers do... a few people screw up... screw up big... and we all ride the dotted lines and weave through traffic... Cry
