    Look for ghostrider 2 on your favorite Torrent site. You'll be shocked with what this geezer does... (like a normal 45 minute trip... But he does it in 15 minutes with an 170mph+ average in rush hour!!)

    But you're nuts enough to go on it!! :D

    I think you have to be a little bit nuts to ride a big bike! Esp racing. Not that I did any good, always hung around the back, praying for the last lap flag! Beach racing was fun though.

    at this point, i'm looking to pick up a cheap, reliable streetbike. nothing too fast or loud but rather forgiving...hopefully looking a bit lighweight-Harley-inspired. can anyone make any recommendations? i don't have much cash...something bluebooking at maybe a grand US?

    A Metric Cruiser sounds like what you want Auslander, if you could pick up a previously-enjoyed one for a good deal.
    Are you a 500/600cc guy, or a 1100cc guy? (How about a nice 750...)
    Honda and Yamaha both make 600cc V-twins, but the Yamaha is amazing - you can't tell if it is 1100 or what, very nice looking.

    Ha! there really is no fear of what is lurking behind the door, I should only need to clean out the fuel lines, change oil, and new battery. But things are always a little worse than expected.

    hahaha...i could live with something as small as 250 cc. basically, all i want is something that can carry two people on occasions, live on minimal fuel, and serve me well until i can afford something nice, lol. how does a Honda Shadow run?

    @auslander

    Viragos haven't changed since they first came out... You can pick a cheap 535 anywhere... Just have a browse on the net. In Britain they're common as muck... (i hate them btw...)

    @Deadrum

    Yeah, i know what you mean. If everything went the way i planned my bike would be unfinished but rideable by now...
