  1. My thoughts exactly.....I check their site every so often and I think they are shady AND overpriced.
  2. Actually, those "tanks" usually weigh less than their modern counterparts.. What car was he looking at?
  3. You can't go wrong with Akrapovic. I had them on my Mille, great quality. Does is have any other mods? Are you going to do the 520 conversion?
  4. I am a BIG fan of the 750....best true sport bike in my opinion. More pics please, and I like the exhaust..

    Free Corn

    A chemistry professor in a large college had some exchange students in the class. One day while the class was in the lab the Professor noticed one young man (exchange student) who kept rubbing his back, and stretching as if his back hurt. The professor asked the young man what was the matter. The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his country's government and install a new communist government. In the midst of his story he looked at the professor and asked a strange question. He asked, 'Do you know how to catch wild pigs?' The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line. The young man said this was no joke. ' You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come everyday to eat the free corn. When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming. When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence. They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side. The pigs, who are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat, you slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd. Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity. The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening to America. The government keeps pushing us toward socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare, medicine, drugs, etc. While we continually lose our freedoms - just a little at a time. One should always remember: There is no such thing as a free lunch! A politician will never provide a service for you cheaper than you can do it yourself. A government big enough to give you everything you want, is big enough to take away everything you have. -- Thomas Jefferson

    Thats why I got the B-King....wanted to be faster than both! Actually, it came down to the handling, the 14 felt a little heavy..and the Busa riding position was too "sporty."

    I was pretty close to getting one.....they are nice. Great seating position, good mirrors, good engine....
  13. My TLR made 121 at the rear wheel with the RS3's, my 955i made 131 and the Mille made 125, I suspect the B-king to be about 170.... It's the feel of a twin, the immediate torque.....the TLR fit me like a glove.....it might still be my favorite...
  14. RC51 with Jardine exhaust......oh yeah... I had a TL1000R with Yoshi RS3.....awesome...I would like to get another one if I could find one in decent shape...
  15. The 675 sounds nice, but nothing like the outboard powerboat from hell of the 955i...
  16. I have Sidi's and Oxtar's... The Sidi's are better
  17. I thought Prescott Bush was Catholic...
  18. I had a cherry 1996 Impala SS with 25k miles on it, took it there...they offered me $10k In their own database, they had a 96SS with 75k miles on it and they were asking $15k...... They are a joke..
  19. Bush's great grandfather is burried in Greenlawn cemetary.....they were from Ohio..
