    Your bike seems so much faster when you haven't ridden it for a while? I took a quick blast to Mt. Wachusett yesterday with a couple of buddies. The bike ran flawlessly And I was able to keep up with both RC51's & the 954RR I was riding together with no problems

              Well, the good news is that my wife found a part time job while she is in school. She starts this Thursday. It doesn't pay much, but it may be enough for me to be able to keep the bike

              I listed it on Ebay and it didn't sell, so technically I can tell her that I "tried" to sell it

                      We didn't need to hear that.

                      I ride mine everyday but it's mostly highway back and forth to work

                          Sometimes the length of time between rides on my bike, I actually become wary of even going WOT in 1st. It's those times you can get the adrenalin flowing without having to really go to the limits to get the fix.

                          Although the difference isn't as great between rides since I sold my old 83 Falcon for the 5.0V8.

                          Ever got out of a go-kart on a track then jump in you car and jumped the first kerb you came to because you didn't use anywhere enough steering lock?

                          If I have to jump in my car after a decent ride, it's like this thing is so slow, slow to accelerate and so slow to stop.

                            Generally a full day once a week..or every two weeks but always dawn till dusk....

                            My Tiller always scares me

                            And thats why i love it so much

                              I know what you guys mean...I go for 13-15 hrs with out riding it and I jump on her in the morning...and she just rips to life...I was late to work one morning and she had no problem getting to 90 mph with out even thinking about. I sometimes feel bad for the neighbors...well no I don't.

                              I know 90 is a little too much...but the TL made me do it

                              She keeps me happy everyday, even when I am not happy.
                              If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason.
