I test drove a 2004 Ram with a Hemi, and it wasn't any different than the 360.  I agree, this new Hemi is just a marketing gimmick, nothing like the Hemi's of old.

I don't know about nice drivers on a V-10 bike, but definitely insane ones.

Hate to tell you all....

That Tomahawk does not ride like a motorcycle.

It has four wheels and drives more like a car.....

Well I've always been a 4V 351 Cleveland fan, those Mopars might be great engines, but most of the Chrysler cars that made it out here were uglier than K7/K8's! Cheers, Terry. ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

You sit on your taste Terry.
Not only is the K7 Rat a magnificent looking machine, so was the '65 Phoenix & S series Valiant I had.

Well I didn't say ALL Chryslers were ugly Dave, I was thinking more about the last ones we had here, before Chrysler Australia went broke and handed over to mitsubishi. (UUURRGGGHHH!!!)

A K7/K8 on the other hand, is an "aquired taste". I remember a dealer here in Melbourne trying to talk me out of buying a superseded F1 that was on special and buying a superseded K7 instead.

I looked at it, but just couldn't bring myself to like it? I bought the F1, and to this day I maintain that I made the right decision. Cheers, "Tasteless" Terry. ;D

Terry, I cant stalk you. See you live in Oz and only people in their wrong minds live there!
A place with more snakes than people!

Hey Come on mate, some of my closest friends are snakes! There probably are more animals here than there are people, the Kangaroo population here at Puckapunyal (big army base where I work) is estimated to be around 75 thousand, up from 25 thousand only 12 months ago, and we've got Koala's, Wombats, Emu's, Wallaby's, Goanna's, Tiger Snakes, oh and a few people too! Cheers, Terry. ;D

I'd be more worried about 'Roos mate, they're big dumb buggers, I've hit a few in cars over the years, but luckily never on a bike, which I guess is why I'm still here! Cheers, Terry. ;D
