Wow...




To bad for the French, we already "invented" a v-12 powered bike.  Looks like they are just to sissy to run 2 wheels instead of 3.

I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

adding more of a cozy united nations feel to it all, the original viper mill was partly engineered by lamborghini (then owned by mopar) and the latest (last?) viper was under german rule.

btw: at least we all can buy the french version. i think one or two people willing to 'service' top chrysler executives got a shot at the american beast.
