Damn don't these Honda's look good in yellow?
That neighbours bike reminds me of the 400 I'm drooling over.
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!!!!!!!
