I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong.

I did, and it was the WORST piece of s%%t of a motorcycle I have ever owned. Mine was the first year version, and Yamaha swapped out a ware-house full of motors, under warranty, due to numerous issues. I was unlucky to have bought one that did not get the newer motor. It leaked oil worse than my 1953 BSA, and was the most cold-blooded bike I've ever started. I bought a full gasket kit, as well as the factory manual, and after reading the service bulletins in the back, and talking to my local tech, decided it was a lost cause. I bought my SOHC, and sold the TX for less than half of what I had into it.

Visited a guy down in bloomington, in.  He's got about 40 bikes.  Mainly went to look at some DT360's and a CL350.   
I guess the guy liked me, cause he insisted i take this for a ride.  WOW!

Hey that's a beautiful BMW race bike Buca, I'm playing with a R100RS project at the moment, tell me what you've done to achieve 85 BHP mate, I love my "Bavarian Murder Weapon", but I laso have a 2007 Triumph Rocket III, and the BMW feels a little bit underpowered in comparison? 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?"
