Looks like some company will be starting a motorcycle taxi service in LA and San Fran, sounds like a neat idea if it can stay in business

just cause it's legal, doesn't mean I wanna do it... I mean the fact that I was right and they were wrong wouldn't keep me out of a hospital bed if things went bad

The problem with these bikes is you cannot carry any large baggage piece. To LAX, the 105 sucks in the morning and splitting is a must, but you really cannot split with that Spyder. Goldwing would be cool.

Can you say dick to butt?
