my new favorite. I'm under the hood of my truck putting the engine back together after changing the timing chain and sprockets, this dude drives up and asks what happened. I shoulda just said I'm making the motor grow 4 more cylinders and a turbo instead of saying what I was actually doing.

Not really. I feel pretty comfortable on my VFR but it still has that bent-knee peg position. I usually have problems on cruisers and standards because my knees are too high on the gas tank and dont fit into the concave areas theire supposed to. I havent tried the ZRX or the Fazer.

you might be better off on a dual sport or something with your height - shit, you could probably flat foot trip's GS on the centerstand

"Are you riding a motorcycle?" she said when she saw me in my leathers and carrying a helmet.

"No, I'm an astronaut," I said.

My favorite is after a weekend when I've been out in the sun (laying out or working) and I get asked on Monday at work... you ride this weekend? As I stand there in jeans, leather jacket, and helmet in hand as it's 90 outside.
