Mountainbike?

[Darsh]

Sure... it is of no context.

The first bike I sold, was the Hayabusa.

I am holding 69, 100 dollar bills in my hand. I have them folded over and banded like the
big guys do.

The bike was worth 7800.00, but I had to part from it. When the doctor says you don't ride, you
don't ride. I have learned this. I rode a bit, but I did not ride.

The Giant is next. It is a glory bike. Light, fun, ready for bumps. It is going to sell soon as
well. I will hate it as well.

I rode the Hayabusa 4 times today. I hit 150mph 6 times today. I hit ~170 once today. It was on a
sort of curve. I wore no helmet. I had shorts on. I really wanted to talk to her one last time.

I knew that she thought it was OK. She used to laugh at me. Now she only told me. I thought about
the last day. It was happening in front of me. The fastest production motorcycle ever built. I was
selling it. It was owned by someone else.

"I pulled the Tech-9 out of the mail bag. I knew that going postal would be the best thing for me.
That guy who died practically handed over his uniform. I knew he mouthed hatred."

"I fired off the first few rounds...."

RATTTTT, TATTT , TATATATTTTTTT, RAAATAAAAT..

I feel your pain - I think we all do.

Maybe you can get into some 4-wheel racing instead, not the same but a Catherham or Lotus 7 will
make you smile also.

Follow the links to the Z100WR - quick intro as follows:

Introducing the new twin-engined Z100 and Z100WR.

The Z100, developed in association with Z Cars is fitted with two 900cc Kawasaki ZX9 engines, power
is delivered to the 225x15" rear tyres via a bespoke transfer box. The transfer box not only
combines the drive from the two engines but also provides a reverse gear.

At a recent magazine shoot-out, the fully road legal Z100 achieved a 0 to 60mph time of 3.11 seconds
and a 0 to 100 to 0 time of 12.5 seconds.

Once development work had been completed on the Z100, the four wheel drive Z100WR was put in to
development. For the WR, twin 1200cc Kawasaki ZX12 engines were used, each producing
approximately 190bhp.

In November 2001, the Z100WR posted a 0 to 60 mph time of 2.8 seconds and a 0 to 100 mph time of 6.3
seconds using road legal tyres.

Should give you some jollies, Darsh. ;-))

Sorry to see you go through that. Take up knitting? Cribbage? Reminds me when I got engaged, sold my
beloved Maxim, my classic 62 Ford, 68 caddie, all my guns, (Colt will miss me) it was as good as
getting neutered.

Paladin And thanks for checking in. Windsurfing is a standing sport, eh-GMan??

I saw a twin motorcycle engined car called the Lion on UK TV 3 months ago. Hit 2.9s 0-60 and threw a
con rod through one engine on the second run. Still it had the UK record for the fastest production
car. If I remember correctly £40000 for one. Separate or linked gear changing for front /rear
engines, each driving the respective front/rear wheels. Looked bloody ballistic, fantastic even,
still it wont handle the wet tree roots on switchbacks and cost you your driving licence due to
descending the staircase to the underpass.

Kent Still if I had the money I would have one and a superchipped Hayabusa, jet ski, RM9, Cannondale
1000 with Carbon lefty ETC...

Glad to see/hear you're still with us.

Peace, Bill The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than as a reflector, that is, the mind
should give an immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world.

I have taken up 14ers. I have 4 in the last two weeks. That makes 8. Only 46 or so to go. I am going
to attempt a Pyramid summit for the second time tomorrow, just for fun. I am not neutered, but I am
sure that at least two sections on Pyramid tomorrow will make me feel that way.
