Hmmm Why would you guys want a fast car if you have an awesome motorcycle, If i were to get a MC a fast one i wouldn't see a point in getting a fast car or a good car for that matter i would probably get a KIA or something to be transported around with during the winter but that's about it. Cause really there is no car that can match the performance of an MC. Specially when it comes to acceleration.

I have thought many times to get an MC driving license but i would probably kill my self pretty darn fast with it considering how fun it would be to drive one So have never attempted getting a MC license. But if i do i probably won't be needing a fast car then a reasonable priced car would do the transport job good enough.

For me it is more about how agile and easily you can dive into the corners rather than straight line speed. Love the feeling of my body diving into the mountain bends! (I've ridden a CBR 954rr, however, and the acceleration is simply intoxicating 0-60 in 3 seconds!!)

However, if you start with a freaking 900+ 4 cyl motorbike, you are most certainly going to crash, entirely too much power. Not even people who have ridden for many years use all that power. Start with a 250-500cc , you can almost use all the throttle without popping power wheelies or loosing control.

I'm sure most of us don't use our bikes on a daily basis and garage them for most of the winter. It's nice having a daily driver that I can drive to work in or have fun in whether i'm driving long distance or simply going food shopping with my wife. Can't put groceries on the back of my bike and i'm not a big fan of strapping someone to the back of mine either.

Hi they Mr Scblacksunshine. I brought your old stolen HP2 recently. I'm also in the southbay, did you buy another HP2 as a replacement?

This was my bike before I totaled it in the NC mountains shattering my collar bone, requiring painful surgery. 6 plates and 7 screws now hold my collarbone together. Needles to say I gave up motorcycles...not worth the risk!

Oh no! What road in NC? I've ridden the blue ridge, the diamond back, and The Devil's Whip (that road seriously put my skills to the absolute test, phewww)....glad you're alive though.

I don't know the name of the road, but it was over by the dam. I avoided the most popular roads like the Dragon. The accident was not due to aggressive riding or anything. I was just fatigued from riding all day and made a small error...and that was it.

That's what I had as my final bike, sans hard luggage (made do with a good tankbag and tailbag) but with pinstriped wheels, a Sargeant seat, and body-colored dash panel. I had a 2002; first year of the Interceptor model. Phenomenal all-around bike. I'll add a pic or two of it tonight

Glad you survived the crash, sstarrx3 . Seriously. Part of the reason I gave up riding was because I felt like I was on borrowed time (no major mishaps in more than 100K miles). All it takes is once, as you're proof of.

Nope. Hopefully the previous owner told you everything about the condition of the my stolen but recovered HP2. The cracks on those carbon fiber body parts were kind of major and I doubt he replaced them with OEM parts. Shoot me a PM if you want to discuss. I got the Tuono as a replacement to HP2.
