"It felt strange for this to be
my death, it didn't feel right. My frustration was that
my death didn't
fit me.
It was the wrong size, too small, and I refused to wear it."

| 2004 HONDA CBR600RR | July 18, 2010 | A supersport bike descended from a world class championship winning design with ergonomics that would make a Spartan think twice about swinging his legs over the hump. A little over 400 pounds wet, 115 horsepower, 10 second quarter miles, 165mph top speed and 42 plus miles per gallon.

| AMERICAN ANGST | May 18, 2011 | Harleys are jokes and I've made fun of the flag-slathered, trend humping, fashion lemmings and the ridiculous chrome plated, open piped, dildo yachts that they worship since 1993.
