    I think it's called BMW of Fort Worth, or Fort Worth BMW. Something
    like that. They only have two licensed dealers in the area, one in
    Ft. Worth and one in Dallas.

    Shouldn't be too hard to find. I think he just moved in the last
    year, so business must be OK.

    Sorry I don't have a copy, but there was a great photoshop of a bike
    done on one of the other groups that was a either a 'Busa or an GSXR
    that had been tweaked to show it in the air with a jet engine where
    the rear wheel would have been, and a simple air-fin in place where
    the front wheel would have been. It was a pretty good job and gave
    me a laugh.

    No doubt!

    I'm thinking they're building motorcycles to the tastes of the soccer
    mom yuppies thinking bigger is better/safer....even if it DOES only
    get 12mpg.

    I have not seen an Aeriel Square 4 in years, but it's worth noting
    that two Italian motorcycle makers had even larger numbers of cylinders
    in the past. Moto Guzzi once built an 8 cylinder racing motorcycle and
    Benelli, I think, made a six cylinder street machine in the 70s IIRC.
    It was very similar to the Honda CB500, but with two more cylinders
    canted a bit further forward. I actually saw one and it was quite
    impressive at the time....
    I once saw a homebuilt hybrid with a VW engine in some sort of
    two-wheeled frame.....it was, in a word, absurd.

    Now wait just a minute!!! I own a truck and I love it. It comes in
    very handy to trailer my boat or the bike(s), carry spare parts in,
    etc. I didn't buy it for the gas mileage (thank god) but as a
    utility vehicle. When I want to play and go fast I got mah bike!
