    Fair enough.
    No, I was suggesting that getting a bike that gives you confidence is
    better than riding some slow, ill-handling POS [1] that you're
    scared/unable to "go fast" on. You'll have confidence in the bike when
    you have to cope with the unexpected.

    Besides, what's wrong with tear-arsing around?

    [1] this is no comment on the bikes you've mentioned, just another line
    of thinking that I'm suggesting

    Christofire emerged from their own little world to say

    I don't think Sean is too safety conscious. He was brave/daft enough to go
    bitch with BGN...

    I've owned one. Nice, but underbraked - the UK model had double front
    discs.
    Tasteless and slow.

    Get one of these instead. They're very much custom bikes, they
    certainly make riding interesting and have a lot of character:

    In uk.rec.motorcycles, Cane amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom:
    You'll be selling lucky white heather[1] next.

    [1] No pun intended ;)

    "done in diesel oil"

    By Christ that's a shit bike. Why would someone bother fucking around
    with a CX500C in the first place? As with so many things the actions of
    others leave me in a state of bewilderment.
