    B91 Wraith.

    Only $50,000.

    (looks damn silly if you ask me, and how does its weight compare to a
    Gixxer Thou?)

    "Available for delivery on October 31, 2005, the first twenty models will
    be released to their new owners at our factory in the warehouse district of
    New Orleans"

    There may be a delay

    If you pop over now you could probably pick one up bobbing along the
    river.

    Silly?? It is fucking awful is what it is.

    My as yet unfertilized grandchildren can design shit better than that.

    does it even matter?

    What utter crap. They have access to all the engineering skills and
    technology available in the USA and they turn out yet another awful
    looking, overweight, sack of shit Harley clone.

    Well done America, be proud of yourselves and your forward thinking
    ways. I'm sure it will be just as popular as Victory motorcycles are
    over here.

    By the way, that's a V-Twin engine, no matter what you dress it up as.
    Same as a Harley, and no doubt just as shite. Radial Twin, my arse.

    I wonder if Katrina'll produce a backlash on the anti-Kyoto mob in
    Washington.

    Nah...

    I pondered a similar question when watching an ABC report on BBCNews24
    earlier. I came to the same conclusion.

    Messrs Bush are no doubt rubbing their hands together at $70 a barrel.

    Watching My BBC the other night when this all kicked off and the report
    from the close of play at the NY Stock exchange was that Oil Company
    Stocks were pleasantly bouyant.

    And the worst thing is, they like it. All the first run has been sold,
    at $50,000 a pop.

    I bet some insurance company is hating bikes right now :)

    Its amazing that the american motor car industry has managed to get as
    advanced as it is, even though its not a patch on germanys for example.

    I've never felt a stronger urge to buy something just so I could
    destroy it. What an utter pile of shite. I can't believe the 'designer'
    compares himself to Phil Vincent & Phil Irving.

    paying almost half what we do for their fuel.
