Ok, I apparently missed this turn and had to double back.

The name is Joe, and I've told most of my CBR story here and there in dribs and drabs. Reader's digest version. Bought a 90, my own kid stole it and won't give it back. So I bought another from way out of state and had to wait about 3 months for it to show up. Both of them run like a striped assed ape. Been a "slow man" mostly on cruisers for almost 40 years. Kid starts talking about sport bikes, so I bought a bargain just to keep from paying Harley $200 a day to rent one while the kid was back from college. A new world opened up.

Gee this thing actually has more power than a reasonable person needs, stops on a third of a dime, and holds a corner like a slot car. I'm Superman now! Did I mention it is frigg'n comfortable with the Genmar risers and Corbin seat? Compared to these, riding a cruiser is like taking a beating.

My kid's 90 has the Red, White and Blue like CBRclassic's. I call it "Captain America" (appologies to those down under )

Well my wife is ignoring me, so I have some time to post. I guess I'm a little lonesome with the kid back in college. I've signed up for a couple of riding groups around here (Houston, Texas) but haven't gone out yet. My wife won't get on one (she's one of THOSE).

My friends are all a bunch of (what's a good Brit/Aussie word for a pu$$y?) "women" who don't ride.

On that topic, my current favorite show is TopGear on BBC America. Those guys are hilarious.

Ok, now that was more than you wanted to know. Wasn't it.
