    A Two-Wheeled Ferrari

    A most tantalising creation yet seen:

    *If a man wants God to hear his prayer quickly, then before he prays for anything else, even his own soul, when he stands and stretches out his hands towards God, he must pray with all his heart for his enemies. Through this action God will hear everything that he asks* -Abba Zeno-

    *Protagoras: "Truth is subjective. What is true for you, and what is true for me, is true for me. Your opinion is true by virtue of its being your opinion."

    *Socrates: "My opinion is: Truth is absolute, not opinion, and that you are in absolute error. Since this is my opinion, then according to your philosophy you must grant that it is true."

    That looks like a going bomb. It probably carries a Ferrari price, too.

    Right now in the lounge of our Elks lodge (Santa Maria, CA #1538) There's a Harley-Davidson that the motorcycle group is going to raffle off. They do one each year. It's all black with some various trim, and the price on what would normally be a window sticker is right at $20,000.

    You couldn't get me on a motorcycle for all the rice in China and a few other countries. I've seen and known of too many incidents with them, and they were not pretty.

    That is some machine there, not sure I would want to ride it. I wonder what it's top speed is? It looks just like a rich person's toy, perhaps they will only manufacture a set number.

    There's nothing better than being crashed at 300 km/h. Does it have airbags?

    Awwww, what a wonderful design!! These are surely not the serial models - smth. made by a special request, I believe, like the DB tuned by Brabus!

    I am not a fan of motorbikes. A friend of mine had a minor accident this Autumn - he had flown app. 5 meters and had hit the road sign ! He had very seriously damaged his left hand, both legs ( and that damn road sign, of course ) and must walk using the crutches till now. And he was very happy he had not made a widow of his wife!

    So, the motorbikes are great toys, but let them stay in the window!

    Ditto here. I have a friend who works at Vandenburg Air Force Base. He decided to buy a cycle. Leaving VAFB one day, he looked off at something, lost control, and slid off on his left side. Dislocated his left shoulder and messed up his left arm. Just recently had surgery to fix up the shoulder, and is now in therapy.

    No, not another widow case, but bad enough.
