Well, what can I say... I love the two strokes but did not enjoy holes in pistons, stranded by the side of the road, motors siezing on the highway, tankslapping headshake, hinge in the frame under the seat, brakes that do nothing, going on a trip with one bag for clothes another with tools and spare parts... etc. etc...
Not to sound like a hater but when every ride required a back up plan for how to get home, I stopped enjoying the ride.
That being said, I finally stepped up and grabbed the machine I have been drooling over for a while. I know it is the antithesis of everything on this site (at least its not a Harley!) but I plan on keeping a smoker or two in the stable.

"Bighole" used to refer to all of the pistons I've holed, now it refers to my wallet!!! :lol

Excellent choice.

Does that mean I have to come over and empty that barn some time soon?

Ya know Richard... it has been a while since I've seen ya...
As a matter of fact, pretty much everything is for sale now. I am still debating about holding on to the grey cafe buffalo...

Now would be a good time to twist my arm however!
