    Hey, sorry I've been out of it for a while. The facility I work at in Portland, and the one I support in Seattle, was purchased by another company... and the transition has been a PITA! Luckily, though, they offered me a job, so I'm ok there.

    The Guzzi is SWEET! No, I haven't seen it. I was SERIOUSLY looking at a Guzzi Centauro at one point, as well as a V11 Basa. But when it came down to it, money wise, warranty wise, I ended up buying an '05 Suzuki Boulevard C50. I need to post pics. I've lowered it 2.5", taken off the pillion seat and added a small curved rack... looks nice. I'd like to start "un"-chroming some things and blacking them out... like some blacked-out exhaust pipes I'm modding, the air filter housing, bars and risers.

    We'll see. Nice Guzzi!

    I have owned an 82 Suzuki GS850 since 1992. Still ride it, although a little less since I bought the VX.

    What's everyone think of the Honda Valkyrie Rune? :-)

    About the Rune... you'll get a lot of people called it the 'Ruined', but I gotta say Honda had some large cajones to put out a factory custom like that.

    It's big, but in person, it's awe inspiring!

    Too big...too heavy...too expensive...to bling-bling to be taken seriously. (but no bike can ever be too fast.)

    Anybody catch the recent episode of Monster Garage where Jessie James was trying to cram a Hyabusa engine with turbo into a go-cart frame? That's insane. That wouldn't work with a stock 'Busa engine. Shame to see a decent drive train go up in flames.
