#1 "Be My Baby" by the Ronettes It's at the beginning of the movie "Dirty Dancing" and they could have cut the rest of the movie and I would be happy. Besides Ronnie Bennett was ultimate to boot! #2 "Johnny B Good" by Chuck Berry This needs no statement. #3 "Twist and Shout" by the Beatles John Lennon (all of the Beatles I guess) took screaming to a plateau that will never be reached again. #4 " Mustang Sally" by Wilson Pickett The Wicked Pickett was pretty d**n good. #5 "Gimme Some Lovin' " by The Spencer Davis Group. Steve Winwood at 17 singing this NO WAY!!!! WAY!!!!!!!! p.s. this is better thinking than car companies,economic implosion, and political polarization.

I am my self-employed....

Is the swingarm shorter on the red frame bikes? Could a person get a (if the former is true) longer swingarm from a 02 & up to change this trait ?

Do NOT post things like this during work hours!!!!!!

I read too many "Penthouse Letters" in Penthouse. It held my attention more than W. Faulkner.

That's not cynical that's (and observant) realistic.

I guess somebody in the EPA had family members that owned a catalytic convertor factory?

Sophia!!!! Probably the ALL time hottest Italian woman ! WOW ! So voluptuous...

DAN, You are not alone in this sympathy for European machines. You Know that legislators vote to do what their contributor$ want. You know these people voting wouldn't know a motorcycle from a "Ferris Wheel", someone wants their (all) share of the biking industry. Asians build technology and Europeans build character....

What years were the red frames ?

Here in the US all organic (non-pesticide) grown food products are much more expensive!

I forgot to mention I have had to throw away some expensive trash. I also spent a week trying to fix a washing machine. After siphoning 4 tubs of water from "Christine" and going to the laundry mat I treated myself to a NEW washer.

In Kentucky we turn the motorcycle upside down like a bicycle.

It's always been that way...

Catylic convertors were made to completely burn any unburned gases. These things require a warm-up time to start working effeciently. This is just about the time you normally get where you are going. A "closed loop" system which uses an O2 sensor is the most effecient type of fuel injection because it monitors the burned gas process to see if it is lean or rich. Unfortunately the O2 sensor has to be hot before it starts working. This is why some O2 sensors use a 4 wire sensor that has a heater built in to start the sensor working quicker. ".

They wil..

Do NOT be intimidated to take something apart. There is an excellent chance someone dumber than you assembled it. Their advantage is familiarity and repetition. If you have never ben hit in the face with a clockspring you are not an adventurer. Get a manual, become familiar with the vernacular, disassemble things slowly and spread them out on a clean flat surface so none of your pets or friends can disturb anything. Do not be afraid to ask questions. I consulted with Traxxion and got new springs for ME and my 245lb. soon to be >200lb. body. The Marzocchi forks were VERY simple to rebuild... DO read the manual so you will not take them apart 12 times just 10 or less.

Ratch, I love your rhetoric! Keep it coming...

I am going from experience. When I was young I put Champion plugs in my 70 Mustang because I wanted the best. About 1000 miles and it missed out at high rpms. After 3 sets I went back to Motorcraft. Now I TRY to use what came from the factory.

Easily remedied, ease off the throttle before 270 and 450 degrees of every other crankshaft revolution to ease this shock.

A sprk plug is a spark plug is a spark plug.....but I buy the OEM recommended brand period. I don't know anything about this brand but any gimmick spark plug is a gimmick.

And this is 5% of what the US govt. gave the c**ksuckers at Fannie Mae,Freddie Mae and AIG (with NO strings attched) to squander away. I think someone stated the govt. could give EVERY taxpayer $1m each and come out cheaper.

Get a breast lift!

I don't know. I don't raise cattle.

Charlie, Don't be afraid to buy. You will probably buy a V11 Sport naked. Then a Rosso Corsa because the paint scheme is HOT. Then (just because) you will get a Ballabio.After that you will see a Coppa Italia you can't live without. Then comes the levers,brake rotors,exhaust,PowerCommander,wheels,carbon fiber,etc.. p.s. any naked bike looks better than one with a fairng!
