I'll let you in on a little secret. I can tell a lot about a person by the motorcycle they ride. Mary is the proud owner of a fine example of American Iron and also some Italian exotica. Italians are true motorsport enthusiasts and have a long history of motorcycle design excellence. This fine combination of motorcycles shows that she is a complex person of considerable sophistication and a strongly ingrained sense of loyalty. She tends to be attracted to genuine types. I could get more detailed but I usually charge for a bike reading. Matt, on the otherhand, has a Japanese knockoff of American Iron, and not a very good one at that. Owners of Japanese copies of American Iron usually exhibit considerable insecurities and thus are attracted to the legendary reliable qualities of Japanese machinery while still retaining some measure of a "macho" image. The fact that the VTX has an incredible 1800 cc's and yet only produces around 85 hp. at the rear wheel is typical of an owner that, how can I put this politely, ummm, has a small one eyed snake that is reluctant to come out and play. When it is enticed out, it tires rapidly. The fact that it weighs an incredible 753 lbs. and has the longest wheelbase of just about any production motorcycle means that it handles more like a truck than a cycle. This is an indication of an owner that is overweight and not very nimble with the opposite sex. The fact that it has a shaft is suggestive of an owner that is lazy and has little knowledge of mechanics. In the bedroom this would likely translate to wham-bam-thank-you-mam style of interaction and that is assuming the shaft is not indicative of homosexual tendencies. The VTX has more raw torque than any other motorcycle. This is indicative of an owner with a severe power trip, a control freak if you prefer. I could go on but unfortunately it deteriorates from here due to the unbalanced nature of the Honda VTX 1800...<g> In light of the above professional bike reading I think you should be reluctant to brag about your bike of choice and, as you can see, any similarities between your bike and Mary's ends at the fact that they both have two wheels. ;-) Bux

You really bought that big bike? Sure daddy didn't have to ride it home for you? ;-) Don't do anything crazy. That's a powerful bike. Keep the shiny side up. If you ever make it to LA, maybe I'll take you for a little sight seeing in the canyons. Bob's not invited :-P
