...sounds like my cat.

On another subject, California HD in Harbor City (Ghost Town) wants to make me a smokin' deal on a NOS '02 Firebolt.

Let's see, should I get the City X or the Firebolt....decisions decisions....??? Does the very low price offset the advances made in the last three years? Maybe so, if you're a cheap bastard like me. Or maybe not. Cripes, this is a tough call.

the ergoes on the Firebolt are pretty racy. the S handlebar is worth 2x the money for street riding, and not easy to change over. Firebolt top triple clamp mounts the clip ons, etc...

I was checking on Cycle Trader and it seems as if the Firebolts are practically being given away. I haven't ridden one but the S just feels so right I can't imagine having low clipons on this bike.

Interesting that the first XB model is the least popular.

Actually I've never been a staffer. I've only worked for the occasional free carne asada burrito.

Bah, don't feel bad. I'm soothing my sorrows with liquor and "V Four Victory." Maybe the hooch will help me understand what the hell those people are actually saying.

You heard the man

Alright. I surrender.

Buzz isn't really a "staffer", he's more like a cousin. He's in the MO family, without the conjugal privelage.

He's a "Guest Tester", and we invite him back often, because he's responsible and a good rider. It's that whole responsible thing that precludes him from ever actually making it to full-fledged "staffer" status. He may yet make a motojournalist out of himself, if he can make a few more bad decisions in his life. -Sean

Well, my life must be really boring, because I loved Dust to Glory! I thought the photography was great, the production was great, the commentary was great and the people were interesting and unpretentious. Delightful movie, my 30 year old son also loved it. I have watched it twice! Oh, the music was appropriate, must have been as I did not notice it!
