" As motorcyclists gain experience, their rides tend to become less stylish and uglier, much like the rider himself"

You seem to know what your talking about Gabe, but how am I supposed to find an uglier bike than the one I've already got? VWW

Longride, check out the new edition of CW. They have a nice write up on the trip. Be sure to take a look at the small picture on the contents page, Talk about your tail light dragging wheelie! Of course when you read it, it'll just make you all the more frustrated. Sorry, VWW

I think you mean the 1200CL. If I ever get ugly enough to merit a bike like that I'll consider plastic surgery. VWW
