Re: Self-defense!
F Yamaha. Any company that designs a motorcycle that requires you remove a pipe to get to change the oil filter is worthless and unfit for future discussion.
Not to mention the fact that the R1 is the most uncomfortable bike in the history of uncomfortable bikes....
I could go on to talk about the fact that you can find smoother trannies at a party at Kpaul's... I could even mention the idiots that put the plugs on the very front of the old FZR engine, just to make sure they got as much debris as possible in the cylinders.
I would never own an Aprilia, or a Yamaha... to me... a motorcycle is only interesting... if it actually runs.

Yama sucks.
I've ridden a 2002 R1 quite a bit. my right leg cramps up every time I get on the dang thing.
As for not complaining about sportbikes, that's probably because the honda sportbike I own allows access to the filter without removing any body work (1000f). Same for the Kawi bikes I've had experience with.
I agree that itialian and harly tannies suck worse, but is that your definition of quality? It's not the worst thing out there, so it must be good?
On the FZR, you don't get debris in there when the plugs are in. The angle of the thing however makes it practically impossible to keep debris from going in when you change the plugs though.
Nitpicky? Sure.. I can take off that pipe in 10 minutes... and it takes 20 seconds to blow all that debris away with my compressor...
I don't think it's nitpicky. I think it shows a lack of attention in the design stage. We all go by our own experiences. Mine with Yamaha and Aprilia have been terrible, while my experiences with Honda and Kawi have been excellent.

Re: There you go again not reading what I say.
Newsflash: The vast majority of republicans... Including both Bush, and McCain... are liberals. There are no conservatives anymore. There is only one Bi-Factional Ruling Party. It just disagrees with itself about how far left we should go, and how fast.
What I wrote was based on your previous posts about helmet laws.
on an aside... why don't ya email sometime and tell me where you find the words "Seperation of Church and State" in the Consitution.

Re: The Constitution for Dummies and the Kept Man (egg_beater)
Ah.. SO a few black robes say it says it, so it must say it.
Please explain nancyboy how "Congress Shall Make No Law" has anything to do with State Governments?
I wonder if you are even aware that at the time the Constitution was Ratified 9 states had established State Religions, and continued to keep them for years after.
Didn't teach you that in government school did they?
