Didn't he realize it was bicycle parking only?

Thanks for the info!

I don't know what to say Jean-Marc! I can only hope for you that this turns out well.

Who cares who the winner is. With my ability to drive either a car or bike at a great rate of knots on a track I would feel like a winner just having the chance to operate either vehicle.

Agreed. Like night and day! Old Yale Brewing in Chilliwack has a stout now. Quite tasty! It makes beer more than just a breakfast drink!

No but it looks very interesting. Longer connecting rods and shorter pistons. I can't tell if the compression is different. I wonder what the cost is and what changes need to be done to the engine.

Well try this one anyways! Heli game!

I love the google translation! Espèce de loup-garou à la graisse de renoncule de milles tonnerre de Brest! Species of werewolf to the grease of buttercup of miles thunder of Brest!

Jaap is really gonna get ya fer this one!

It means the bike is not placable! Simple!

I have this!

I didn't even know that thread was there til this morning so I had to say something.

They use "Homo" in the dairy section at all the grocery stores so thats good enough for me.

He's trying it again. MGS ebay

I find "Twinky eatin' homo" works well for my needs.

I found this game from the British Broadcorping Castration that is close to what I do. Substitute logs for the humans and cows and it is close. Enjoy! Helicopter Rescue Game

Like the GIF's that TX uses for a signature I suppose.

Mine was a Puch.

WHOOOOHOOOOO!!! My first point!!!!!!!! I feel like I'm such a star now!

A Suzuki Burg(er)man?

BMW MOTORRAD AND APRILIA S.P.A. SIGN CO-OPERATION CONTRACT Munich, 15 March 2005 - BMW Motorrad and Aprilia S.p.A., Noale, Italy (Piaggio Group), have successfully completed talks regarding a renewed collaboration in the motorcycle sector. A co-operation contract in the areas of development and production was signed in Munich, concerning a new product offer which will add in the future to the market segments currently covered by BMW. Production is due to take place in the Italian Aprilia plants at Noale and Scorzè near Venice. From 1993 up until the end of 1999, Aprilia has been manufacturing the first generation of the very successful single cylinder F 650 for BMW Motorrad. Production of the successor model was then moved to the BMW Motorrad plant in Berlin. Herbert Diess, Head of BMW Motorrad, stated: "This is a further extension of BMW's motorcycle range. Models of the existing single cylinder series (F Series) are not affected by these developments. Among other things, we see this co-operation as a key contribution to the reinforcement of the European motorcycle and supply industry". For the BMW Group, collaborations of this type are useful tools for freeing its own resources for other strategic goals. "Time to market" and profitability are key elements when making decisions about extending production capacity through outsourcing processes. Aprilia S.p.A., which since December 30, 2004, is 100% controlled by the Piaggio Group (Pontedera, Pisa, Italy), will bring to the co-operation agreement its development and production capabilities in the motorcycle sector. "This co-operation will further consolidate the total volume of components manufactured for the BMW Group in Italy. In 2004, this was worth around 420 million euros (including 62 million euros concerning motorcycles), thus making Italy one of the most important supplier countries of the BMW Group", said Marco Saltalamacchia, President of BMW Italia. "The agreement with BMW Motorrad confirms Aprilia's reputation and technological and design capabilities", said Roberto Colaninno, Chairman of both Piaggio Group and Aprilia. "For us it is a further significant step in the recovery process of Aprilia as one of the most important motorcycle brands and manufacturers in Italy and Europe, since its acquisition by Piaggio". Rocco Sabelli, Piaggio and Aprilia Chief Executive Officer, also pointed out that "European companies' ability to compete in the global markets is enhanced by such co-operations, which ultimately aim to optimise investments in R&D as well as product and technology innovation".

I'm not telling in case my wife reads this!

Mine is definitely a gas version. The manual specifies premium grade unleaded petrol, min. O.N. 95 (RON) and 85 (MON). The best available here is 94 (RON) so I have to run race gas for now. It sure smells great though!

Definitely a Munch Mammoth! (It sounds so much more appropriate in English!)

Dang! And I already bought one. He sure seems pretty vague on the background of the bike.
