You really don't have a clue, do you? Since you don't understand, let me explain to you just how my life works; I am a misanthrope therefore you are irrelevant. When (and IF ) you ever do become relevant to me then you may offer advice to me; however, since you are obviously intellectually challenged (the politically correct way to say that you're stupid), I'd probably be better off ignoring anything you have to offer me in the way of advice since it wouldn't be worth the air it took to deliver. Now, because you have no direct bearing whatsoever in my life, the chance of you spontaneously becoming relevant to me in some capacity (thus having any impact at all in determining how I live my life) is about as likely as Janet Reno putting on black thigh highs, a black thong and appearing as next month's centerfold in Penthouse magazine.

She pulls 70mph on the highway at an easy 6000 RPM. Whisper quiet unless you gouge on the throttle then it has a nice, authoritative primal roar that you hear about the same time as you notice that you are eating up highway at a velocity close to being considered warp speed, especially when the second battery of four fuel injectors comes online and the engine starts screaming towards its stratospheric 15,000 RPM redline with all eight injectors going into shower mode dumping fuel into the engine. Liquid smooth, no vibration and as sharp as it is at the track, it is as easy to live with on the street. Over 16,000 trouble free miles in two years of ownership so far averaging 42 miles per gallon. All of this while being perfectly bone stock and ridden right off the showroom floor for the paltry sum of just $7500 with no waiting and no ludicrous lifestyle that I had to subscribe to in order to be accepted by others who rode a bike similar to my own. Stock for stock, the Honda CBR600RR will smoke anything produced by Harley Davidson, from the biggest Evo powered Sportsters all the way up to and including the import heart powered V-Rod (which is itself 30 miles per hour slower on the top end, almost two seconds slower in the quarter mile, weighs over 200 pounds more than my bike and costs over twice what my bike cost).

Yes, not only do I currently OWN (and ride the HELL out of) a bike but I ride one of the most advanced, fastest, and best handling production motorcycles in the world (something you obviously cannot in turn claim to do). I've been riding for over 27 years now and have owned many bikes and ridden many others, all different types from domestic to import, on road and off road, therefore I feel that I'm more than entitled to an opinion about motorcycles (and about the kind of people who own those motorcycles), especially if I have to deal with these dullards on a daily basis (and especially if it is my own opinion and not someone else’s opinion). I’m entitled to an original opinion of my own, an opinion based on and backed up by cold, hard facts and research which I have done continuously over the years. These are cold, hard facts which cannot be disputed by you or your kind, no matter how much you rant and rave or how much make-believe store bought bravado you try to bring into the argument.

Now, the last thing that I did notice about your email was the email extension itself: @ AOL.com. Bah. You use America Online which means that you are nothing but a pathetic AOLoser bleating like the sad, indolent sheep that you are. Nothing screams "I AM A MONUMENTAL RETARD" and “THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET ON THE INTERNET IS BY SKIPPING MERRILY THROUGH THE BIGGEST PASTURE OF SUB-MORON PAP KNOWN TO MAN !" than by having an AOL account. Since you obviously don’t understand this, I’ll just rephrase your bit of poorly worded advice and hand it right back to you: “To the prick who uses AOL and doesn't have a real ISP... When you do get a real ISP then you can email me. Until then shut the fuck up.”
