I have mixed thoughts too on my recent purchase. I just bought a new Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4. I was cruising down the I5 today and could only get it up to 230 MPH, yet the advertisements say it has a top speed of 254. And at that speed I had to stop every 50 miles to fill up the gas tank. Oh yeah, and my neighbor says the two tone red/silver paint job is tacky.

Ive never had a French car before. Am I expecting to much?

As you can expect I’m conflicted. Should I sell it on Craigslist?

Lol. Thought his 883 was a 2003. Poor guy is suffering from DID... Dissociative Identity Disorder.

No, your first bike was a 2016 48, remember?

Hahahaha! THAT is a lot of split personalities! Wait a second, that Street Bob looks eerily familiar from the M8 section....
