OS, I was torn between 1 and 5 but chose #3 because I love to turn up the wick when approaching a corner and turn it up more in the corner.

LOL!

I kinda felt that way when I got my HD Half Mile Jacket and wore it home for the first time!

I liked a cool leather vest that was at Cycle Gear, but even with the poser dial turned up to 11, I just couldnt bring myself to actually buy and wear it. Perhaps if I rode some billet barge I could...

I voted 1 because it is most of what I do even in traffic jams...can't go fast even when dribbling between the cars.

Like workin It, as In bikes can really move about In and through traffic
If your **** Is Tight and you know what your doing.

The challenge Is being surrounded by cagers all tryin ta kill ya at the
same time and your just one cool cookie.
All relaxed but alert,,
Seeing It all,
No cager can surprise you when your In the zone.

If I'm Inna bad mood I stay the hell away from my Sporty.
I can get a little crazy on It and not In a good way.

Last time I went out pissed off and stressed out a cager did something
stupid and I almost got off the bike to have a word with him.
Too many people got guns down here,,not many have brains.
Then I ragged on the bike by poppin a wheelie..
I can't afford to tear this bike up,,,,,
