If your going to put a motorcycle link, put one that's good,

dc cruisers is about 15 mins from my house. The bikes they have are unbelievable (provided that you have 30k+ to drop on a bike)

I am in physical pain looking at these images.
This thread is in serious need of a few real bikes. Here is just one example of the great bikes that comes out of dc cruisers.

Curious3141 said:Bikes are OK, but I never had that much fascination with them for some reason. Now, cars on the other hand...
wolram said:It is broken
Curious3141 said:Huh? That's the door!
Do you recognise that car, BTW? Do you know you are in the presence of greatness and genius and perfection?
cyrusabdollahi said:Curious, that car is junk.
Bugatti Veyron would leave it for dust!

Cool!wolram said:I agree with Curious3141, you americans never did find out how to make
cars turn, :tongue2: and i was only joshing Curious, i would love a Mc.
brewnog said:The thing which bugs me about cars like the Veyron and the F1 is that they've just had so much money thrown at them. Gold lined engine bays? That's not engineering, that's being ridiculous! Sure, they're competent, but completely unaffordable. If you're going to ogle at a vehicle it may as well be something which is within your grasp.
Now a Caterham CSR260, 0-60 in 3.1 seconds, will go round corners much faster than the Veyron, and costs about the same as a Mondeo. Plus it looks far better than most cars costing 3 times as much.

wolram said:Wow, i thought i was an oily nut but you are the oily nut and bolt
i am into F1, but the cars you mention are not in my ken, do you have some pics ?
I agree with brewnog on this. I put function and performance over form. However, form is important in the sense of aerodynamics which does influence traction.brewnog said:The thing which bugs me about cars like the Veyron and the F1 is that they've just had so much money thrown at them.

I'm actually surprised that as a Brit, you're not familiar with most of these - I believe they're all made in Britain, which is a *great* place for focused kit cars and no-nonsense sports cars. TVR, which is one of the better known British sports car brands, is one of my favorite makes as well.
I'm pretty much into cars. Can't afford one of these machines unfortunately, Singapore levies taxes on all cars, making them easily three times as expensive here as in the US or UK. I drive a highly modified Subaru WRX, my dad drives an Evo (Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII GT-A) and a 2nd gen Lotus Elan turbo SE. We've pretty much always had one fast car or so around the house, including a 911 many years back. The only crappy car in the house belongs to my mom, that's a Kia Picanto.

Evo said:Wow the testosterone level in here has gone off the meter.
I think someone did a V-16, probably an aircraft engine. I think someone did a bike with one or two Allsion V-12's.brewnog said:V12? Pathetic!
Now, that MTT is a nice bike! :tongue2:brewnog said:How about a Rolls Royce Allison gas turbine?
