I see no reason to mention the brand names here of current cars,
motorbikes, boats, et cetera. BTW, I'm pretty sure my motorbike will
out-accelerate your 'vette to 60 mph and some ways beyond.

That would be your Zimmerman-like bike, right?

Nope, it's Italian, and it's very fast. Faster than your pushrod V8
hawg
car under many conditions, I am sure, though I'm not a skillful enough
rider to wring its best out of it.

I can't do this, but I've seen tests of the same model I have run the
quarter mile in a hair over 10 seconds, with a terminal velocity of
145
mph. How's that hawg 'vette do in the quarter mile?

Bull****, YOU said right here last year that you bought a Kawasaki....


And that was probably a lie as well. As many times as he's said that
no one needs or should have a high perfomance boat, car, etc., you can
be sure he didn't buy a high performance bike or sports car. And if
he did, em would be along in a minute questioning his manhood, right?

This is really some high-dollar entertainment, and for free! :-



Actually, I did buy a Kawasaki, I kept it for a while, more than a
year, and then I sold it to buy an Italian bike, which was my first
preference, but I didn't want to make that sort of investment until I
determined whether I'd still enjoy motorcycling.

My guess is that my non-British sports car accelerates about as fast
as your 'vette, and that you have 10-15 mph top end on me. Maybe, if
your valve train can actually take it. I know my non-Japanese Italian
motorcycle will out-accelerate your 'vette on the straights and in the
right driver's hands (not mine, to be sure), blow you right off any
real sports car racing track. I know that because a model similar to
what I have has been raced against Ferrari's and Lamborghini's and has
come out on top...with a pro motorcycle racer doing the driving.








"Actually" is supposed to mean "this wasn't a lie"? WAFA!
