Get this... a four-wheel, 500hp V10 motorcycle. I just have one question: does it come with a transmitter that notifies your next of kin upon impact?

Seems strange to call a four wheeled vehicle a motorcycle. To each his own, I suppose.

I'd suggest that signing your organ donor card be mandatory in order to ride one of these, but i'm not sure i'd want an organ that had to be scraped off the tarmac with a trowel.

When I used to race the superbike on skyline (HW 9/35). There is a Motorcycle shop across from alices. Every so often on the weekend there would be this REALLY old guy with skinny arms on a custom bike. Had a Chevy V8 Engine built into a custom frame, with a really big rear truck tire. The noise itself drowned out harleys, and to see the look on that old mans face when he hit the throttle and took off..was priceless.

Check it out sometime if you want to see some awesome motorcycles, and a nice day in the woods (it's in La Honda). Maybe you will see the guy with a big shit eating grin on his face and a motorcycle 10x his size.

I wouldn't be surprised if he had a shit-eating grin on his face; i expect a lot of asshole `cyclers with TOO FUCKING LOUD bikes eat shit as part of their regular diet. It fits in with the rest of their charm.

I assume that was directly thrown at me. So what if I had a D&D exhaust tossing out 110db at full throttle, and you could hear it blocks and blocks away. I got it for the addition of HP not the noise :-P

Not thrown merely at you, but it's still bloody inconsiderate.

I used to live up beyond La Honda, even deeper in the woods, and I have to say: I can understand the lure of speed, particularly on the tight turns and sheer drops of that road. I can understand the joy of a day in the woods. But why on earth do people have to defile the redwood forest with those ungodly loud engines? It's like vomiting on the Mona Lisa.
