Haha, thanks guys.
She doesn't want 2 bikes and a car. Maybe I push forward the financing idea which would make it more feasible and also the "winding through the southern Italy" on a guzzi"

I don't have the experience to weigh in on relationships like that, but this is the way I see it. A relationship is a two-way road, and when you tie the knot you can't always have everything you want. However, if the woman you love is ready to bring the entire relationship down to what vehicles you own, and make that the center of everything that is wrong, then she isn't worth having.
I have started to work on my Buell myself and it is surprisingly easy. The bike is much more reliable now that the dealership doesn't touch it. Who would have thought?

My girlfriend is terrified that when I get a motorcycle I'll die, but for some reason she'd rather me have a bike over the '77 Firebird I almost bought.

Yay, I now have roughly half of the money saved up so I will be able to buy a motorcycle. Hopefully I will be buying around January.

How does "Moto Monthly" sound as the title of a motorcycle news website?

That's because the center of gravity is lower than the other 600s. Honda's pretty good about paying attention to that, ever since the first Goldwing 1000 - which "felt" like a 750 of the day.

Either take the food back home with me, or take off the helmet and sit down for a little bit. I don't try to eat through the helmet.

Found these videos on YouTube. They are from a show called "Twist the Throttle." It shows an inside look of the bike factories like Honda, Suzuki, Bimota, Ducati etc. It's pretty good for knowledge but not so good for entertainment. And the host/narrator keeps saying Twist the Throttle over and over. Still it's worth watching.
Here's the link the the shows(embedding is disabled). http://www.youtube.com/view_play_lis...4036A19F2945B9 |

Really? The Suzuki GSX-R 600 feels even lighter to me. Now that I think of it the older GSX-1000 felt lighter than the CBR600RR as well.
