I have taken to watching every motorcycle race that comes on Speed. Of course, this makes me what to buy another bike. I used to ride a Kawasaki 750 LTD when I was a teenager. I actually lived through that experience. I have my eye on the new Yamaha R series bikes. They are so fast in the races. But reality will probably have me getting a Honda Interceptor or Yamaha 600R. I don't think my neck could take the hunched over 'racing' position for more than an hour at a time. We'll see.
