I want a bike badly. But I'd probably end killing someone.

nice!
my first bike, was like this 68' guzzi, but black tank and black body. it died about 7 months after i bought it. piston problem, that eventually blew the main gasket. it would've cost me thousands to rebuild the motor. scrapped it for parts.
i remeber my biking day's when i was younger, i was a baddass with the spiderman bike. Hell's angels aint on this.

Calgary is nextdoor to BC isn't it? Be some awesome dirt bike country up there, lucky git. I used to fly around on a quad bike when I helped out at a paintball site doing marshalling but I was only 16 and never really had the balls to open it right up.
That bike seckle posted is stunning. Reminds me of the Norton Commando which is a beautiful bike:

Thailand is full of Old School Ricers right now. Refurbished in a most immaculate fashion.

I don't like a lot of modern bikes, especially the Nippon ones. I like the old ones with tubular steal, chrome in the right places, round speed dials, and being able to see the behemoth of an engine. I also quite like Olivetti scooters
My old man, before he married my Thai mother, was a Mod with foxtails and a thousand mirrors on his bike, something a bit like this, hahaha. It was him who got me into bikes but also told me I could never have one - he nearly killed himself and my mother a few times so...
