DagDisco, VERY jealous of your GS, I love those bikes.

Beautiful day here, changed the oil in 5 different motors and rotated a few sets of tires. Unfortunately the bikes are going into hibernation until the spring, at least the boy does his own maintenance.

I guess you missed my attempt at humor by calling sports cars "ass rockets" .

There are different types of sport bikes dependent on the country of origin and common local food as follows:

Rice rocket
Kraut rocket (I am partial to these since it my country of origin)
Pasta rocket
Bangers and mash rocket (my personal ride)

Haven't come up with a good one for an American sport bike now that Erik Buell is back at it.

We don't get may sunny months over here, but there is a lot of us Boxster owners on BoXa.net over here in the UK that have got motorbikes.
Here's the last two I have had.
Yamaha R6

Ducati 947

I got this Yellow phase going on at the moment the Ducati was a stable mate for the Boxster and the wife's Mini makes a nice set,
