Roxy blitzes the Queens-Midtown tunnel on the Ducati Streetfighter.  now, what'd you think of that thing?

Pogo, what is that thing?  Some kind of ride on plow?

The streetfighter was cool, but hard to judge because they had it at a 45 degree angle.  I tried to see if I could "drag knee", but no matter how far I hung off, my knee was still several inches off the ground, lol!

I was already carrying a big bulky purse to hold all my medications, so what's throwing a camera in there, lol!  It's sad, but I've graduated to "grandma purses".

^  Thank you, now I understand the Star Wars comment.

I saw the original and the next two, but I was a kid then.  We're talking like 30 years ago now.  Was this thing in the original?  It really does look like a plow with 2 moldboards on each side.

Hey, I live on a farm!  In my life's experience, that's what it looks like, lol!  I'll stop now.

Try to remember I'm a woman (we don't seem to get into Star Wars as much as you guys) and I'm 41 now.  As I said, I saw the original 3 in the theater, and have never seen them again.

Check out this picture:

Lol!  Can you tell me honestly that those things on the Stormtrooper mobile aren't moldboards?

Bikegirl doesn't like the pee cups mounted on the handlebars.  She needs blacked out boxes for the front brake fluid.

Don't worry, bikegirl, if your next bike has pee cups, I'll create you a designer brake fluid box!

If you're calling it a pee cup, then clearly you need to pee. May I suggest the shenis? http://www.shenis.com/

My CBR has the old skool black rectangular brake fluid container. Sunlight degrades brake fluid (hence the 'cozy'). Why did they start making the containers semi-opaque?

i'd surmise the plastic "opaque" is cheaper to produce ...its all about the $$$ on the manufacturer level.

other benefits include lighter weight and see thru...the ability to  monitor fluid level instantly from any angle.

the shenis? .....no comment, don't know, don't want to know. on occasion..ignorance IS bliss  Wink 

                                            and this seems to be one of those occasions  Roll Eyes

The shenis is a great invention for those of us who ride offroad for many hours! 

Too bad we didn't know you were there, Cornbreadxd.  We had a great time!
