motorcycles are wonderful.

i don't live in the same los angeles as the rest of you. parking is never a problem. i've never had a commute take more than twenty minutes. $40 a week on gas. there are roads, whole regions of california that only riders seem to know about. couldn't really stand to live in this town if i had to drive a car.

it's not just a weekend toy. bikes are a viable way of life out here.

monsters are kind of common. every wanker wannabe actor north of franklin has one. but the S4R was done right. good engine, and decent suspension, finally. i don't know about the "easy to work on" thing. but they are easy to modify. there's a huge aftermarket. keep an eye open. i see 996s, 748s, and ST4s for cheap sometimes.
