>>>>Tell ya what - 6 months and I still cant put weight on my right leg....so much for motorbikes. Problem isn't so much the bike - it's the other idiots on the road. I need something safer - like a nice 70's Lotus Europa for example. (now picture the girly girls in my house with hands on hips, tapping foot, and look of utter contempt as I attempt to explain that).

>>>now imagine such a beauty after too close contact with a one of the typical urban women wearing an SUV in the inner city... Europa's middle engine would not have helped if the car was not light as a feather due to Polly Ester design ;-)

>>Well yes ...and plus I'm on tiny island - can't get going that fast out here. Just happened to ..uhhh.. stumble across this https://lasvegas.craigslist.org/cto/4443256825.html ..hmm they have direct cheap flights... (foot tapping now replaced with stomping and pacing)

>as you are on Hawaii and love middle engine, why not go totally cliche and opt for Magnum PI horse power ? OTOH Polly Ester is less likely to have rust spots spoiling that typical red...

I like the 308's they share many traits (A/C dont work and neither do the wndshild wipers if the headlights are on etc) and parts with my beloved X/19's (check the doorhandles sometime ha..) and the Bertone styling...umm hey this is less than 10G's. He has the specs all wrong but hey I know what it is I can book a direct flig (now is yelling)
