This one is nothing like an oversize. And the new bikes half it's size will leave these in the dust MrP . 20 years old behind the throttle is a recipe for disaster. Stop by a dealer and test ride a new 750, holy cow those things will give you motion sickness. Smooth and quiet, but deceivingly fast. I have ridden those, stupid fast. Love the Harley VRod but I bought a 1200 Sportster to carry on the back of the motorhome and really like that bike. Love the feel of the V-Twin.........................MrP Harley sounds like the ticket. Hard to go wrong with it. |

jamesp Rode my nephew's 250 crouch rocket. I didn't think it would have much but when I took the r's all the way to red and pulled gears it was way more then I expected. Just an air pump powered by fuel and it is amazing what small CC and CI engines can do these days. The right car with a V6 will put a woopin on a lot of older V8's................................MrP

James jamesp, ever eat at College Park Crab Pot? The last time we were in Atlanta we ate there. Kinda a sketchy neighborhood at night, but the seafood was well worth it!!! Run by a great family. I asked the owner "so you guys don't get many white folk in here?" He said "not after dark". He insisted on walking us to our car and said "they still have some respect for the elders like me, so you are good". we had to laugh, partly out of gratefulness. I highly recommend this place, but do like the locals and park on the sidewalk by the front door at night. |

Taking a nice tour like that and putting the bike in them is lots better than the ones you see with a gnome, enjoyed the ride.

Motorcycle engines continued to get so powerful yet maintain reliability, may have been a learning base. High revving electronically controlled breathing machines. Honda 100 trail bike even has a bunch of grunt. |

Have seen The Crab Pot but never stopped in due to the hood. Always been a crime area. However, best and freshest seafood from the Gulf gets shipped to Atlanta. Gulf fisherman fall all over themselves to get their catch to the large high paying Atlanta market. That I know first hand. You can avoid imported seafood in Atlanta. Wild shrimp vs farm raised is similar to wild salmon vs farm raised salmon. No comparison. Next time, Witchburner's, on Virgina Avenue right next t the airport. |

Some of those photos were taken within sight of what looked like serious photographers. Lots of that going on. Atlanta becoming a film mecca. I need to look into being a film location agent, know about every back alley of that town. |

Get there early !! |
