Wow golly gee whiz! I've never seen that picture before.

Yeah. I'll meet you at Thunderhill, and we'll "rumble." Sigh...did you assume I have some Italian sportbike and nothing else? I ride a V-Rod now you stupid ass. They get mentioned all the time in NHRA. But turning isn't exactly in the cards for those bikes. So have fun lapping by yourself because I won't be there. Funny you should mention MV Agusta. Some of the very biggest posers ever I've seen are guys who have one. They're more proud about how rare it is than how well they can ride. And the 999R? Any one of them that you see will probably never be ridden to it's full potential because the owner fears wadding a $30k bike...so yeah you could beat one. If I still had my RC51, I still wouldn't race you. I know I'm a decent rider. Haven't gone down in 12 years with almost 4 more years experience on top of that. Can you say that for yourself? Probably not since I'm over 5 years older than you and I've got nothing to prove to you junior.

As far as what you want to say about the light bulbs...you missed what I was trying to tell you. So I'll give you the short version. You either compromise light output, bulb life, and/or legality. If your bulbs really are brighter than stock, and I do mean brighter...not just what you think is brighter because it looks whiter on the ground, then they are running much hotter. Look at the wattages for the bulbs. Odds are it's probably close to 90w. Which will burn them out three times as fast and possibly melt the housings like I already said.
