This is what I WISH I rode. I really ride something much smaller. And older. But it's still a ride and I LOVE IT! I know I know I'm gonna' end up in the trauma unit - or quad - or something. I do wear all the protective gear and I have taken all the safety classes and I don't go on the freeway. Of course I don't go on the freeway because my 250 won't go fast enough that I'm comfortable - not that I wouldn't go on the freeway if I had the above beautiful machine!
