Like Kamil told me before buying a Ducati 848 last year "the time to buy a motorcycle is before the wife and kids come along". I didn't buy the bike and my wife and kids thank him. Loves me those Confederate bikes though. Absolute art/engineering perfection, and yes, they start around $100k. I asked them via their web page to build a sub $20k 250 for us wanna-be beginners but never got a reply. How cool would that be for commuting and carving up roads. Bob K.

Mostly cause mine is almost exactly the same. Was riding unlicensed (as are 30% of riders) for years. Finally decided to take proactive steps to avoid jail time. Read that stupid book and went to sit for the written. At least 1/2 the questions were about alcohol levels and how plastered I could be while riding. Didn't think they's accept my stock answer of "N/A" as I don't drink. Barely passed. The show was good. Looking at the crowd though, its hard to figure out who's dropping 100k on some of these custom jobs, but I guess that's why we live in a welfare state. Funny story about the bike license.
