  • Nope.  I have two that are in desperate need of  rebuilds.   So mostly I call them various derogatory names for women out of frustration.

    That's a bit sexist, isn't it?

  • Hmmm..  I guess it can be seen as such. Though the words aren't meant to actually equate them to women or have any real connection to sexist beliefs.  More like when you say F*** it!  You don't actually mean to have sex with it. Just a vulgar expletive to funnel frustration. For better or worse I do have a propensity for throwing vulgarities at objects when I'm at my wits end. I'm not saying I believe or condone demeaning womens' value, just some of those words I fling might start with B, C, and W. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at December 3, 2016 10:18 AM MST

  • "No" ... the name on the license plate is "SEIXY."
                  It's a Benelli 750 Sei (six cylinder)

    Nice!

    I once got to see/hear a Honda CBX up close and personal. Nothing else on two wheels (or four) sounds like a 6-cylinder motorcycle.

  • Like a little Maserati. The CBX was a 1000 cc, where this Benelli is only a 750 cc, but they both sound good. :)
    Another perk is that with the six cylinder crank shaft, there is almost no noticeable engine vibration.
    First time I'm going down the road and come along side an Semi ... I notice that I can't feel the engine vibrating. It's weird and cool. :)
