In the day we sweat it out
On the streets of a
Runaway American dream
At night we ride through
Mansions of glory
In suicide machines
Sprung from cages
On highway nine
Chrome wheels fuel injected
and steppin' out over the line ....The Mach III ... mythical, legendary sucide machine. Nearly took myself out the very first time I rode one. Yes, lined up straight, clear road ahead. Snapped the throttle and found myself sitting on the fender, with the tailight having saved me from sliding all the way off.
Owned a fair number of R5 and RD Yamabangers (was always tryin to go prod. racing). Last scoot was a '79 CBX [with the equally suicidal peanut butter frame (can you say tank slappers at 85mph?]. Road tested one or two others in my late twenties (VFR, and an RZ), but never rode (or bought) again [well there was that rented scooter one summer on Corfu, that I tossed (and the internal dialogue is always the same: man ... that mofo'ing pavement is hard)].
