I think the bar looks badass. I was just pointing out the possible safety issue. It's ironic to get hurt by the very thing that you install to keep you from getting hurt.

I believe that roll-bar would hurt somebody only if the seatbelt wasn't being used...

So today my Dad bought my Miata from me since he's been wanting something fun.

And I bought this.

2000 Honda VFR800, 17,400 miles. Definitely the nicest thing I've ever owned, and V4s are the best.

So now I have the truck and two motorcycles, and can still drive the Miata if I feel like it (deal is if I take the Miata, my dad gets to drive the truck ).

Pretty sure I was just making fun of your fat 'Busa. But this bike is over 500lbs too, so...

I still don't really like heavy bikes, what I really wanted to but was a ~400cc dual sport or supermoto, but I need something that I can commute on. The VFR is fuel injected, and being a sport tourer it'll eat highway miles pretty well. I rode it 35 miles to the shop at school last night and still felt fresh even though I'm sick, 35 miles on the CB isn't quite so pleasant.

Good Luck Dan, I went through that phaze, almost died, can live to talk about it. Be careful.
