      I made a generalized comment in regards to some of the mentality that floats around about Harley's and their inability to "handle"...

      I'd like to give that course a try with the ol'XS!

      I see the Japanese have the same type of competition... more autocross oriented though...

                      OK...that's better.

                      Put against each other, the Japs would win hands down.

                      Harley goes Vroom Vroom Scrape scrape, Honda goes Vroom Vroom.......vroom vroom.

                      I would sorely hate to be chased by either though.

                        I still think the Japanese cops don't have the balls to do it on the street in traffic to catch aomeone. The US MC cops would though.
