- Bad habit. :) I'll stand behind my belief that crashing is a great,
- if not extremely dangerous, learning experience. It took me twice to
- realize my '77 CB750F wasn't a CBR600F2, but I did learn and stopped
- trying to keep up with those folks. I learned that it really doesn't
- matter who gets to the finish line first, but who looks the best. With
- duct-tape stylishly placed on The Mighty CB750F, I clearly win. And
- that's what's important when you get right down to it -- me winning. :)
-
- (actually, this is the real reason I'm moving to Japan: getting that
- monster of a bike out of ditches is really tough! I need a lighter
- bike to crash. :)
