I thought Piaggio is THE name and Vespa is something worse

.
I live close to a straight road and there is one stupid f***g guy who rides his bike almost everyday with the lightning speed (and a thunder noise) at about 11PM causing my son to cry in the bed

In many respects a very nice machine...BUT if you don't want to get off your bike with arms numb from the shoulder down, terrible back-ache and partial deafness I would suggest something a little more...British?
Besides, I like a bike with a nice flat comfy seat and an upright position...then the laydee on the back can cuddle up nice & close rather than being suspended screaming four feet above & behind you.
I must concur that Hondas are damn ugly though.
But fellow musicians, be aware of the noise that comes in your helmet when you drive fast... a few hours at 150km/h and your ears will ache
I tried using earplugs once and hated it with a passion. It was like...half the experience had been taken away. My bike's not ridiculously loud or fast though and I really like the roar of the wind.

indeed, nicely cuts the head from the shoulders...
last year someone here in the area found exactly the same solution - it's not as funny as movies make us believe...
cheers, Tom

Bikes are really fun companion...if only I had ne. One day I will..

Excuse me, but the Ducati is more than twice as expensive when new, and more than 4 times as expensive when used (Ducati's never seem to drop much in price).
Maybe I'll get a Ducati next time... When I'm richer.. hehe
And regarding noise at 150km/h : get a better helmet dudes, hehe, el cheapo plastic helmets wont cut it at high speeds.
