Thanks!
About perfect for my use. Powerful enough (110hp), and quite comfortable for longer rides.

I've been thinking about fixing my bike....but 1968 Czech parts are kind of hard to find. :| Here's a shot of it anyway:

Just saw that 2 days ago at the international motorcycle show in Chicago. I did some work for Harley Davidson redesigning the FLH touring bike. Here's a couple shots of what we presented at the show:

Meh, too big/fat. Oh, and $37,000 for a taurus?! B ahhahahahaahahhahahahaahahahaha. Good luck Ford. Pretty sure most people with that kind of cash will be getting something German.

With 365bhp and 4WD?

Drop the Ford badge for a minute. This looks nicer than anything the germans are offering at the moment. A6 was a handsome looking thing until Audi decided its grille wasn't big enough, BMW completely ****ed up the 5 series thanks to Bangle and the new E Class looks downright ugly with very undefined styling lines, especially at the front.

Yeah. Too much. Because I promise you 365hp isn't enough power to make up for the fact that that thing is a LARDASS. If stage 2 Subaru Legacy can blow away a Charger SRT8, this thing follows the same rule. People see the power rating, and then go completely dumb and ignore how big and heavy the car is. The thing is most likely going to weight over 4000 lbs, which means a regular WRX probably has a better power to weight ratio.

As for the M5, it was ruined as soon as they changed to that body style. Performance be damned, THIS is the one to own:

Agreed! Someday I shall have an E39 M5. Right now I have an '00 540/6spd with a few dinan add ons. Black, debadged is the only way to go! As prices on these drop, they are becoming a real bargain.

E39 is the last good looking BMW (except the rear, it looks a bit short and flat compared to earlier models.), after that they turned so ugly and they still are.

Its a good looking car and nice specs, but is it just me or does it look a bit like Saab...?

Nice clay work, but not a design of my taste...

Hey, me neither. Designing a harley is damn near impossible; they don't want you to change anything. It sucks.
