I can truthfully say that I don't like it but then I'm a bit more a traditionalist....(armour/sword) type guy.

Don’t be silly, protect your willy.


When in doubt, shroud your spout.

If you go into heat, package your meat.

Wrap it before you Tap it

Don’t be a fool, vulcanize your tool.

 
Don’t make a mistake! Muzzle your snake.

In a totally crazy and impractical sorta way.  The tetra-lever shaft drive on the Concours really is nice looking, though.

I did go to their site and failed to find it.

Live a little Max, eat some bacon and take the C14 over the speed limit on occasion. And the C14 mega exhaust is not "kewl", I am thinking some nice warning tape would be a nice addition.

It is not real, but the Bike Barn is saying they should do it now. They had about 500,000 hits on this photo. It is the Diaval and V-Max Killer. Great Photoshop.

I like it! If money were no object would love to have one for around town. Would love to see it up against a Diavel.
