I sometimes think I would have benefited from having a smaller, less powerful bike to max out on. I can't give my bike full throttle for more than a couple of seconds or I'm pushing double the spee...

If this person makes a two line post in a thread, his post alone takes up pretty much my entire screen (at 1024x768). This makes scanning through t...
