swap or BIKE?
should i spend 6 grand on making my cute hatchback a monster?, thus making it no longer a peppy grocery getter, or should i buy a cbr600 and have the fastest thing i am capable of driving?, and still have a grocery getter that looks good and can still rape a gsr

Re: swap or BIKE? (BrianP)
i was going to get a bike, but after seeing this nasty accident where a guy literally lost head after getting hit by an SUV, i changed my mind very quick...
i love bikes though. but too dangerous in my opinion. if you get into an accident with a bike you can only hope you survive, while in the car at least you have some protection around you. i'd go for the swap. just my $0.02 on that

GET A BIKE!!
i started riding a motorcycle last may and feel in love riding.. ill tell you the truth from someone that actually rides.. motorcycles can be dangerous but they are only as dangerous as the rider or surrounding traffic!! while learning how to ride i had my own few little drops here and there nothing serious, and the one serious wreck i had was on june 14th a little over 6 weeks after i started riding and some ******* teenager merged into me doing a right on red.. i did not die but it could have been worse.. i got back on my motorcycle 1 month later w/ a cast on my right foot still and had fun riding..
im planning on buying my buddies 2000 yamaha r6 from him when he gets the new 2002 yamaha r1 this spring. only thing that kills me when i ride a bike is wanted to speed cause its SSSOOOOO easy to do so and get away from other cars and cops if you got time.. but i did stop 2 out the about 10 times a cop chased me and got 2 speeding tickets so i might not be able to afford the insurance when i have to renew it in May. if that is the fact im gonna keep the bike i have now a 1989 honda hawk gt (great starter bike and fun as hell to ride) and do a motor swap in my civic and still ride around on the bike cause its paid off and sits in my garage..
another bonus is its a lot harder to get a girl to get in the passenger seat then it is to get her on the back of the bike w/ you holding on tight around your waist

Re: swap or BIKE? (beeboyee)
Now for a dose of reality:
It's not the accident where you "lose your head" that you ought to be worried about. It's the one where you break your back and have your ***** ripped off so you're a paralyzed eunich for the rest of your life. Or maybe you smash your head on something so your mama has to wipe the drool off your chin for the rest of your life. Think that's crazy? Think a helmet is really going to help that much? I've been working in healthcare for 5 years. It happens.
Get the swap.

Re: swap or BIKE? (utensil)
I'm wondering the same thing??? If you don't already have a swap, what's under the hood that makes this thing rape a GS-R?
Here's a crazy idea, ever heard of a Boss Hoss or whatever that bike is that has a Chevy small block on it? Why not swap a B18C5 into a CBR bike frame! - Then you'll have a bike and a swap.
