Mr. Danno. Well, I would definitely not put that superbike into the category of people mover. In the wrong or inexperienced hands, that is a widow-maker. People movers to me are these current vehicles on the road that drive you, and you're just a passenger along for the ride. There is so many technical pieces in the car that are no longer fully mechanical and electrically controlled. I recently rented a few cars that had safety features that steered me out of harms way, and also beeped, blinked, shook the steering wheel, and braked the car on my behalf because it was scared of something on the road or around it. I don't think that I'm all too comfortable with releasing control of a car to a computer just yet, or in that way. Still, I'm still here typing away at this computer so I suppose it's not all that bad. In fact, with the car being able to think and pay attention to the road for me, I was left to play with my phone and do some texting while driving. Convenient.......of course you guys know I'm kidding on this last but, but this is the direction these people movers are taking us. Wouldn't you agree....? The youngest car I own is 22 years old. It has none of these safety features, except ABS braking. Oldest car I own is 55 years old, and of course it has nothing power or computer assisted. Anyway, I'm ranting. Nothing fell off my Nortons either. Both are sitting still, one in the house, and one in the garage. With this fine weather we are having here in Michigan however, I'm tempted to put some fuel back into the 850 in the garage and take her out for a spin now.

[QUOTE="Starvingphotog, post: 609451, member: 12517"] Mr. Danno. Well, I would definitely not put that superbike into the category of people mover. In the wrong or inexperienced hands, that is a widow-maker. People movers to me are these current vehicles on the road that drive you, and you're just a passenger along for the ride.
