It's less the bike, more its intended purpose. Ever done a day's worth of interestate? A week's? H-D tourers are made to superslab all day long and I know I need tunes for that, no matter what I am riding.

I think the point is Z3n is a space cowboy on the edge of a frontier unknown to man, he's out there pushing the limits, trail braking into the abyss. Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.

A couple of us went out to Alice's yesterday and a guy rolled up playing "I've Been Everywhere" by Johnny Cash...but this was his first time at Alice's. THE MARKETING LIES

Maybe Alice's was the last place he'd never been to.

When I first moved here in 2006 and found Alice's, I got excited and thought maybe it was eponymous until wikipedia set me straight. Also, I've seen more amazing bikes and cars at that gas station across the street than I've seen in the rest of my life combined.

Once again it's time to cash in the empties from your 3-day bender and head to Wal-Mart for your Ride On Freedom T, 2012 edition. Still just north of a fiver, still better smellin' than that Molly Hatchet '79 tour shirt you've had on for a week, and still featuring the absolute inverse of everything CA holds dear about motorcycling. So stop pumping iron and start pumping irony!*

The CTS-V is all carbon fiber'd out and says BATMOBILE on the back, I'm pretty sure he crashed the Ferrari, and Selena Gomez is like 18 years old, man.

The clue is in the model name, and I have to spoil that clue since it was difficult to GIS up a blue/white one where it was clearer. That black outline text gets a really hard time from JPEG compression.

700 vs 750 cc. The original was 750, but it was stroked down to 700 to conform to US import tariffs. HD bailouts! :argh: edit: well done Bucephalus.
