 So. Say you return home one day and....suddenly find yourself in the market for a new motorcycle. What models would you consider?

It all depends on what you're looking for. Are you more concerned with speed and handling or safety?

[toxiccrown.livejournal.com]

The faster it goes the better~. Safety's never been an issue.

[empress-arcana.livejournal.com]

A sport bike, then. Honda manufactures many of the class leaders, it's a good brand to look into if speed is what you're going for.

[toxiccrown.livejournal.com]

My co-worker had a Honda at one point. Maybe I should look into that....

[empress-arcana.livejournal.com]

Do you race, or just enjoy riding?

[toxiccrown.livejournal.com]

I just enjoy riding them. Last time I tried to race I was pushed into a ditch.

My buddy Jacob has a Harley Sprint he loves.

[toxiccrown.livejournal.com]

Your buddy Jacob has really good taste. I have....erm, use to have one.

[mortally.livejournal.com]

I have one myself, but I don't know what kind it is. Harley something.

[toxiccrown.livejournal.com]

Heh, really? You never struck me as a biker girl. Do you have any pictures?

[mortally.livejournal.com]

It was... a reckless phase... though I still ride around with Jacob or did. And no... I have to keep the thing hidden from my dad or he'd kill me.

[toxiccrown.livejournal.com]

Your father sounds kind of strict. He doesn't want you to have one?

[mortally.livejournal.com]

He grounded me for months when he found out I did. And the running off to Italy for three days before that didn't help...

[toxiccrown.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. It's good that you still take it out, though. Maybe when I get a new one we could ride together sometime, too.

Motorcycle? What is that, some kind of death trap? 'Cause I know a guy who sells them. Name's Akbar. Not exactly the safest mode of transportation, but hey, if you're spending someone else's money, who cares, right? Picked that one up from Thief a while back...

[toxiccrown.livejournal.com]

It's only a death trap if you don't know how to handle them. They're quite fun otherwise~. I, um, wasn't exactly planning on spending any money at all.

[hadoken-mage.livejournal.com]

Well, I guess my question is, does it fly like a pig strapped to a boulder launched from a giant slingshot backed with a nuclear explosion? Cause if so, I think I've ridden one before...

[toxiccrown.livejournal.com]

I've never left my old one near the sites of nuclear explosions, so I couldn't tell you. I suppose I could go to the plant at Calder Hall while I'm here and test that....

[hadoken-mage.livejournal.com]

Who needs "nuklear plants" when you have your own explosive capabilities at your fingertips? Only reason I know how that works is cause I had to Hadoken a boat or airship to safety once... only because I was on it mind you, otherwise I would have gladly let it get wasted. But man it flew... it was way too fun.

[toxiccrown.livejournal.com]

I have plenty of things at my fingertips, but explosions aren't one of them. That requires playing with things while people aren't looking.

And I keep meaning to ask. What's a "Hadoken"? It sounds like fun.

[hadoken-mage.livejournal.com]

Hadoken is basically my most powerful spell. Just your average beam of death that happens to cause a massive explosion and crater to be created on impact with its target. Or not, really, once it hits something it just obliterates everything within its obscenely large blast radius. Most sinister of all is that it's powered by the very essence of Love itself.

...Long story.

[negavise.livejournal.com]

You could borrow mine.

[toxiccrown.livejournal.com]

But I couldn't guarantee returning it in the same condition after.

[negavise.livejournal.com]

As long as you don't scratch the paint job. I don't mind.

[toxiccrown.livejournal.com]

Hmm. What is it? And is it a two stroke engine or four?

[negavise.livejournal.com]

Two. That way I pollute more. [Grin]

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

Ooh, get one of those cute little Ducatis!

[toxiccrown.livejournal.com]

I've been seeing more and more of those around these days....especially in races. Do you know if they're any good?

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

I dunno much about 'em, honestly, just that they're Italian, and fast.

[toxiccrown.livejournal.com]

Fast is always good. Something else to look into then~

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

Whatever you end up picking, will you post pics? I wanna see!

[toxiccrown.livejournal.com]

I can do that! Heheh, I don't think we've met before, have we? I'm White.

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

Sweet!

No, we haven't, have we? I'm Mikaela! I think I've heard Apollo talk about you, though~

[toxiccrown.livejournal.com]

It's nice to meet you, Mikaela! And have you? I hope you didn't hear anything too bad~

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you too, White! Hee, nope. Just that he was on vacation with you!

[toxiccrown.livejournal.com]

Heh, he took me down to Haina. Just got back today, actually.

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

....I have no idea where that is! Obviously, I shoulda paid more attention in, like, Geography.

Did you guys have fun?

[toxiccrown.livejournal.com]

The Dominican Republic, in the Caribbean. Not a very popular vacation spot, sadly.

Oh, loads. The beaches down there were amazing! And I got to see my old work place, which was kind of fun.

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

N-no, I guess not. Isn't there, like, civil wars and stuff going on down there?

Mmm, I bet! Any beach in the Caribbean is, though~. Ooh, you got to work there?

[myrayeoflight.livejournal.com]

I have a 2003 Suzuki GSX-R1000 that has been nothing but good to me. If you need any incentive as to why, I found a review (http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/roadtests/122_0307_2003_suzuki_gsx_r1000/index.html) online that goes into more detail.

[toxiccrown.livejournal.com]

Oooh, that sounds like one hell of a nice bike. How long have you had yours?

[myrayeoflight.livejournal.com]

I've had it since it first came out. It was... a present from my parents.

[and-dont-blink.livejournal.com]

[Been wanting to post this for ages, couldn't find the type of motorcyle my character has!]

[hates-cliches.livejournal.com]

I'd go for a Suzuki but that's just because I've got one. Carter got a Harley, but it's up to you!
