No, she wouldn't want to ride with me anyway. She's not the outdoors, wind in your hair, camping type. With all our friends buying new Harleys the last few years, we did actually talk about it. Myself, I personally don't have much interest in traveling on a motorcycle. I like taking along my "stuff" too much. If I got another bike, it would be just for fun, short FAST trips. This would fit the bill.
This Hayabusa is currently the fastest production bike available. Not that I would ever use all of it, but it would be fun knowing it was there. I used the argument that it was only 1/2 the price of a new Harley . . . still nuttin'.
I heard a story of a kid on one of these that was clocked by a police helicopter at 260mph. Eventually, he had to stop and he was caught. In court they argued that the radar was wrong and had a statement from Suzuki that even with the all the racing options, this stock bike will barely get over 200 (pfft). But, they lost anyway and he was fined for the 260mph . . . and he was the Sheriff's son.

I'm exactly the same way! It used to work at a job where clients used to make me mad on a regular basis, and I would keep my cool throughout the entire phone call, but then as soon as I got off the phone, I couldn't stop bawling. I was actually denied a raise because of that.
If I go to McDonalds and get a burger, fries and a peice of pie I have to eat all my fries, then my burger, then the pie. No eating a little of each as I go.
I'm trying to get better at this one, but I've been doing it for as long as I can remember.

I never heard that before. Reading "flamed-out", I pictured someone dressing like Gary Glitter or Liberace. Seriously...

Cassaroles must be hell for you.
