          But I am broke. Damn, Damn, Damn.

          You know how hard it is to find an oil head GSXR 1100 in Alaska?

          well, it did not last very long did it?

            And how, exactly, does a turd handle? And how do you know this?

              On good days, it handles fairly stiff. On bad days, such as after Mexican, it's really soft. Feels almost like liquid. Other bad days are hard as hell and hurts to even think about it.
