That's whe... more...

There are some people, like myself, who can go on living their normal lives without the need for a use of a car. Not that I have any burning desire to save the planet from Global Warming, nor is it because I lack the funding for driving lessons. More because I feel that I have no use for it right now and will make the effort to learn to drive one day when the circumstance is propitious. However, there are those who thrill junkies and engulf themselves into the world of Yamaha, Ducati or Honda - ... more...
