That was great. Reminds of old Monty Python skits.

I love Brit humor, that was good. I'd add a half scoop more power though :)

Those Rockets are nice, especially the touring model. 2,300 cc's and 147 lb ft of tourque. Pretty strong!

cool video. I was interested in that bike before Nomad. it can pop a wheelie in first. Sounds like farm machinery when idling but very strong.
