I am just wondering what would the majority of our members will choose between a car and a bike, and what type or model. Well for me, I'll surely go for a Ducati 998, sport production bike, almost similar to the one shown in the movie - Matrix Reloaded, where Trinity and Mr. Keymaker/master rode in the freeway when being chased. What's your take mates? . . . . . . . . .

@masseur - it's more of a comparison 'thread' mr. mod., not purely of cars I suppose . . . but if that will be the case then, so let's just choose between "B I K E " models- a Shimano Racer Bike or a Canondale Mountain Bike ? The choice is yours people . . .

I've got two modes of transport with two wheels. A Suzuki TL1000 and a Lambretta GP220. The TL has got the best sound in the world, but the scoot looks the business when I'm on it with the boots and braces etc. Skinheads never die!!! Thanks, Skin :-)

Wouldn't mind a Honda Goldwing either, I was thinking America coast-to-coast


Then again... I gotta have one of those all-chrome classic Harley Davisons

Let's get this straight ... Keymaker is from Matrix, the Keymaster is Rick Moranis' character in Ghostbusters.

@masseur - those were great photos, specially the bimmer series bikes!
@anti_christ666 - I really admire and appreciate the photo of a Ducati 996 Sports Production Bike that you post - GREAT !!!
@snap-hiss - my apologies there. Really wasn't sure if it was keymaker or keymaster so I posted both for the very keen observer, like you. Thanks for the correction anyway . . .

Yamaha R1, Bimota, Aprilia, Indian and Triumph bikes are great too . . .

I've said it once and i will definately say it again -


Cars win hands down - Escort RS cosworth then anything with an RS badge. And i know there are people out there that agree with me here. The RS500 evolution ,a bike killing monster of a car.
Now the first thing i need to tell you is don't just go around decappitating zombies left right and center.
