House. Yes, as in House M.D.

I'm a recent convert - growing up in SoCal, I always thought that those "murdercycles" were loaded with folks that were either 1%ers or had a death wish.

But House, man, he looked so damn cool!

Seriously, it was mostly the fault of a few friends that convinced me that riding was a really good time and not as dangerous as I had always been told (I haven't died yet, 9 months later. I had always been taught that you had to die as soon as the engine started.), so I bought the 'jette at the tender age of 30. And embarassingly, House did play a part... "But House, there's snow on the ground." "So what? The roads are clear." So f*?%king cool.
