My motorcycle is big, obnoxiously loud, looks and runs less well than it might, and makes a mess everywhere it goes*. It's like me in machine form.
*actually, I fixed the most recent oil leak. You really gotta scrub the shit out of the drain bolts before reinstalling them. Any schmutz in the threads will just wick that shit to the underside of your oil-pan.
Ryan's is in excellent condition, because he never rides it.
