Bandit Brothers Ride Again: Muskego, Wi.

Matt and I drove up to Muskego Wisconsin on this fine brisk morning. This weekend, we were supposed to go to Moonshine, Illinois for a bike meet up and a burger. Yes, Moonshine is a true town with a population of two. We both agreed to cancel the trip due to the snow this week. Looking at the wet, snowy weather that southern Illinois had this weekend, we made a good call.

Back to Wisconsin, Matt and I met up with the usual suspects for coffee with the Sport Touring group and certain members of the exclusive Federated Union of Coffee Klatches Eastern Region Section.




The scooter below, ahem, motorcycle below, stole the show. Every motorcycle owner and non-owner stopped by to take pictures and ask questions. I find it quite humorous because they were all envious to ride it but no one would be caught dead on it, except for one nameless rider. What was I thinking though? This same guy rode his mom’s bike two weeks ago and rode that bike like a champ so who I am to judge. I am sure some "man law" was broken today.





In my mind though, the image below was the real show stopper.

Toyota Supra on Steroids


Wait to you guys get a load of this.....


Guess how much horse power?
Matt said the air intakes could suck in small rodents.



Nope, it has more horse power than that.......

This bad boy gets 1055 Horse Power. That is not a typo. OVER ONE THOUSAND HORSES. To give you an idea, the Corvette has 300 HP. This car can do the quarter mile in a little over eight seconds. Damn, that is fast. The battery was moved to the trunk while the passenger airbag was taken out to hold an instrument cluster panel.

OK, I lost some of you. Sorry, at this point, I figured there was nothing else that would capture today better than that car so I put the camera away. Although, Matt did have his first experience at Dog N Suds today. What did Matt learn from his experience? Dog N Suds does not take Visa and the gas station next door has a broken ATM. Matt was not too happy doing the dishes.
I kid, I kid. Another great day on the bike.
