The end of the tank?

Steven Den Beste has a nice essay on the decreasing usefulness of the tank in modern warfare.

Nine bikes I really want

	Aprilia RSV Mille It's Italian, which means it's going to fall apart faster than an ice sculpture in the Sahara. There's no way I'd spend my own money on it. But damn, what a lovely machine when it's in working order: huge, gruntly V-twin, fantastic handling, and remarkable comfort for a Superbike.
	Honda CBR 954 Fireblade A bike I almost bought. The most lean & hi-tech of the big Jap fours. Stunningly light (168kgs!!) and better handling than pretty much anything out there. Super-crisp throttle response, smooth, powerful engine and better comforts than the R1 or GSXR-1000.
	Honda VTR1000 Honda's lovely V-twin sportsbike. Looks, comfort, gorgeous motor and well-priced. No wonder the damn things are so popular. Excellent build quality too.
	Kawasaki Z1000 Take the engine out of my ZX-9R, bore it out to 954cc, add fuel injection and stick it in a comfortable, nakedbike frame. Power, good looks and comfort. It's all there.....
	Ducati Monster S4 Ducati's sexy streetrod finally gets the superbike engine it deserves.
	Honda VTX 1800 I'm not into cruisers, but I'm tempted to take Honda's biggie for a relaxed long day-ride or two. Of course, being Honda, it has three things Harleys don't: 1) build quality, 2) a decent engine, 3) good brakes.
	Kawasaki ZX-12R The biggest and baddest road mutha of em all. Arguably the fastest production vehicle on the planet - two wheels or four. I wouldn't buy one simply for the horrendous cost of keeping the machine in tyres and chains.
	BMW R1150GS Adventure The bike I want to travel around Australia on. Comfortable, good for the outback highways and can carry assloads of gear.
	Triumph Speed Triple Triumph's Triple-cylinder engine is arguably the best motor in the two-wheeled world. I had one in my Triumph Sprint RS, but that bike was let down by crummy suspension, slow steering and poor balance. But here's they've stuck it in an upright streetrod frame with a sharp-handling chassis and decent suspension. I want one.

Hot damn

Some generous person(s) has already purchased 3 DVDs for me from my amazon wish list. Amazon doesn't tell me who (I guess the details will be in the package), but whoever it was, a very deep "thank you" :)

Really deep thoughts: live from aus.motorcycles

The "yanks are stupid" mouth-breathers are exercising their mighty IQ's again in some more pathetic anti-war threads, here, here and here. Kinda tragic to see grown men with such a raging insecurity complex.

Here's my Idiot-of-the-month;

I think the world is a better place with Hussein in it. He is quite clever and contrary to American propaganda has no plans to take over the world (unlike America). His incusions into Iran were provoked by Iran and supported by the US. Nothing to worry about there. Kuwait was also a dispute and prior to his invasion, he was told by the US that they didn't care what he did. If any comparisons to Hitler are made, it is Bush that has the most similar record. It is the US that invades at will, it is the US that imposes it's will on any country it feels like. We need people like Hussein to keep him honest.

Says it all, don't it?
