Went and drove the Monster 900 out at Southwest Superbikes. It was some special edition from 2001. Tank looked like a blue bass boat with all the metal flake in it. All the plastic was removed, replaced with CF.  Really good price for a very clean bike.

Took it for a spin around the warehouses out there. Loved the sound of the clutch. The exhaust was beautiful too. Didn't find it as binding as the 695. It was actually very comfy, but something wasn't right. Got it back, thanked the guys and left. On the way back to work I swung by AMS, I had to sit on the sport 1000 again. I straddled it and stood it up for a second.

Mother F**ker.

I just can't escape it. That's the bike I have to have. The monster, while a beautiful bike, isn't going to cut it. Forget the clutch. I'm at home on that sport 1000 and I gotta find one. That's all there is to it.

Sigh....the search continues. Looks like you guys are stuck with some loser hanging around that doesn't even ride a bike for at least a while longer.

Hmmm, that may be the bike we saw after the Hico run coming from Burleson, headed north on I35. Alan and I saw him.
