At last, the American bike market is starting to understand : sport bikes aren't the be-all and end-all of motorbikes. (and let's not mention that filthy HD company).

Today's the day folks. Word from the Pentagon is that 2,973 US servicemen and women have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

We watched the film this weekend and it's a-w-e-s-o-m-e....... Oh and the music isn't bad either.
