No, just did a gumtree search for 'thunderbird bass' to see what I don't need ... and it is already sold anyway.

If you're describing a bear riding a donkey - you're talking surrealism at best.

Coooool bass.
Now, where's the fried chicken and undies pulled down to the ankles?
So cool. I really wish I had gotten track time on mine! The 750 was pretty beastly; plenty of horsepower, very good torque, and amazing handling for such a heavy bike. A friend had one of the first 1100cc Magnas in the area. We went riding together every chance we got. He'd leave me like I was standing still on the straights, but then I'd dust him in the curves. Every once in a while we'd swap bikes for a bit to experience both sides.
At one point I really wanted a Yamaha V-Max, but then I got really irritated when a driver cut me off on the 650 twin, dropped a gear and popped the clutch to race around him and did an accidental wheelie while leaned over, not dropping the front wheel till I was straightened out and almost past him. I decided then and there that I would die on a V-Max, and quit even reading about them. OTOH, I never lost it like that again. OTGH (On the Gripping Hand), I didn't even realize I could pull that sort of wheelie off.
I think you're doing the "doing it wrong" wrong.

Right on - I'm the same way, any wheelie (on a motorcycle) I did was accidental, but I enjoyed the remembrance in retrospect. I get all my related thrills from riding my road bicycle. After 25+ yrs of USCF racing, I was hard-core and still miss part of that world. (not the life-consuming part) I love a two-wheeled experience whenever I can afford it.
If that donkey can haul a bear around,it's more worrisome than the bear!

The thought of driving a bike in Austin these days does not amuse me; the roads are over-crowded and the influx has brought a lot of insane drivers and increased road rage quite a bit. But in general, I will always enjoy two wheels more than four, except in atrocious weather. Merely miserable weather turns out to be merely annoying.
