The first time I could hardly believe my eyes, the second time I made several involuntary sounds and definitely thought it looked like science fiction. A definite case of truth stranger than all the Hollywood special effects fiction. Reminded me of one Sunday morning 'round the Bolinas Lagoon just N. of Point Reyes on CA-Highway 1. I was shadowing another rider on his Honda CBR929. We were clipping along at a good rate but not flat out. Suddenly, out of nowhere, going 70+, I'm staring at the underside of a CBR clear as day, exhaust collector, drain plug, crank case belly, etc...I thought we crashed and were sliding together toward the shoreline, wondering why I'm not tumbling...then I realized my co-rider, fond of and very expert at stop-pies, was inclined at a reverse 45-degree angle. He later explained he thought he spotted a CHP and wasn't about to get another ticket. "No, you can NOT test ride my Moto Guzzi to prove you can do stop-pies on such a heavy bike!"

I have a Suby Forester with a few upgrades (family man) but I'd love to get a WRX STi and rally car it. That All-Wheel Drive has saved my bacon a number of times. It flat works. Friggin sweet.
