I searched, but came up empty for Highland's Streetfighter:

It's got a huge ass, but at least its different.  :-\

That's make the beast with two backsing hideous  :-X :-X :-X [puke]

The ass is hideous but that's what hacksaws are for. 950cc at 318lbs wet is the part that matters. You can make it prettier later.

I know that a plane crash killed the top officers of this company last month.  A sad day for the motorcycle industry.

and this is why large corporations have "business continuity plans" that prohibit top officers from traveling with each other.

I think the USA should leave designing of motor vehicles to the Europeans, surely it couldn't cost that much to to hire a design company

Por que?

Not that bad of a design for a first crack at it.  Give them time.  The numbers look good.  And it's nice having a real bike made in America. 

how bout the enduro?

This was a Swedish company that had recently relocated to the US.

IIRC In'N'Out lost a few key players a while back same way.

Totally off topic, but is it wrong that the #1 reason I'm looking forward to visiting LA this weekend is so I can get In N' Out?  ;D ;D ;D

yeah.. there's much better food here.  [evil]

 ;D ;D  [evil]  [evil]

Cheers,

Those are some good burgers, Walter.

Perpetuating the off-topic in two directions:

Yeah, there's a Five Guys here in Denver and one near my HQ in Nashua NH ... Fries are absolutely killer but the burger is just OK.  They have tasty, tasty hot dogs too  ;D 

Depends, is she cute? 

While you're there, you & your droogs should look up the Korova Milkbar, get in the right frame of mind for the evening.

And back ON topic... I'd seen reviews of this streetfighter and their dirt bike; very cool concept -- develop the hell out of a powerplant, and then use modular designs to build all kinds of different bikes around it. Very sad to hear about their principals -- a company that small can fall apart losing even one key person.
