Those sunglasses you had and the armani sweater your had (which i've actually tried to find, that thing was cool).

Not an insult! I can just picture you on a crotch rocket more than I can picture you on a harley.

crotch rockets are also called sphagetti grinders - coz of the whining and whirring noise they make.. holds true for Ducati, Benelli, Aprilia, Bimota, Cagiva, Moto Guzzi and MV Agusta and other Italian bikes...

The sounds these bikes make .. u can easily identify them..

A kick ass bachelor party (hopefully resulting in zero fights or arrests). And some peace and quiet leading up to the wedding. I'm getting a little tired of all the nitpicking.

As far as real, attainable gifts, a new laptop would be nice, but I would take a Rickey Henderson rookie card (1980 Topps). :lol:

The cost of Italian bikes (and also their cars) is another distinguishing feature :lol:

The cost of servicing the bikes and cars is equivalent to the GDP of Zimbabwe..

A bloody screw for Ducati costs 8 friggin dollars...found it the hard way.

Yeah .. that's C&C. I used to hate the Obelisk of Light.

Has anybody played SI's Championship (Football) Manager? I once played that game for 29 hours straight (With breaks only for nature's calls).

I doubt anyone will know this.... I cant remember the name of the game.. but some time ago there was a game where you controlled a group of 5 or 6 little men running around, and they had flamethrowers I think, and you could light whole groups of people on fire or shoot them down. The style and look of the game was somewhat similar to c&c in terms of a top down look, but it had 3d buildings. .... anyone have any idea what I'm referring to?

Also one of my favourites from a LONG time ago:
