In a bike, beyond the wierd factor, a deisel isn't very appealing to me. but the wierd factor can go a long way - I'm developing an unhealthy obsession with thumpers lately......

In a bike, beyond the wierd factor, a deisel isn’t very appealing to me. but the wierd factor can go a long way – I’m developing an unhealthy obsession with thumpers lately……
