How I did it: I realized the cars I already have are as fast as is practical for driving on the street. Any faster introduces new risks that a car cannot accommodate well, and if you're going to increase risk, why not just move to a motorcycle? Read how I did it…

after looking at both bikes a lot, the RC51 scares the hell out of me because it’s got all that torque from the twin. but the sound from the bike is just so unholy, i don’t think i can resist it. by contrast, the blackbird is so fast it’s hard to ignore. it’s a friggin missile. i’d really love to own a black one, but i think i’m going to go with the RC51.
it will likely come down to which one i can find in the most-stock, most-cared-for condition.
