    If my bike was governed at 40 MPH, i'd have to shoot somebody. That or see if our guys at the Terminal in Lowell could Jack it. Believe me, i've seen em jack a limiter before for a L/P Driver now in ownership of truck. Doesn't look hard at all.

    I'm new to this site, so I don't know how to find the pictures as of yet. Is there a link to the pictures?

    I think that he must have taken the photos down. If he hosts them on another site, ie. photobucket and deletes them from his account, then they would disappear here as well. Sorry.

    Google "swift motorcycles". You'll find their website with pics.

    yeah I did that and I have to admit that the bar chopper doesn't look to bad, but thats the key word 'looks'. I'm sure like everything I've heard about swift they won't go as fast. I'll stick to the sport bikes.

    A "shaft drive" bike at Swift doesn't really mean it has a drive shaft instead of a belt or chain. It means the bike was built in a factory that about 10,000 Swift truck drivers paid for. Naturally, these are 10,000 truck drivers who got the shaft.

    Knowing what SwiftQuit, the trucking company, is like, I thought I'd help out SwiftQuit, the motorcycle company, and give it ideas on new model names that match both companies:

    Manhattan Cruiser--a good model for a guy who just got his license and wants to see New York. If he as a new biker doesn't want to see New York, TOUGH. It goes there anyway.

    Third Eye--this one keeps an eye on you and will make smart alleck comments through a speaker when you're driving along just fine minding your own business. This one is never satisfied and "thanks" is not in its limited vocabulary.

    StealthBribe--with this bike, you have to pay it a bribe so it'll go where you want to go. If you don't pay it the bribe, it automatically heads for I-95 north towards Philly, New York, and Boston.

    Mr. Clean--this bike will ##### at you (again, through its speaker system) if you don't scrub it enough using your own elbow grease on your day off. Car washes not allowed. This bike will quit running if you take it on the property of a Blue Beacon.

    TightWadJerry--this bike combines all the above into one model.
