I'm a fuel injected suicide machine. I am the rocker, I am the roller, I am the out-of-controller!

  Sure didn't look staged, but the Germans do have a very dry sense of humor.  But anything is possible.

I said I'd never own a fuel injected motorcycle and rebelled aganst them for years, Then I bought a C5.  I feel stupid, fuel injection is great! :D
On the eighth day God created the C5, and it was better looking than anything on the planet.
