As a guy, I have this itch. Its a nasty little itch to do something stupid. As a kid you scratch this itch by taking your bike off a jump, or dare your idiot friend to attempt to light his crotch on fire (like this poor bastard)

Unfortunately as you get older the old flaming crotch gag just doesn’t cut it and and usually isn’t accepted in the workplace, but that itch still remains. Now if your wealthy you can always buy a really fast car like, say, this one:

Super Pricey Itch Scratcher- Ferrari California

This 3825 lb  engineering wet dream scratches your itch with a 454 hp 4.3L V8 engine and four wheels. If you do the math really quick… its ok I’ll do it for you, that is 8.42 lbs per 1 hp. That is some pep, but at a price tag of, well, more than I make in two years, it is kind of out of my budget. So despite its sex appeal, the massive statement it makes about the size of your junk and the damage it does to your bank account, leaves me intrigued but still very itchy.

This my friends, is where the motorcycle comes in to play. Remember that figure I quoted ” 8.42 lbs per 1 hp”, and remember the price tag $ Sht,Loa.d0. Well how does this figure and price sound?

3.96 lbs per 1 hp for $10K

Even a Harley rider can figure out that your getting more bang for your buck, and more push four your pounds. So, appealing to my logical side, those figures sound pretty damn good. Now let me show you the picture of this powerful itch scratcher:

My Itch Scratcher- Triumph Street Triple R

It’s ok to stare, just clean up after your done. This metal, motorized, mix of rubber, gas, and steel allows an adult to experience the freedom of being a kid again. Once you are mounted up and rolling on the throttle, you can get the mix of emotions you have not felt since you took your bike off its first jump. And as an added bonus, if you’re really into kicks, this will even scratch the itch of those crotch burners in the video since your riding at high speeds with 4.6 gallons of 89 octane fuel between your legs. So if your facing that midlife crisis, or if you are just looking to awaken that restless child in you, don’t mortgage your house to buy a 4 wheeled cage (even if it has a pretty pony, or a snarling bull on it), drop a few grand, hone your senses, and experience the open road.
