    ESPN.com has a picture that shows some blood. Not guts.

    My bad. I meant NO blood/guts. Sorry.

    According to the exsportsdude, it is the fastest production bike ever built.

    I know they're pretty rare out here. The ex's was one of three in town. I'm not sure about places where people have more discretionary income though.

    That's the really sad part, 21.

    And frankly if it was too much for my ex to handle, I'm not sure that there are too many casual drivers out there capable of really being able to control one of those beasts.

    What does your ex husband drive now? Does he still own a bike?

    In my research, I found a few cases of athletes vs. bikes I hadn't heard of:

    -- Robin Yount in 1978 took time off to "pursue a possible pro golfing career." He admitted later -- like, 20 or so years later -- that he took time off because he had torn ligaments in a motorcycle wreck and didn't want anyone on the Brewers to know.

    -- Tony Twist led a 1,500-mile motorcycle rally through the West for a charity that promotes helmet use for children on bikes and roller skates. Soon afterward, a car turned into him while he was riding, ending his career.

    -- In other St. Louis Blues goon news, Bob Gassoff, who had been drinking and didn't have much riding experience, fatally wrecks a bike during a party at Garry Unger's farm. It turns Unger into a born-again Christian.

    Right now my ex drives a Chevy S-10. He sold the bike for about $4,000 a couple weeks after the accident.

    Before we broke up, he was planning on buying a new one as soon as his legs heal. I have no clue if that's still his plan.

    Don't forget Jeff Kent doing wheelies when he said he slipped at a car wash.

    Looking at Camo Man again...is he a cop?  What kind of plainclothes/undercover work would he be doing dressed like that?

    Crook #1: Get a look at the cop, what a schmuck...
    Crook #2: Hm, I thought it was Chuck Noll...
