Never before have I been possessed by the overwhelming urge to commit an act of felony. That the motorcycles on display are in perfect running condition worsens the urge to get on one, kick it to life and ride off. Every single bike wears immaculate paint, scrubbed engine cases and mint cycle parts down to each gleaming bolt, just begging to be ridden hard on the adjoining racetrack. I swear I could still smell remnants of castor oil on the exhaust of the ring dinger Aprilia RS 250 from when it was started last. In fact, my travel companion was forced to physically move me away from it before I left a puddle of drool on the floor.
