      Hara Kiri is just the "vulgar" term for Seppuku. Literally translated, hara belly + kiri cutting. Here's a howto guide on how to commit seppuku with a frisbee.

    This is only cool because I'll never own a real V-Max. *sniff* My mate convinced my other half there really dangerous (in the cool way), and now she thinks I'll kill myself. So I have to stick to the CBR....

      Oh, on the contrary. The bikes themselves are perfectly safe.

      It's the sudden and abrasive stop that you come to when performing an "emergency exit" that's the dangerous part. ;)

    An uninformed reader will think it's weird that a computer peripheral (speaker) company also makes vehicles.

    More-informed slashdot readers will know better--they are still trying to get over that Hundai is allowed to make cars.

    "origami" means something like "folded paper". The Yamaha models are made by cutting and pasting paper, not folding. So they're not origami.
