same here... became a donor at 16 when I got my motorcycle endorsement. it's the right thing to do.
agree 100%
No boost on my stang but riding is simply more fun. That said I only ride for pleasure. I never commute and only ride twisty roads. Nothing compares. I love cars too but there is something so pure about man and machine that only a bike offers. If you can have both a bike and and a decently modded NA car you've got a great set up. There is no way I give up a bike just for a blower

I have to agree with that, but if he doesn't know what he's missing, then, well, he won't be missing it. And a lot of people crash hard before they ever get to enjoy the corners. Taking a tight corner on 2 wheels is way better on a bike, no comparison. Cornering in a car you are just being tossed about, but on the bike you are part of it.
I spend 2 weeks each year in the mountains of Western NC and there's no place I'd rather be.

That's a 2009 Buell 1125cr with me on it. Picture was taken on the Tail of the dragon by Killboy.com. They take pictures of every vehicle on that road and will sell you a digital copy for a few bucks. I always buy a couple pictures of myself, lol!
I'll have to look around and see what I could find one for. I saw a full fairings kit for it too (just my preference). I've always wanted to go to the dragon, no matter if I have a bike or or a supercharged car.
Does anyone have a link to the department of boost manifold info? Do they have a website yet?

Only so I could buy a brenspeed b326 and take my time swapping all my engine parts to it.

I'm 38. Had lots of muscle cars and bikes. I know the last thing I would do is buy a power added car from a stranger. Keep resale in mind. Also if it was a DD commuter I would not do it. That's just me. Since my mustang is an 05 with only 30k and a fun car only I'd consider doing it one day (or get 5.0).

I could buy a pretty nice motorcycle for $7K and probably get a lot more use out of it.
