Now I want an E30 M3 and a Honda Grom.

And a big wheel.

Sounds like a reasonable list.

I get in the most trouble on the lightest, smallest-engined things.

Because you're less visible? Or because they tempt you to make poor decisions?

I'm actually not sure I get it. It's basically a Vespa that you shift like a motorcycle.

But for some reason I don't think the Jet ski belongs on the list.

As a streetbike, I don't want one. But to bomb around at Nationals, I want one.

I didn't mean legal trouble. Fortunately, I don't have much of that.

Much more the latter, often I push my luck on low-powered bikes. It's so tempting to ride them all out (something I wouldn't conceive of doing on a 100hp bike).
