My new (to me) 06 hardrock would definitely be a miata!
Not the newest on the block but old faithful and fun.
Not the fastest but you can can hammer it all over!
Doesn't look like your compensating for anything. =P
(And I dig the little miatas)

Yeah im impressed with alot of the comparisons people have made, i think my favorite so far is the single speed Surly compared to the tractor with the monkey.
Did you ever race for FSU? I'm not racing this year, but if you raced last year, we probably raced together.

Cars are dumb and transfer energy mostly as heat --in a very inefficient way. Dumb comparisons -- next.

Seriously, here's another bike i built last year. I dont have it anymore, but it was a fun project. I'll compare it to a sleeper truck. I wanted to race it in this crit race in San Ann last year cuz the coarse was nothing but potholes and crap. They wouldnt let me though.

Nah, no where near that spectacular,but possibly as painful,my bike lacks the rollcage and seatbelts.
Mine would be more like an endo backed up with an uncoordinated cartwheel.
One thing that is very similar would be the crowd,in my case,other bikers,be it freinds or total strangers,witnessing the moment.

I like this post. I guess I would say my bike will take me to the trail head, ride trails all day up or down and then take me home at the end of the day.
