OTA, but especially the radiant Aeryn Sun. ;)

Hot damn. You know, this is every bit as cool as it was on TV. Cooler, actually. While they had prohibition San Francisco and British naval ships on TV, now they have the coolest race course John has actually ever seen. He fancies himself a bit of a gear-head, but it's been a long time since he's been out on a motorcycle. So he looks more like a kid in a candy shop, bounding from bike to bike.

He stops to look at the matched pair for a long time. That's ... an interesting design.

For Aeryn Only:
Getting Officer Sun to be as enthused about the "crude Earth vehicles" as he is has been ... a challenge. We'll stick with A Challenge, for $500, Alex. John is determined to turn her into a fan.

That's why he picks one of the more dangerous models, a 1999 Ducati 748 in canary yellow, inlaid with real leather. He spends a minute going into detail about what she can do, but wastes no time getting to the interesting part. "Have a seat. I'll show you how she handles."
