bike types/decisions [longish]

I think so. IMO he got more out of his life than most people do even if
they live to 100. Racing bikes was what he loved and horrific though his
crashes were he was doing something which he had a passion for and very
successfully too. I think the upsides of his life more than outweighed the
downsides.

 

Neither would I if I had the choice. But I didn't did I?

I think I agree. But...it'd still be quite a decision to make at,
say, 20.

 

Pah. You wanna try being a Neal.

 

£408 FC, ungaraged, Brighton. A Benly, however, is £123 FC.

 

You could want to be me. I reckon that'd be grand.

 

Nah, you're not a ****. You're alright. And from the Aussie model
thread (and other previous conversations) I happen to think you have
good taste in women.

Most of the time ;o)

Anyway, if there are no photos of Angie, and I've never met her, then
I can't be jealous of her superior beauty, can I? And as has been
pointed out in the Irish thread, the space hopper look is hardly the
most classically attractive, is it?

 

Yeah, but you're about 120 and I'm a mere spring chicken with no NCB
(due to ZXR being nicked 4 days into a policy)

Bear in mind I can insure a Mille for under 800 quid TPFT and an R1
for about the same, but a 7R costs double. *boggle*

 

It's because they're motor-pikes. If you buy one, they assume your real
name is "Nosher", that you really live in a dodgy counie instead of Chalfont
St Fuckknowswhat and a spider web tattooed on your face.

Either that or Simian has singlehandedly skewed the risk figures for
Kawasakis in the greater Slough area ...

 

Have you seen one for real or just photographs?

That's the hammers back.

I'll let you have the first barrel later ...

I've owned a few green Kawasakis in my time, either painted them or
flogged 'em out quick. I hate the colour.

 

Mmmm, neophytes, with bread and whitebait...

 

More likely that than my living in a dodgy counie, whatever the **** one
of those is!

Dunnit depend on the bike?

I mean I am no JP but my gpz was green, in a black sort of way. Whereas
others, my seedy 175 e.g., have been lucky to have ever seen a cloth.[1]

Some bikes ask to look a mess, others need to be scruffy and some need
to be green.



[1] Maintenance excepted.

There are limits

 

Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, sweller

My kid sister managed to put her soon-to-be-ex husband right off
whitebait by watching him eat them with a disgusted look on her face,
before remarking: "But you eat their bums!".

We called them CHTs, Council House Tenants. But we lived in the posh bit
of the area. It must have been cos Colonel Tupperware lived just around
the corner, and we all know how posh he is.
