"But we haven't got the money..."

"... for a new bike."

I'm going on two nice test rides next week - new ST and new Speed
Triple, courtesy of that nice new Trumpet dealership in
Wellingborough.

Wife's frankly not amused.

 

You don't if memory serves :-(

Enjoy. I saw one of the new Rockets on the road yesterday. What a noise.

I can imagine.

 

Isn't the waiting list like 12 months or something daft now?

You'll have plenty of time to talk her round

You have mail, btw

 

Err no I don't - well not from you.

 

Well, that's bloody odd. Re-sent. If no joy, let me know.

 

*ding*

 

See below.

Ho yuss. Passed one while responding the other day. Nice "little
burble" it had. Not bad over the din of the twotones...

Don't you fecking start. I have enough nags and tutters in this house
without you putting your oar in.

 

The engine would be quite all right for me, ta. The Benelli would just
threaten to break more often...

 

In a good way, or......?

Well don't take her then ...

 

I just don't like the pipes.

I actually prefered the looks of the last model. It was on my list of
future possibles, but the new one won't be.

There seems to be a trend to take bikes to a more aggressive
'streetfighter look' which IMO isn't all good.

The Fazer is another case in point. The first model I didn't like the
look of. The last model looked much better, but now they've gone and
spoiled it.

What's up with just having a naked bike look like a useful bike?

When the new Bandit came out, I saw a comment that it was a shame they
hadn't updated the looks like everyone else had. Personally, I was
quite glad they hadn't.

Said the Cardinal to the Inquisitor?

 

<received and replied>

 

Now now - that's a bit uncalled for isn't it? I simply said I could
imagine - I wasn't joining in.

 

Oh right. Now denying sympathising with the enemy, eh?

I've got your number...

 

The enemy is she? <printed off for posterity and future embarrassment
opportunities>

Frankly if you wish to buy a new bike and bankrupt yourself then that's
up to you ;-)

Promises, promises Mr Uniform Man.

<mwah>

 

Have I pulled?

 

You can get the pipes in black instead of vanilla.
