Costs involved in being a rider.

Except when they're fuel injected, fat and as overweight as mine.

 

C'mon John, I had to spend thoudands of dollars to get my Harley to weigh
that much with me sitting on it!!

<snip more good advice>

Don't forget the dirt bikes. Cheap, rarely matters if they get knocked
over and you get the added advantage of being able to go pig chasing in the
Brindies on your day off. If that doesn't improve your riding skills,
nothing will!

The fuel injected Guzzi gets between 5.5 and 6l/100kms, except when
I'm towing the trailer.

Can't agree more. Distance is a drug.

Wow. They use fuel, even when in the back of the pick up ute......

Anyway, is it fair to compare diesel engines to petrol....

 

Speaking of which, I can see a space for one of them there diesel
Enfields, in my garage.

I sit corrected, so does this high mileage thing explain why they have such
small tanks ? And how come Pisshead has to keep filling up the ute* more often
than a vtr does ?

*Whaddaya mean he's carting an extra 500kg around what's that got to do with it
?

 

Yeah and money well spent it was ! Well, I'd appreciate it if I ever got a
chance for the ute to cart my carton of beer as well

500 kgs? I was quite impressed with his "reduce weight" campaign when we
caught up in Greensborough. It was such a cunning plan, I had to help him
get into a "church" and stuff.

I hid behind a wall of stubbies when he tried to go to the kazzie....

Hammo

 

At least I didn't vomit on you!

 

Was that the 'leave half the spokes out of one of your wheels'
plan?

-----sharks

 

Yeah, and make Hammo sit in the back seat!

Hammo

 

Well, you were in no fit state to drive!

 

Kids in the back? Bloody! I'll use that tow bar next time, me laddo!
