I do *not* believe it

Ah-ha. Well, you live and learn.

 

Catman was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever:

Oh arse, sorry to hear that. You've just found out why I ended up
selling the ST...

I think it's more that Adie's been very lucky with hers...

 

err, are you agreeing or disagreeing with me?

(hint: I've no fucking idea).

 

Agreeing.

The first 4 are water-cooled, the last six are not.

They are the ten bikes I've owned.

By whom?

 

OK, ta.

for me, most of the bikes I've owned have been water-cooled, and
they've all been fine, in a coolant-sort-of way.

The oil-cooled bikes I've owned have been OK too.

The air-cooled ones have generally been cunts.

 

By me, you cheeky sod.

For the record, the Blackbird's done 952 miles this year, the Wing
981. (inc. 580 over Easter)

Worth a try, Salad, old chap.

Is that all? Blimey. I thought you did thousands of miles on the wing.
Guess you do more in the summer months with the RBR thing?

 

Tis true, I'm afraid.

My commute is only an eleven mile round trip, and the Wing's only been
to Meriden, BOSM, and Sainsbury's since Xmas.

Even with the RBR, and in-laws in France, I still only rack up about
14-15k a year.

Nope.

Well, it might be easier, but I don't much care for it.

it could also be that they're ridden regularly and serviced properly
too.

Could be, although I had a few problems in the first year of
ownership, when it was doing >500 miles/week and getting dealer
serviced as required.

To be sure, Timo's problems with it might have been aggravated by it
sitting outside your pad all winter not being used...

 

That all? I racked up 1100.

 

I was busy drinking for the rest of it.

I've just checked and I've done 1000ish, and I only bought the bike in
January and only been out for fun when sunny.

Maybe, but then again that would hardly explain all the fuel leaks...

 

Pah. I did 1361 on the Z200 over a long weekend in March.
