    Well actually it's a Kwak Z750 twin. It does 110 (with rope to hold you
    on), 55mpg an it goes round corners. It looks like a bike should, pulls 20 -
    max in top gear and sets off every car alarm in the street. These things
    WILL be classics. So there.

    No, it *is* a SOB. Have a look at the FAQ and look up the meaning of
    'SOB'.

    Yeah, but that's hardly proof it's not a shite old bike, now is it?

    Mate of mine can't quite pronounce valium correctly. Quite amusing after
    lunchtime drinking session, rolling back into the office to sleep the beer
    off with Jim singing 'When I get my value mum, when I get my value mum'

    I could swear on my copy of the single ( b/w Motorhead ) the line goes

    ".... Just lie back and relax"

    Good excuse to play it tonight :)

    I know. But I fancy a twin just to see if they're as crap as they're
    made out to be (I have ridden one, actually).

    Heh heh. Course you forgot to mention that a bike will be nearer hallowed
    SOB status if it has zero oil in any suspension component and at least one
    strip of gaffer tape on the seat.

    Doesn't he just?

    Draw up a chair, sir. Open a bottle of Guinness. Tell me, how do you
    feel about Honda CG125s?

    (Think, before you answer).

    Hey pushrods! I remember them, my Austin 1100 had some. Best used as drifts
    during those precision engineering operations IIRC.

    Seems loik I might not fit so well in here after all. :(

    You're right, it's not a ShiteOldBike - it's a classic right enough;
    in a class of it's own, that is.
