Motorcycle Personality Test

"Yamaha FJR1300
You scored 5 moxie, 8 zeal, and 4 pomp! "

But just WTF are moxie, zeal and pomp, in this context?

 

Alternatively (although not as amusing) ...

It appears to relate to spiwit, bwavado, a touch of dawing do.

Yamaha YZF R1
You scored 7 moxie, 8 zeal, and 0 pomp!
You're addicted to speed, but have the knowledge and experience to
match. Although you like to win, you don't really care so much about
competing with others as much as competing with yourself.
Your bike is the Yamaha YZF R1. Given how easily the rear wheel on this
beast spins up coming out of turns, it is fortunate that you constantly
work to improve your skills. (I've seen more R1s crash at track days
than any other bike.)

It was a close decision with the Suzuki GSXR1000, but your personality
seemed a bit more R1-ish. (But hey, I could be wrong. Its only a silly
test.)



BWAHAHAHAHAA.

 

Rabbit, eh? You want to use them as a vibrating sex toy?

"Hare" would be more appropriate, surely? Having said that, when I
get 'Target Acquired' my idea is not to pursue them, as one would a
hare, but to get past them and leave them choking on my dust. I would
qualify that by reaffirming that my object is always to be the second
fastest vehicle on the motorway - using the overkeen rep in the BMW as
a sacrificial lamb, as it were.

 

Nice one, centurion.

<hopes Eddie's not watching>

 

Damn! I want to score 10, no 11, in all of them!

 

One would have expected Champ to rate well into double figures for
Pomp, on that basis.

I'm agog waiting for Molly's Moxie score ;-)

It did, ta.

 

That's not really true, if you think about it. My road bike is very
subdued and (at the moment) pretty scruffy, my riding gear is plain
and non-bling. I drive a fairly non-descript car. etc

heh

 

That's not the correct response, you know.

"Stwike him, Centuwion, vewy woughly!"

 

"Suzuki VStrom
You scored 5 moxie, 3 zeal, and -5 pomp! You have the traits of a
sensible and effective rider, with an utter lack of concern for image,
so you should feel comfortable riding a sensible, effective, and
hideous bike like the VStrom.

You are the rider most likely to Rhino-Coat your bike for the sake of
practicality. "

Oh dear.

I'll get my pipe and slippers then.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Yer...like a james hunt!

 

Er.. which is what I understood them to be mean by "rabbit".

 

Indeed.

Yamaha YZF R1
You scored 7 moxie, 7 zeal, and 1 pomp!

 

OK, ok...

"Yes, sir. About 2 o'clock, sir"

better?

"And throw him to the ground, sir?"

 

Mr Pot, is that you?

 

7.9.0 and an R1! How little they know me.

 

It's 11 o'clock, isn't it?

I kept thinking the response should be "Yes, after breakfast", but of
course that's for "Oh, Sir Horace! Has he been... ?"

"Oh, yes! Thwow him to the floor!"

Enough now, anyway - we'll just end up with the whole script if we don't
stop somewhere.

more low brow merkin utter fucking bollox.

It serves to emphasise how little they know about anything.



I mean, what sort of stupid fucking question is this:

"Honestly, how often do you check your mirrors while driving? (Looking
at your own reflection doesn't count.)"

It is a fucking reflex you thick fucking yank, like fucking breathing, I
do it every fucking opportunity I get without even fucking thinking
about it.


Apparently I should be riding an 833 sportster.

 

"Plain and non-bling"? You've got your own name written across the
back in glitzy silver letters!
