    Yeah, yeah, yeah.

    So you'd plan to change your posting name with every shiny bauble you
    bought?

    Either you're a liar or very stupid. Actually that's wrong. I should
    have said you're either a liar *and* very stupid or just very stupid.

    So basically it's a bike designed to appeal to those with a significant
    lack of self-worth who buy the bike to build some sort of sense of
    'importance'.

    I mean, our boy here has already felt it necessary to say he's "rich"
    which has to mean that:
    a) he isn't rich.
    b) he's probably bought the bike on finance (if he indeed actually owns
    one)
    c) he's got an inferiority complex the size of Timo's annual parts bill

    Heh. For quite a while I was, I think, on Des's "friends" list, and
    have exchanged quite a few emails with him, mainly started by him. I
    was certainly not unwilling to chat with him, despite disagreeing with
    his stance on, well, almost everything.

    Even the fiction with the R1 didn't stop that, but when he started
    putting the boot into Cab big-stylee he was pushing it too far. You
    know, he honestly considers that Cab 'betrayed his trust' by not
    supporting his lies when asked direct questions. I mean, FFS, he
    invents a bike "by accident", refuses to admit it in public but tells
    a 'mate' the truth, then expect him to back it up all the way, while
    at the same time slagging him off?

    Yet he still believes he's being "victimised" and "attacked". Des, you
    don't know the meaning of the word.
    JackH is about the only one that springs to mind now, which says it
    all really.

    Which is why I pointed him at people that do rather than
    trying to wind him up, I guess?

    But you do continue to lie about owning an R1.

    Do you own an R1?

    to avoid obfuscation: Des, do you own a road-going full-sized Yamaha
    YZF R1, that you yourself ride, recognisable to anyone who knows what
    a real R1 looks like as, in fact, a genuine Yamaha R1?

    I think you should be thinking more on the lines of me and ffaq reading
    for a decent analogy here.

    was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever:
    Now you're exagerating....














    .... the size of my annual parts bill.

    Unless you’re trying to get you’re knee down, in witch case you’ve slid
    you arse over on the seat, leaning your self into the corner to move the
    centre of gravity over to reduce the amount of lean you have to put on
    the bike, this will keep more rubber on the road to give more grip and
    drive. The upshot of this is that the water in the cup and the oil in
    the engine will slop up hill and away from the corner (if you’re turning
    left the water will spill out of the right hand side of the cup) but
    unless you have very long legs and sinister dexterity you’re not going
    to move over enough to cause a problem for oil feed.
