  3. Why thank you Theo, and I am sure that you recognize that fact as well

  4. And it is amazing that even though they are going flat out and have
    practiced it for a long time, they still have fat arses.
    So, bang goes the exercise theory that it is slimming

    From a seedy motel in Uralla
    Just had a day with Jon at his farm on Terrible Vale Rd

    http://www.uralofoz.com.au/index.html

    The farm is set up with training tracks of varying degrees of
    difficulty, and the weather was wet to add to the interest.
    I was rapt. If I was a betting man I'd bet I will have the maroon
    Tourist optioned up and in my garage soon after Xmas. I could be
    wrong, but that's how I see it.
    It's WW2 BMW technology and I love it - important updates (Kawasaki
    carbs, Brembo brakes, Denso electrics...) notwithstanding, and more
    fun then a room-full of Penthouse Pet of the Years (not that I'd know
    anything about that of course ;)).
    We'll see - let you know when I do.

    Yay!

    old is good, slow is good, weird is good.

    Welcome to the Weird Motorcyclist Club!

    disagrees...

    Well yes. I'd be in that in a flash. I'd even leave the (R1200)RT in
    the shed for the event...

    Jenny tells me that too. So far though, I have not figured out that of
    which she speaks...
    I might be convinced by the Ural...(1)

    Good idea, ugly as sin!

    (I'd probably take the Noggie, unless I'd finally got around to
    getting the Old Girl on the road...)

    I don't believe I've ever encountered any of those . "normal" people at
    any rallies I've attended. Try one.
    I'd like to take the opportunity to dispute that over a adds or three.

    Can I join? (Super Sherpa)

    Hey, how about a Weird Motorcycle Rally.

    No "trendy", "sporty", "hot", "popular" bikes allowed.

    Promising? No? Oh well...[/QUOTE]

    You'd join a club that would have you?

    No, if they're different to you, then they must be even.
    Is that why my wife needs to press about ten buttons every time she washes
    something?

  20. In what way is the Noggie a weird motorcycle? Absent the unorthodox
    V-twin engine and you've got a Triumph Sprint. Swap in a boxer twin and
    you've got the R1200 RT with attractive plastic.

    And Gerry's Super Sherpa is deservedly popular, so he can't join either. [1]

    [1] I meant the model is popular. Whether Gerry's particular unit is
    popular is not known to me.
