.SIG Change

It has arrived. Mucho cheers to Lozzo for the lift down to Brizzle.

By **** missus, it's a big 'un. I used to think the 'Wing was a heavy
fucker, but this one takes the biscuit.

It has a centre stand. Purely decoration I assume, because there is *no*
way I'm going to be able to get it on it without a jack.

It dunnarf go, too. Which, given the somewhat iffy handling, could prove
interesting. Mined ewe, the tyres definitely need some air, which may
improve things from "murderous", to "wounding with intent".

 

After the late '80's tourer fest that was Saturday afternoon, I think
you definitely need to try the Sportster next time you're in town. More
go than the Goldwing and the BMW put together, with worse handling than
either and brakes like the Z200. Oh and feels like a Rabbit connected
direct to the national grid rather than to a couple of AAs.

But that's only because I really want to try the Z13

Hmm... Sounds irresistible. Do I *have* to wear the leather chaps
though?

It's a date, big boy. EOSM?

 

I thought that might work ;-)

No, simply the leatherique thong. I'm probably going to play with the
ergonomics to make it significantly less comfortable but slightly more
manoeuvrable tomorrow (replacing the forwards with mids)

Hmm... *If* I make it to EOSM, it will only be because we have left
Horse at the POL [1]. But due to the logistics that would leave you
driving the Citroen Saxo 954 RR SP EXUP.

Battlestar Galactica, innit?!?!

Need some air??

FFS they were about 2psi off flat!

Did it look like a moped when I sat on it?

You're not far wrong, 25 in the front, 28 in the rear. =8^O

Not even you could do that. I'll try to figure out a way to get the
piccie off of my phone, and onto a website.

Oh well, we'll treat it like a 68.

You know, you can owe me one...

Bad form and all that, but a better idea just occurred.

You can HAGM on the Z13, and I'll HAGM on Tracey. How's that?

 

OK, if you can persuade her then you're a better man than I, Gunga din

That's your job, I'm crap at chatting up other people's wives.

I really need someone who could give me lessons.

 

Paging Bear....

Thank you Murray...

 

"Dave? Hello Dave..."

 

"You're my wife now"

 

Well, SWMBO advises that Bear crashed & burned

Well, that's what she told *you*.

 

Probably their own little set of code words, I reckon.

"Safe" words, ITYM.

 

Aha... you saw Brasseye, too...

 

Nigel Eaton says...

It is a thing of rare beauty. The dashboard is one of the finest
examples and early 80s bling that I've ever seen, and as for the trip
computer...

Now does anybody know Arto Nyquist's phone number?
