    Aint been on my bike since the dumb bitch rammed up my arse in the Audi
    a few weeks ago, so decided to give it a gentle bimble around...

    I had a pop at a 10 plate gixxer thou, did some knee down with a young
    lad on a very fucking mean sounding RGV 400 & taught a rather pleasant
    asian gent that his Evo FQ400 will *not* beat an R1 with a throttle
    happy **** like me on it, i even managed to get the front up by dropping
    a gear too many & opening it up too hard :)

    We got to the end of the road & he was grinning more than me :) He'd
    spent a fortune on it & it did go well, but went backwards compared to
    the bike....

    I love bikes, i really do

    :)

    Heh, I could usually see off most cars in first on the 12R or
    Blackbird from the lights. For those trying *really* hard i'd have to
    notch it up into second :)
    I have been commuting on the MT for a couple of weeks, but got back on
    (Paul's not your) Firestorm a couple of days ago.

    It's a revelation in power compared to 33BHP :¬)

    But, as WUN said, it's time to treat myself to a new bike ... :/

    An RGV what now?
    I've been showing the italians in this office the ITV4 footage from the
    TT.

    I get the impression they think the sections down Bray Hill and through
    Kirkmichael are fucking nuts.

  5. Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, zymurgy
    Oh, Christ yes.

    Large, black and with "Kawasaki" written on it would be my unhesitating
    recommendation.

    Could you beat one of those Mitsubishi Lancers on a twisty road in the rain?

    Compared to riding round Turin on a scooter they're pretty rational, I
    reckon.
