I AM NOT DEAD!

Discussion in 'UK Motorcycles' started by Sean Hamerton, May 24, 2006.

  1. Hello everyone.

    It's been a while, so I shall start where I left off.

    As many of you will be aware, I suffered total and catastrophic engine
    failure on my return from the rather good BoSM. I will omit details of
    the crash, as the posts are forever trapped in Usenet, that is, unless
    some trolling wanker has H4XX3D Google Groups and obliterated them from
    the whole Internet...

    After the crash, I was lucky enough to be offered cash for the whole
    bike, sans CDI unit, after advertising bits on eBay. I only took £200
    for the bike, as I couldn't be bothered to break it up further, and I
    was pleased to have been offered that much for a bike with a shagged
    engine, fairing, front brake and clip-ons.

    Following this sale, which, incidentily, barely covered 2/3 of the
    recovery fees from the M23 to my house, I drooled over the Suzuki
    website for many weeks, weighing up the pros and cons of my options,
    and finally took the plunge, ordering a Brand Spanking New Bandit 650
    K6 in 'Nebular Black' on their 0% finance odffer. Suzuki were also kind
    enough to subsidise my insurance policy, cutting it from around £1000,
    to a rather spiffing £490 for fully comp with all the expected bells
    and whistles.

    I collected the bike on Saturday and have covered 140 miles, and can
    now start bringing the revs up as the break-in period progresses.

    As such, I fully intend to take part in the majority of the calendered
    events for the rest of the year, including the JOGLE run and, of
    course, the EoSM, whereupon I intend to return home without mishap.

    How about that...

    Also, take care and have fun all of you going on the run to Sedan this
    weekend...

    You might not be dead but I still don't have a cunting clue who you are.

    You should have followed Robbo and I through Central London @ BoSM.

  4. There are nudes of me on the internet somewhere, love.

    Were you at BoSM? Maybe you saw me there.

    He's the young hairy hobbit sized man I escorted to BoSM this year
    along with our Germanian friend. The general consensus from fellow
    UKRMers is that he spoke a lot but there's more transmit than receive
    about him in the conversation department.

    He's also doing the Jogle[1] run along with Big Dave, Scraggy and I in
    late July.

    Oh, and he lives in Brighton.

    He's that very nice bloke what looks like Billy Zane.

    He hangs out with (not *of* apparently) BGN too. Always together them two.

    Mmmmm...:)

  11. I didn't like the black or blue Draggins. And the jacket has all the
    bits one looks for, looked nice at the time and wasn't too pricey.

  12. You might have an embarassing incident far sooner than that if you keep
    propping it up on a piece of slimy wet wood.

  14. It feels lovely, so smooth it could be running on an electric motor...

    I could liken it to getting a blowjob from a high-class escort with ice
    in her mouth, compared with the rough back-alley handjob from a
    skaghead that was my rattling GPZ.

    really, TMI.

    Greetings.

    Some might consider a post with such an auspicious subject to be akin
    to not only poking a finger in the eye of Fate, but also placing a
    whoopee cushion on Fate's favourite chair and playing "knocky-go-hide"
    on Fate's front door.

    Not me, however; I wish you the rudest of health. DFC and all that.
