I've only gone and got me a new bike

I began with a shit CG 125 ( holy pushrods my arse)
Then i had a Div 600
The ninja 600 was a better bike
The gsxr 1000 was excellent
the Kwak 10r was better


I'm bored now

what should I get?

It needs to have gold taps, gps that tells me I'm in the midlands when
I'm in Gloustershitre, engine bars, tow bar, 105 rear sets, black
barbeque paint, mong handles, ohlins shock, a chipped shoulder, an
attitude that says i'm always right, a TIUTA number plate surround, a
sidestand that doesn't want to lay it down just before I'm about to go
out, a tail pack that will interrupt the progress of the rear wheel, a
shite immobilser, RAC cover, exhausts cut "just there", big brakes where
the bobbins dont hit someone, the ability to turn orange if I decide to
go Irish, nothing ginger *at all*, or purple!, wheelie on command, sense
diesel 500m away (including french diesel), have a sofa in the tail just
in case of a desparate moment, a 34" tft monitor (a 19" for each
mirror), a game of buckaroo for special occassions, then ability to
erect a straight shed (as if!!), a bitch ejector seat if she replies
wrongly to the TIUTA question, an Ebay URL checker, a BORG crusher, a
Rope slapper, accelerates faster than an M3, ultraseal in the tires and
some big luggage capacity.

Suggestions please, you fuckheads.

 

You could start by getting T1UTA as your registration.
As you might expect, it's on a hairdresser's car:

Make: MERCEDES
Model: SLK 230 KOMPRESSOR AUTO

 

Hooker's car, itym.

 

<squints at header>

actionjackson.com - is that where this motorcyclenewsgroup shite is
spewing forth from?

<prepares identity parade of the usual suspects>

 

Z200.

 

For a track bike? Suit you, sir.

In a field of similar bikes, it would be competitive.

 

^^^^^^^^^^
Best place for it.

 

Sometimes I think I might do it up as a track bike: ally tank, racing seat,
clip-ons, rearsets, decent suspension, wheels, brakes, but then I realise
that it would still be desperately slow and tedious on a track. I did the
"trying to keep up with proper bikes" thing the other month, and it was
stupid: down on the tank, redlining it through the gears, then feet on the
pillion pegs and left hand on the stanchion, while everybody trundled past
and up to the next junction to wait for me. And the crap brakes meant I had
to start slowing down a ridiculously long was out, which also slowed me
down.

**** that for a game of soldiers.

I guess I'm just not a fan of SOBs. I cansee they have their
uses[1] but I'm not likely to have that need[2].

[1] Urban commuting mainly.
[2] Being close to London, it's usually easier for me to use
the wonderful public transport system that we have.

 

I was thinking of the one we saw for sale in the paddock at Chimay.

You bastard, you lied to me

 

Yeah, but even done up with all the kit, it'll still be slow as ****.

The guy in the local Kawasaki shop had me sitting on a ZX-10R this morning.
Comfy it was, actually, but there's no way I'm shelling out the thick end of
eight grand for one. He did mention that the beige ones were cheaper.

 

I really only have it for high-speed continental touring. Mostly.

 

You can get a year old one for about 6k. I suspect your head would
explode, mind.

 

6k is still outer limits budget-wise. I'll nip out to the shed, utter the
Words of Power that resurrect the Evil Twin, and chunter round on it all
winter like the miserable old **** I am. And review the situation when the
rain starts getting warmer again.

Anyway, why should riding like a complete gurl make my head explode?

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This oblique reference to Bear's binning of Hilary's Raptor, plus other
references, convince me that this is a regular having some fun.

Come on, own up.

 

The Older Gentleman says...

Of course it is, he made reference to this new bike not having purple in
the colour scheme, which is a pet hate of mine.

I haven't lost my mind, it's
backed up to a floppy disc
that's around here somewhere.

 

No, he wouldn't - if you ride it like a girl, it's even more of a ****
of a ride than when you give it some. Fucking uncomfortable *and*
slow. He's already got the Z200 for that.

It would.
