    Hayley always takes one look at the headlight on Suzuki's and declares they
    look like a clitoris (!) I've never been able to take a Gixxer seriously
    since :)

    The only person I know who had one of those was Judge, so clearly they
    are ****-chariots of the first water.

    If he didn't spend years thinking about it, the official NigeDarsy
    scale of motorcycle purchasing decisions would be rendered meaningless.

    Well, if they lit up they'd be nice and easy to find.

    Acquire a clamp or a bit of pole. Phone the local H&S bods and say it
    landed on the path in front of you, and you're quite worried, because you
    think the scaffolding has been abandoned.

    what about a large sign, similar to the ones that read "this important work
    being carried out by thieving **** builders ltd", but reading:

    CANNOT BE BOTHERED TO FINISH WORK
    DUE TO GENERAL IDLENESS
    ANY QUESTIONS LEAVE A MESSAGE ON

    are you objecting to my dislike of Kwaks or just the feral apostrophe?
    I wanted a fast lorry, and given the lack of reasonably priced 'busas
    it makes perfect sense.

    very little of my deliberation time has been wasted, bike-wise in the
    past couple of years. Cars now, that's a different story. Although my
    decision /method/ was sound last time around (weighted spreadsheet
    with all the candidates I was considering), the process itself was
    flawed because I hadn't considered a wide enough sample set.

    After careful consideration of how to best spend your money. This one.
    Looks like every ****'s going for the ZX12 anyway.

    I have no bike other than the K1200S or you could have borrowed that.
    If i get a decent bike in the mean time, feel free to borrow it.

    I just umm and ahh for a bit, then decide on impulse what I want to buy
    and then go and buy one. Car, bike, whatever. Simples!

    well, it's what I've been trying to do in the last couple of years:
    "think less".

    heh. If my hazy memory serves me correct, didn't the ZRX battery fry
    itself before/during a TOGtour ?
