"I may be short but I ride a fucken bigger bike than any of you
taller bastards!" was a literary creation of Betty's. She has the
copyright on it. If you have a problem with it, I suggest you take
it up with the young whippersnapper...

And while it's still Pedant Week, I meant to type "limp" instead of
"lip".

And while I'm on a roll, I might add that one could (I said COULD)
suggest that if the guy was wishing he had a bigger penis, then it
COULD be argued that you COULD be suffering from an as-yet-undiagnosed
case of penis envy. One COULD say this, but being the gentleman and
non-troll-like personage that I am, I would never dream of it...

Still quivering with anticipation...

There is a difference, 2 is the bike-penis thing whereas 1 implies that
she'd ride a shorter bike if a suitable shorter bike was available but
one that meets the other requirements isn't available (for whatever reason).

To be honest there aren't a lot of reasonable priced mid-sized V-Twins
around either...

I know a Sick one who was o... a bit phant though.

That is, indeed, my impression.

I tested the 1050 before I ordered the Triplet, and, while it had lots
of grunt, it was a big and (IMHO) cumbersome beast, great as an open
road blaster, but hard work to zip along twisties.

It was also too tall for me to be comfortable. I prefer to get a bike
which is slightly lower in the first place, and, if I can, adjust the
rear up to where I feel comfy.

Dunno about the 675R. Quite a few of the folk who got the Triplet have
swapped in second hand Daytona rear shocks from Daytona folk upgrading,
so how good is the Daytona shock? <shrug>

Adjustable-ness on the front...dunno...with the change in spring on
mine, properly setup, I'm happy and don't feel the need to fiddle any more.

Brakes, for me, are perfectly adequate.
I am not a daemon late-braker anyway, but I have given them a fair work
out without any dramas.

What is this "pwn"?

At one stage, when I was waiting on the bike, it looked like I might get
a green one, and I was intending to have it resprayed N.R.

But...that's exactly what Triumph did, made a girlie version of the
Speed Triple.

You are a giant, compared to Bren Lesslie.

Probably before your time at aus.moto, but Daren and Bren used to hang
about here. Bren is petite (she told me so, after I called her tiny!)
and had great difficulty in finding a reasonable road bike, although she
rode a GP 125 at track days and race meetings.

I lent her my Z50 for one of the Pink Ribbon rides, a few years ago, and
she seemed to have a great time of it. Certainly she didn't look as
ridiculous as I must do, riding it.

At the risk of alienating (again???) the entire NG, I think the whole
sport-bike thing is a "my dick is bigger than your dick" thing. Of
course mine could just be a case of "sport bike envy"...

There could be a PHD thesis in this thing somewhere...

Which reminds me of Australia Day weekend 1994... Some dude at UNSW
had just finished writing his thesis in the wee hours and was so "over
the moon" about it, he got on his bike and went for a blat up Library
Hill. Hit the concrete at Library tunnel. Died instantly. Ten years
worth of part time study, and a whole life, blown away in a
five-second adrenalin hit.

There's got to be a moral in there somewhere...

Thanks G-S Gerry seems to be having some comprehension issues -
or perhaps he's just being stubbornly obtuse. Naaaaaaah, not
Gerry... ;-)

I certainly would like the Norge to be the same size as the 850T.

ON the T I was flat footed and knees bent, and it was certainly
adequate in the power stakes. If I could have got a lighter throttle
(and the only way to do that would be to retrofit fuel injection...)
then I'd still be riding it.

The Norge is too tall for me but I ride it because it does everything
I want superbly well. If the V750 Classic had been available and I
could have put my ugly-as-a-hatful fairing on it I would have been
tempted as I think it would pull a trailer OK. It has the same power
as my old T after all.

If the 850 Norge had been a small block and so smaller physically I'd
have bought that - but it is just a neutered 1200.

So put me in the "I wish the bike was a bit smaller, if they made one
that was smaller and lighter but had the fairing and luggage I'd have
bought it!" camp.

- still missing the T heaps.

 

There's probably been one already, well, perhaps not specifically
on bike/pensx envy...

About 18 months ago, someone here reported seeing a crashed bike and
an (apparent) body under a sheet somewhere in the Central/Redfern/
Chippendale area (the Sydney one). That guy (Dr Nicola Bruti-Liberati)
was awarded his PhD posthumously, his fiance accepted the award at
the same ceremony at which I graduated. He was (again posthumously)
awarded the Chancellor's award for the best PhD thesis at our
university in 2007. A brilliant quantitative financier, apparently.

Being the next motorcycle riding PhD student in line in the same
faculty isn't comfortable. There's lots of eyes on me now!!!

Bikes and doctorates don't mix?

Betty, none of us really thought you had a bigger dick. You're quite
fortunately really. My daughter says she's 5' but I know she's 4' 11
1/2". She's going to be forced to buy a Harley, they're designed for
the low crowd.
