Sob...

It's gone. I am, for the first time since I arrived in France,
bike-less.

As it goes, I got slightly less than I wanted for it, but wasn't too
fussed.

Now I've got to get my BiL's arse into gear with the new bike.
Otherwise I might end up buying a B-King.

 

that shouldn't stop you listing one in your .sig

How do you work that one out?

 

Ahhh, the penny has dropped. I'm still working and I'm bolloxed.

 

I saw a B-King in Fowlers the other day. From the front, it looked like a
streamlined plastic Kettenrad.

 

Sucking his keyboard for inspiration, platypus typed:

I was looking at one today in the local dealership. ****, it was ugly.

 

I really like it. Mind you, it's a concept bike, innit?

 

I've owned bikes that have been a little off the beaten track, aesthetically
speaking, so I'm not bothered by weird. But the B-King was like, gah.

Laura hadn't seen one before. "Heh. It's like a Transformer." And the
surprised comedy face on the back end, what's that all about?

I've been looking at Suzuki's brochure, trying (unsuccessfully) to find an
explanation for those fat plastic leg protectors, and it says "Tuned For
Torque", so it'll be a slug. Honestly, it's a B12 that's crashed into a
toyshop.

 

I wanted one until I saw one IRL.

 

I've seen them in the flesh. I do still like them.

 

So what's stopping you? I can't remember what you'd decided on, but it
doesn't sound like you're very certain.

No, no, I still have my eye on the other bike. I'm just working on the
logistics now. The B-King was going to be a fall back, in case plan no.
1 didn't work.

 

But what is it, this 'other bike'?

Gwan gwan gwan, you know you want to.

I wanted something more sporty. So am considering a Gixxer thou.

You'll be the laugh of the Periph

Want to buy new or second hand?

Heh. There's something harleyesque about it with my initial impressions
that "frimeurs" [1] would like to buy this sort of bike.

New. Why, you have something interesting s/h?

[1] Poseurs. I think I've spelt it correctly.

 

BTW, where are you linving in France ?

Better drowning yourself in the Seine
