That guy that just learned to ride?

Bought an SV1000.

Prace bets now.

 

Bets on what, how many X chromosomes he's got?

See I can say things like that now that I haven't got a pink bike. I
might have a lump of raw steak for breakfast tomorrow.

 

Bets on what? It's not exactly a fire-breathing litre sportsbike.

 

He'll be fine I reckon.

Wasn't there somebody here a while back who went pretty much straight
onto a top end sports bike and the proceeded to ride rings round most
people?

 

Ah, I'm glad you pointed that out. I seem to be having parsing problems and
read it as S1000RR.

 

<purses lips>

Sounds liker a ringer to me.

 

I went to collect the gixer from Wheelpower this evening and the cheeky
swine there talked me into having a sit on one of the new RSV4s. I must
never, ever, ever do that again. Or arrange a test ride [1].

The left-hand-operated gearshift is a bit wacky.

[1] This is very much on my to-do list

 

Daz Lewis - started out on a CBR600 and progressed to a GSXR1000 in
short order, then went racing on one. The boy could ride.

I was thinking he meant Monz

 

You and Packer, see - you're becoming one.

 

Ugh. What a horrible idea.

 

Alferd Packer?

 

I can see the two of you on the porch swing now, swapping roadkill,
sharing 'shine and strumming each other's banjos.

The beast with two 'necks.

 

I thought his first name was Fudge, but perhaps I'm wrong.

 

Nah, I think we have totally opposing views on roadkill. I do stop to
check it sometimes, but only if it looks like it might still be alive &
resuscitable. Porch swing & a bottle of Rioja otoh...

Heh.

 

I've only got one rusting vehicle tyvm. And my house is officially no
longer classified as derelict. Anyway, what's wrong with having a
little bit of Beirut in Wiltshire? I think it's a nice way to reflect
our multi-cultural society.

 

<Glows with pride>

Nothing wrong with SV/TL 1000 as your first bike... you WILL learn how
to wheelie

 

Sounds like our views are opposing, if it needs resusitating I need to
kill it before it gets cut up and placed in the freezer.

 

I don't have any rusting vehicles. The MOT people were happy with
oldest vehicle I have; the pickup. OK, it does have a few small bits
of rust but nothing serious. I suppose the K75 comes into that
category as well but that's just been ebayed so it's not really mine
anymore.

Plus, my house is hardly derelict and I don't have dogs anymore.

You're a nasty man Mr Champion and no mistake.

 

He's got a bit of a cheek if you ask me. The most un-roadworthy bike
I've got here is his, & his new pad looks more derelict than mine.

For the first few feet from the front door.

If you look up.





<begrudgingly>

The rest of it is bloody fantastic though.
