Forum: General Bike Ravings

I have never worked this one out. I did ask in a motorbike shop once and the reply was "we don't make enough money on a sunday to break even". Surely more people are around to buy accessories and trial bikes on a sunday than on a week day? Just never made sense, you don't see harvey norman...

Saw a poker run and a rally posters (two different events) today. American, European and British bikes only. WTF? Racist cunts (and don't they realise Britain is part of Europe?). How 'bout someone runs a rally for Jap & Korean bikes only?

I'm sure there's already been a thread mentioning this but I think it bears reiterating. Check your mirrors while splitting. Most people I come up behind while splitting wave me though. If I see someone splitting faster than me I signal that I've seen them and move aside as quick as I can....

Guess a few of you might have had dealings with these guys but, I ordered and paid for some exhaust items in mid Jan ( Close to $1500 and paid for) and I get the feeling I'm being fobbed off. Still have'nt arrived and I'm told they might be delivered now sometime in April ( Originally told mid Feb...

Shes a bit chilly, Packed the bike away for winter. Roll on summer.

"Interesting", I thought to meself, "I bet this falls on deaf ears in New Zealand..." Largely cage related but still relevant to bikers. From Motor Times, Thursday 18th...(Waikato Times). "Safety expert for Mercedes says strict speeding laws are not the answer to lowering road tolls. ...

Strikes me that there are a brazillian different bikes on this place and I'm curious what people own and what they think of them. I own a 2004 Triumph Thunderbird Sport, I've had it a year and ridden 12,000 ks on it. I have Harris pipes and it sounds like a Spitfire on steroids, it handles way...
