[p.dath]

Yeah hah! Now you'll be able to "invest" that money in more petrol!

That's the trouble with Jap bikes, by the time you pay for 'em they're fucked.
(And worthless.)

Have yet to experience one on my fat lollipop.
There's a lot to be said for a large, un-stressed engine.

Wellll.....it's not fucked - yet. An' it hasn't broken down - yet. Just eaten three sets of tyres, two chains and sprockets, several litres of oil and about 1800 litres of gas...not to mention two sets of insurance and quite a lot of money on blingy bits...and it's only fallen down once. So far.

[Genie]

stop with all this 'yet'......you're bringing it on.

and can you list all the fun this bike has given you thus far?........makes for an interesting thread. Especially the two sets of insurance????????

Two sets of insurance - one for each year insured. No claims.

List the fun? Well.........it's taken me 40,000km around the top half of the North Island in the elapsing two years. Including round Lake Taupo last winter - icy roads and all. And a 1000km loop through Norfland at New Year. It has been to Raglan and back many dozens of times and has run the length of SH39 quite literally, hundreds of times. It has gone down the coast(ish) road to Awakino (that was way cool). It has been to Kawhia and back several times and gone round Kawhia harbour twice. It has run through SH22 several times and done the half coro loop once - the full version is to come as soon as I get fine weather and a reliever on the same day...It has shown me 212km/hr on the clock once (on a closed private road of course). It has always started, never stopped, taken good care of me on several occasions when I have hit loose metal in a corner or run into a sheep and generally behaved impeccably at all times. It has given excellent gas mileage and has been economical on tyres as well. When I bought it, I knew very little about the particular model except for two things -a) it was a V Twin and b) I could afford it. Turned out to be an excellent machine and one I would recommend to anyone. I would have to say it has brought me more joi de vivre in the last two years than anything else I have done in that same period. Top marks, little bike, you have done well!

How's that?


Well done, just taking the piss.


Yeah - that's OK - I've had worse taken out of me...

[Genie]

That is absolutely, positively wonderfully amazingly awesome. wow, what a fantastic bike you bought. So good to read you have been getting aound a bit.

Now I've got your brain working, how many meals? Snacks? alcoholic beverages?


nah, forget all that.....how about all the wonderful people your bike had introduced you too?

Hmmmm...not many meals, no alcoholic beverages (no alcomohol allowed for me even though I own a shop full of the stuff...) but LOTS of coffee...I'm a caffeine rider - get hyped up on espresso and go like hell (nah just kidding - I am a slo fox after all).

Yes some excellent people too who hopefully know who they are - if I name names I will omit someone and cause grief - can't be having with that. AND of course, the most wonderful online community that calls itself KB. Gives me things to do during the very boring parts of my day in a wine shop.

That's wot I tell the Missus but she still wants me to lose weight...

[peasea]

That's wot I tell the Missus but she still wants me to lose weight...

Would that be rotating weight or reciprocating weight?

[Edbear]

She's tried reciprocating but given up saying hers is hormonal due to her age... :bye:

So I guess it's the rotating, (or should that be rotund), weight then... :shifty:

Hmm, the way I was thinking was; 'reciprocating' being an up and down motion with the 'rotational' motion being 'I can't be bothered' and facing in the opposite direction in the sack.

Interpretation is an interesting thing.

I love the English language! Especially when words can have different meanings!

I think we have a fairly good balance of reciprocation and rotation... :shutup:

Interesting read the Treaty document... Both sides seem to have a different interpretation of what was supposed to be written. Nowadays it can be interpreted pretty much however the pollies and interested parties want it to be.

[Grasshopperus]

Slofox, weren't you posting recently about being in such financial dire straights that you might have to sell the bike? Save your $$ dude.

Sounds like you put a lot of K's on your bikes (fugall resale), ride your current bike into the ground by which time you'll have saved enough to buy your new bike freehold.

Yep, I've got it alllllllllllll figured out for you, no charge.

Yea - I was indeed posting that. But I decided to sell the house instead and keep the bike...

Last payment paid over yesterday. So that's $85.00 per week that is no longer going out of the bank vault...now, what can I spend it on instead..?

As opposed to a Harley that's fucked from the moment you pick it up..???

Well you know something? It doesn't take long to surf the net and realise that whatever you think of HD's, they hold their value generally speaking. Also, (and again, generally speaking) they tend to be reliable these days. Sure, some earlier examples had their shortcomings, what earlier examples of ANY bike didn't, but today's HD's keep on rolling along in their typically unstressed fashion.

Lastly; I have seen many jap bikes on fires but not one Triumph, Duke, BSA, Norton or harley. There's a reason for that. Can't wait to see the next one.

If one pays cash for a japper, then surely that would put your theory into question?
