ACDC - highway to hell. (warmed up one day to it blasting on the stereo while i got my gears on), then attempted to beat my own personal record by 7 minutes(on a 30 minute ride). "no stop signs...speed limits...nobody's gonna slow me down" well as you may have guessed, I was WAY too hyped and threw my R6 down a section of the twistsys past kk-bay. i managed to get it together by plugging the case holes with cigarette butts and blasted it home just in time to catch a lift to the airport. doh!
dam my broken finger throbbed in that pressurised cabin(served me right).
or maybe you were thinking of something a little cruisier?
hows "leader of the pack... brrrm brrrm" sound. lol 8-)

I sometimes sing to myself while I'm riding along. Usually it's a song I've heard not long before I go riding. "Little Honda" is a favourite, and also some Buddy Holly ("Rave On"; "That'll be the Day"; "That'll be the Day"; "It doesn't Matter Anymore")

No wonder my husband refuses to get bike-to-bike communication!

Damn with songs that old do you roll out Val Doonican and Burl Ives as well? Or Roger Whittaker?

What about really modern stuff like the Beatles and Neil Diamond or Barry Manilow?

It needs a reco motor, which I am finding realy hard to find, only one is in Tauranga at Eco Honda, but hes gonna charge $500.00 plus and its not even reconditioned!!!

Otherwise I have to find the parts to reco myself and those are even harder to find.

I would just buy another bike but, I have to sell the one I got to do it ( catch 22 ).


:argh:

[bluninja]

I guess Suffer by Staind might be appropriate then.

TTFN

[Jackrat]

Or Buddy Guy=Damn right I got the blues.
Mate If you can,t find a part,You can contact Blue wing Honda an you will be able to get the parts from Japan.
Honda can supply any part for any bike they have ever made.
Remember cams can be rebuilt,sleves can be made an pressed in here,pistons an rings can be had from other models.
I feel for ya,dude.Good luck.

[MadDuck]

uuummm...i guess "Hit the road jack" aint the song I should be humming to myself as i go along then??? (No pun intended Jackrat) :D

I just bought an IPod so have the luxury of 5000 songs on the move....hell wicked......it is great as you never need to listen to the same songs over and over - it plugs in to my car stereo and stereo and has a fantastically long cord so it works wonderfully in a helmet (yes I am still riding now and then - just not my bike -which will be sold in the next 3 weeks for anyone who is interested -lol)

[Jackrat]
