Three aussies were working on a high-rise building project - Steve, Bruce and Bluey. Steve falls off and is killed instantly.

As the ambulance takes the body away, Bruce says, "Someone should go
and tell his wife."

Bluey says, "OK, I'm pretty good at that sensitive stuff, I'll do it."

Two hours later, he comes back carrying a case of Fosters.

Bruce says, "Where did you get that, Bluey?"

"Steve's wife gave it to me," Bluey replies.

"That's unbelievable, you told the lady her husband was dead and she gave you the beer?"

"Well not exactly," Bluey says. "When she answered the door, I said to her, 'You must be Steve's widow'.
She said, 'No, I'm not a widow.'
And I said, 'I'll bet you a case of Fosters you are'."

Yep - it's a joke! Isn't it?

[Dadpole]

Why? Looks a perfectly practical sports cruiser to me. I assume it's got a decent sized engine. Only difference I can see between that and lots of cruiser/touring bikes is the position of the fuel tank. No rule says a motorbike isn't a motorbike unless it has a fuel tank up high just forward of the rider. I declare, motorcyclists must be the most conservative fuddy duddy people on the planet. Just because a designer doesn't follow everyone else like a sheep doesn't invalidate his design. Yet so sheeplike is the motorcycling world, that if a designer (very sensibly) says " up high and in front is a piss poor place to put a fuel tank. i'll move it somewhere sensible - and then I can make the whole get on get off process easier AND provide a decently comfortable seat", the whole world blags him until he follows the sheep rules and puts a dummy petrol tank up there.


Why do motorcyclists always put reactionary appearance before good engineering ? Make the best engineered bike in history, but unless it looks like every other bike (except for a different tail light !) no one will buy it, it seems.

Not my personal preference for type of bike but I certainly wouldn't say it was a joke.

[vifferman]

It's not a joke, and if I remember correctly, it has a reasonable sized engine with lots of go-fast goodies. The aerofoil's a bit OTT though, unless it enhances the wheelieing capability.
