I worked out my effective petrol costs and realised I had spent $1000 in 3 months off riding when I first bought mine. Bikes maybe cheaper, but always want to go home the long way ;).

Like I'm ever wrong ya japper lover.:nya:

Sweet front end innit.

The new Speed triple is a step up again. If I didn't look so stupid on one...since i've had the buell I'm doing tricks I haven't done since dirt bikes in the bush - jumps and one wheel stuff - having a ball.

Nothing like these kids that grew up on BMX, but after living with the buells one wheel capability i'm keen to get back on a S3 for some hijinx. The Honda is good for a bit of that stuff too. And the motor works at 3,500rpm like the Triple.

I was booked to come down and see you for the weekend - but the weather forecast on Tuesday was for heavy rain and gale force winds - so i cancelled - now it looks like it will be OK - fuk it! Eddie was even going to lend me the R3 for the parade ride. Double fuk it!!

Have a good one - regards to the boys.

A lot of bike for the dollars. A bloke at work just invested in a Hornet too.

Definitely a consideration for my next bike.

Am I the only one who uses my google toolbar as a spell-checker? :innocent:

Even if you're not, the BDOTGNZA approves wholeheartedly.

i certainly don't bother. It's chatter - I don't worry if people don't use correct grammar when i am face to face communicating - certainly not busting a nut on typos in this disposable medium.

wari is the only one I have any trouble understanding - but thats the intention. - and the yang for the esteemed Mr Hitcher's yin (sounds rude the other way around)

While it is nice to tread the occasional post that actually makes sense without the need for interpretation, I don't even know what a Google tool bar is. I don't think I want one though, my current screen is only 19" and I don't want clutter..

How does that, (the above), beat the 10 character thingy? :scratch:

As my little experiment above shows, the 'smiles' text counts to wards the character count.
