MV vs, Honda

[Finn]

I'm gonna try something new, that is talk about bikes for a change.

Since getting the MV 4 months ago, the world’s best superbike has been gathering dust in the garage along with the other poor excuses for attempted escapism from the daily bullshit.

I've ridden the MV every day since then it is now my main commuter. Many may view this as sacrilege but given what it replaced, I consider it a very cheap alternative. Now only those that have ridden an MV could even come close to explain the experience. It is 100% bike. Raw, brutal and does what its fucken told and doesn't piss about.

Now stay with me, I'm coming to my point. Every work day and weekend, I get ready, go to the garage and always throw my leg over the MV. However, this morning was different. I decided to jump on the Honda. It didn't take long to appreciate what a fantastic bike it is. I almost felt sorry for neglecting it for so long. Smooth, precise, nimble & refined. I thought to myself "fuck, I wish the MV was this smooth"

Actually I don't know what my point is, you see, I've been drinking. Quite a lot, but I will say this; nothing has given me the same satisfaction as bikes. I've spent ridiculous money on cars over the years and the thrill has always been short lived. Since I was a kid, I always wanted a Porsche. At the age of 35 I got one. It took 6 months to arrive and on the way home, I thought "okay, where's the buzz?" it never happened. 2 weeks later, it was a mode of transport taking up space in my garage. I've been riding bikes for 1 year now, and every time I throw my leg over 2 wheels, I get the same buzz I got when I was 6 years old and Santa introduced me to 2 wheels.

In short, I like bikes.

[MattRSK]

Good to have a choice I guess!

[Finn]

It's got nothing to do with money. My Street Magic would be more fun than a Nissan Primera.

[SARGE]

you could buy an airplane Finn...:lol:


or a dachshund..

[MattRSK]

I wasnt getting at the money thing. For me biking is still unreal, exciting and thrilling. The great escape. I have only been riding for 6 months or so!

[boomer]

i'll swap you the 600 for the blade for a month and then you''ll really have a grin on ya face:whistle:

[Finn]

you could buy an airplane Finn...:lol:


or a dachshund..

At least I know I'm not the only one drinken tonight.

My garage is not big enough.

[Ixion]

Not big enough for a dachshund?

You need to upgrade your accomodation.

[SARGE]

At least I know I'm not the only one drinken tonight.

My garage is not big enough.

so buy the Air Force Base .. you can afford it and gawd knows NZ aint using it...

[bane]

My garage is not big enough.

*this comment deleted due to lack of any relevance - my most humblest apologies*

oh what the hell, Finn you rich c**t

[Finn]

Not big enough for a dachshund?

You need to upgrade your accomodation.

I've already got a Schnauzer. Coincidently, his name is Finn. Finn has no balls and likes walks in the park. No jokes please.

the jokes write themselves man ...:lol:

[Ixion]

Um, actually, uh Sarge, just for clarification, like, WHY does Mr Finn need a dachshund ?

[SARGE]

Um, actually, uh Sarge, just for clarification, like, WHY does Mr Finn need a dachshund ?

everyone needs a dachshund man ..


or a milkshake ..


i like mine with Scotch and boysenberry ripple

[Finn]

There's an infraction right there. You've taking this thread off topic. You're a mod and should know better, however if anyone complains tell them I said it was okay. After all, it is my thread and anything goes.

[SARGE]

After all, it is my thread and anything goes.

uh oh....hide the dachshunds

[MattRSK]

Snakes on a plane

[SARGE]

Snakes on a plane

thats totally uncalled for ...


yellow card :Pokey:

[Finn]

Shit, while I was blabbing on about bikes, I forgot to watch superbikes.

[Zed]

Great Honda plug Finn! :2thumbsup

I didn't know you'd only been riding a year, and most of that in Auckland traffic I presume. I trust KB has been an encouragement to you and has accelerated your learning progress.

[Finn]

Great Honda plug Finn! :2thumbsup

I didn't know you'd only been riding a year

Thanks Zed. Anybody that has ridden with me would draw the same conclusion. You'd think I'd been riding for years when in reality, I'm just an older Markauckland with a bit of money.

I don't believe you Finn, I think you're a filthy liar! If you want to convince me into believing this drunken dribble you'll have to let me test ride both bikes.

[Finn]

I don't believe you Finn, I think you're a filthy liar! If you want to convince me into believing this drunken dribble you'll have to let me test ride both bikes.

Fine, all you have to do is ask. I'm not that precious about my bikes.

Crash them though and you'll be working for me for life.

[SARGE]

great .. im on my way over ..

i'll bring the scotch

[Finn]

great .. im on my way over ..

i'll bring the scotch

Working for free Sarge.

[SwanTiger]

Crash them though and you'll be working for me for life.
I'm already trying to get a job with your company, if crashing your bike was all I had to do to get a job you should of said so in the first place!

[SARGE]

Working for free Sarge.

im used to that ... :doh:

dude .. dont .. he makes everyone call him Lord Aaron the Shaggable

[SwanTiger]

dude .. dont .. he makes everyone call him Lord Aaron the Shaggable
So what have you had to drink tonight SARGE? ...

[SwanTiger]

Finn, on a serious note, are you still selling the CBR? or have you rekindled the love.

[imdying]

So let me get this straight... you have to be drunk before the Fireblade is a better bike than the Brutale?

[SARGE]

Oi i have a primera.

the first step is admitting it ...

[The_Dover]

Oi i have a primera.
:lol: :lol: :lol:

and a VTR.:Pokey: Jeesus christ DYNA.

The closet is open, take the next step.:buggerd:

[Finn]

So let me get this straight... you have to be drunk before the Fireblade is a better bike than the Brutale?

No, you have to be drunk to post shit like I did last night.

[Shaun]

Well Mr Finn, I hope to be racing an MV at the Isle of man next year, so you may just have to buy that airplane and come watch

[Finn]

Excellent. MV are making a great come back on the racing circuits. Good luck, we'll be watching.

[RantyDave]

"You must spread some reputation around..."

I'm gonna try something new, that is talk about bikes for a change.
Hey man, steady on that's crazy talk. Imagine what would happen if everyone started talking about bikes. You can open a can of worms, y'know.

I've ridden the MV every day since then it is now my main commuter. Many may view this as sacrilege but given what it replaced, I consider it a very cheap alternative.
I remember when you were first considering an MV as a daily commuter and this whole "sacrilege" thing first reared it's ugly head. I don't get it. I don't understand why it's sacriligeous (sp?). If one has a bike, from 50cc scooter up to an MV, surely it is ones right, honour and responsibility to take it for a burn on every possible opportunity. I especially don't get the idea of having an MV in the gargre and some shitter to commute on. Maybe if it's pissing it down but.... Anyway. Perhaps someone could explain.

Since I was a kid, I always wanted a Porsche. At the age of 35 I got one. It took 6 months to arrive and on the way home, I thought "okay, where's the buzz?" it never happened.
Problem is that you have an insufficiently small amount to prove. You are at one with your inner self and don't feel the need to prove it to anyone else. You are unsuited to supercar (or, rather, Porsche) ownership. You do, however, have the need to cane around on the best pieces of engineering you can actually buy from, like, a shop. I believe you are in good company.

I like bikes too. Bikes are good.

Dave

[SARGE]

Whatever, Honda makes cool bikes like this one, a three wheeled scooter :dodge:




dude .. does the NZ Police have any counseling services for its officers?


check into it ... seriously...

[keza]

You are moments away from feeling the wrath of The Hitcher.

HITCHER!!!!!!!

[SARGE]

Whatever, look at that comfy seat and safety conscious headlight and the ultra modern square box design



but how would you make Quota if everyone rode one of those??????

[SARGE]

I dont have a quota so it doesnt bother me. Imagine the cornering you could do, the whole bike leans but the base doesnt...moto gp scooter :Pokey:

hell.. just get a Gyro

[McJim]

I dont have a quota so it doesnt bother me. Imagine the cornering you could do, the whole bike leans but the base doesnt...moto gp scooter :Pokey:

m'gonna sell my VTR250 so I can stop being like you dude. Sadness.

[Ixion]

Cornering must be interesting. Does it lean like the Ariel 3

[scumdog]

Whatever, look at that comfy seat and safety conscious headlight and the ultra modern square box design

Down here they're called mobility scooters.......:lol:

[S&S]

Your worrying me dude.... :whistle:

[The_Dover]

Dyna, wipe those skids off your helmet.

[pritch]

HITCHER!!!!!!!

Hitcher? Interpreter more like...

[The_Dover]

Dude, a search warrant for drugs and guns doesn't mean you can sniff my underwear.

I'm calling the PCA. I feel violated.

[SARGE]

Who said anything about underwear. Your retention problems means it seeps through to your leathers.

I wondered what the smell coming from the seat of your bike was...



do you sniff motorcycle seats often Dyna??

seek help bro... seriously..

[MD]

And Finn said HE was pissed when he typed this thread! This guy knows drunk when he types it.

Hey Finn, great to hear that you are enjoying the bikes so much. Just don't try and rush the "I've got to prove that I can outride Rossi " hype. You wont enjoy riding so much from a hospital bed and you can't enjoy tomorrow's ride if you die today. No, seriously it's been proven by science and statistics that death can cause a reduction to any future enjoyment.

I tossed and turned over selling the CBR1000R. I had a Triumph cruiser for about 3 months as a second bike. Then about 5 months with both the CBR and Kawasaki 636. The CBR would sit idle for weeks. Then I'd get the CBR out and wonder what I was doing not riding it.

[mstriumph]

..................... I've been riding bikes for 1 year now, and every time I throw my leg over 2 wheels, I get the same buzz I got when I was 6 years old and Santa introduced me to 2 wheels.

In short, I like bikes.

careful fella - you may now be finally getting it ........
money is nice but true wealth can't be measured in money

Isn't that what all poor people say?

ey Shaun, all the best for the IOM mate....always good to see kiwis can fly. What specs are you allowed (same as WSB ??) ciao4now, kiwi.:2thumbsup

[Skyryder]

Wealth can only by you things. Nice things but still only things. The question Finn is why youre drinking alone??

Skyryder

[Finn]

Skyryder

Thank you Dr Phil. In all my years of generating wealth, never before has someone managed to put this to me in such a clear and precise way. I now see the light and will change my evil ways.

I wasn't drinking alone on Sunday. I was with my capitalist friends changing the world. Boy have we got a plan for you.

[doc]

Actually, I have ADHD with a pinch of Autism. Bipolar is a gay bear that likes pussy.

[Mental Trousers]

Will I end up rich with lots of girlfriends as a result of your plan?

[Lou Girardin]

The only problem with bikes, is that they only impress bikers.
Not the rest of the great unwashed. (Unless it's a Harley, that is)

[Finn]

Thank you Lou. Someone gets it. If I was a pretentious prick I wouldn't own a Street Magic or any motorbike for that matter.

He hasn't . The secretary's pissed off with you. Seems last time you bribed him with the promise of a root if he put you through. Now hes reporting you for false advertising.

[The_Dover]

that's abuse. somebody infract ixion for being a cunt.

...... erm - wrong demograph :cool:

[meaning "how would i know?"]


.... and if you are going to be surly, Finn, i shan't bother being nice to you again :oi-grr:

[meaning "it was a sort of COMPLIMENT damnit"!!]

[Finn]

...... erm - wrong demograph :cool:

[meaning "it was a sort of COMPLIMENT damnit"!!]

RULE #1 - It pays not to be cryptic with me. After all I am a male.

Besides, I wasn't suggesting for a moment that "you" were poor and even if I was, being poor doesn't necessarily refer to a lack of money. For example, mstriumph awoke one morning in Western Australia and realised the emptiness in her stomach was not a hunger for food, but a much deeper hunger that only true love can afflict. Yes, leaving Finn behind in NZ left mstriumph feeling very poorly. :(

RULE #2 - Don't take me seriously unless of course I'm being serious.:cool:

[The_Dover]

get a fuckin room you two.

I'm poor. Send me money.

[SPman]

get a fuckin room you two.

I'm poor. Send me money.
Just an endless supply of bikes , should do.......

I tossed and turned over selling the CBR1000R.

The thought got you that excited, eh? Next time however, could you try turning THEN tossing? None of us really want to see that shit. :whistle:

[MD]

green rep for the funny. Next you will say the word gay has some queer sexual reference these days. I felt gay today so I jumped on top of my steed and took it for a ride up through the tight twisty bits and I came down the back side. Bet you can't make anything rude out of that simple statement.

ps- I tossed , then turned over so the missus would roll into the wet spot.

[Juan]

Well Mr Finn, I hope to be racing an MV at the Isle of man next year, so you may just have to buy that airplane and come watch

Give us a shout..... will be pitting for Barry Wood again, hopefully he will keep it rubber side down next year....

Would be good to see and hear an MV on the track again, Tom Montano rode well one one in 05...

Have a good summer ya buggers....:(

Not to mention being extremely inconvenient for the deathee...!:baby:
