I feel validated...

Went to a fellow KB'ers place (BlueThunder, the KB'er/Ulysses guy with the fat ass C90 Boulevard) to see his sons new toy, a shiny FXR150.

turned up as said young fella (the son, not BlueThunder!) was pootling up and down the road, and as I was about to de-gear, got offered a spin.

I was amazed at how comfortable it was, and how well it handled, though the power was... well, lacking a little, but still a bloody awesome learners toy!

After I was done, I pointed to Daisy, and told Luke to give Daisy a spin down the road and back.

He leapt on, and after a minute, gave up trying to figure out where the starter button was, so I showed him how to kick start... muhahaha...

He pootled off gingerly down the road, went round a roundabout, and disappeared. He was gone a couple of minutes, and when he cam back... oh what a precious moment...

First words were "I take back everything I have ever said about 2 strokes"

I feel validated... :D

If only others could experience the true power of the most obnoxious, noisy and downright rude of all bikes... what a better place it would be!

Sorry, having a proud owner moment here, I'll go get another beer and be over it shortly... :drinkup:

[Lucy]

I didn't know Daisy was a two stroke. She is much more quiet and demure than Chickadees one in that case! Or am I having a blonde moment and he was comparing HIS two stroke to Daisy? Hmm. I think I need more bike experience than just K'road shops. I also need beer.

Im amazzzzzzzzed a young fulla road a bike with a name like Daisy....

[Ixion]

RZ250. Quiet!? Demure!? :rofl:

What ever have you DONE to the poor two smoker if someone thinks it's quiet and demure?

[Donor]

The only time I think of Daisy as quiet and demure, are right after I have turned off the ignition, and tucked her up under her blanket in the garage for the night!

1) Young fulla?? I think I like you enough to buy you a beer.

2) Daisy - name give to the bike by previous owners wife. Previous owners wife was the person who suggested he GIVE Daisy to me... not sell, GIVE. Caveat - keep the name, so I have. :done:

[kneescraper]

Hahahahahah Respect mate...can't complain when a bike is given to you, even if it is called Daisy.

When things go wrong, the name does vary a little... but as it's a family show, I'll leave it to your imagination...

The difference is that Chickadee revs the shit out of her 2 smoker - Daisy just gets the odd poke from time to time :Pokey:

Likewise LilSel - young Luke passed his test, and flew through his scratch and win yesterday, so we have another rider on the roads, on his sex-ay FXR1fiddy.

[Blue Thunder]

Donor, the young'un in question is still waffling on about being allowed to take Daisy for a squirt, it certainly broadened his thinking about the different type of infernal combustion engines that power our chosen steads. Having taken the wee beast for a squirt myself I too am somewhat impressed by the power of the package. It did take me back to my early riding when I to rode a Two Smoker.

Update: the boy much to the dismay of The Minister of War (AKA the wife) has now completed the beginings of a bike carreer by obtaining his Learners licence(sighs proudly):2thumbsup . Thanks to Riderskills for the instruction in basic handling, which has set him up as safe rider now just some practice and lots of road time to gain the confidence to keep him upright and the MOW off the valium!:wacko:
He has now signed on with KB and is looking forward to joining in with the 250 club on some organised newbie runs.

Looks like the old fella will be tagging along to keep an eye on the prodigal son.

Personally, I think everyone should ride a 2 stroke at least once... if only to piss the general population off with the gorgeous emanations from the rear...

Already threatened to drag him along, kicking and screaming if necessary...

Just make sure you give us an hours head start, so's the C90 doesn't have those damnable over heating issues again... I mean, I figure an hours head start should only require 3rd gear and 20 minutes for you to re-join us anyway...
