So just on new year, my boss announced he was giving me a company vehicle (up till this point I was using the zx7r for everything). Horribly practical, and I can’t enjoy myself on my 7r :crybaby: Obviously its not gonna split as well (job involves going from client to client sorting out their issues, around the city every day) and I think my boss is sorta glad I can’t split like I used to :whistle:
I suppose its good in some ways tho, the mileage on the 7r was skyrocketing, and with the company vehicle, everything is paid for, which is really sweet I guess. It’s also really nice around town, whereas the 7’s carbs were a bit of a bitch at times.
Couple of pictures below of it… isn’t my boss awful? I’ll let you know when I hand in my resignation in disgust, so you can apply for this tewwible job (don’t hold your breath) :lol:
Have since fitted the top box, for carrying stuff…

Like I said - having previously ridden your company vehicle - don't let the plush suspension, heated grips and relaxed seating position put you to sleep.:zzzz:
Your boss is indeed an evil man. Give him a punch in the stomach for me when you see him next:dodge: - This company vehicle ploy is nothing more than his ruthless plan to make you a Honda rider - note all his recent past bikes and current cage....:shutup:
...Oh yeah..... what's this I hear about a beautiful 7R that needs some riding as it's owner is cheating on it with a naked commuter...........:shit: ... I think you better let me have the zixxer :yes:

pay no attention to him.. My birthday card ( a bike one ) says " A motorbike doesn't get jealous if you throw your leg over another motorbike " and also that " A motorbike will wait quietly outside the pub while you have a good time with your mates " :p have fun

this job keeps getting worse and worse eh? can't have my little handsies getting cold in winter, now can we? :dodge:

He's my boss!! You punch him, and I'll watch the reaction :corn: That hairnet is a work bike, and I have no intentions of setting the suspension up for my weight. Waaaay too much encouragement. Come play time, its not the country setup like the 7 in any way, and the 7 is heaps more fun - in the country. Around town, I have no comment :whistle: however, I did reduce the boss's chicken strips, with town riding...
I think you better let me have the zixxer :yes:
I don't know if you could handle such a beast... but you can buy it off me... it will be up for sale very shortly (once I get my lazy arse into gear)

Be grateful that he hasn't got a sense of humour and bought you a scooter.

Oh that's just terrible! Report your employer at once to amnesty international, the red cross, the war damages tribunal and the international courts.
I so wish I could justify a company vehicle like that!!!!! But I do claim mileage from my business when I use my bike (the odd time). How in blazes do you get a sweet ride like that past the i.r.d? If I were you I'd immediately go out and purchase a dozen of the finest and park them on your bosses desk for being such a good basket.

It can be ridden comfortably at 60kmph in 6th gear all day long.

Wow Gremlin......... you are one lucky dude........
You have a very nice boss indeed, to make sure that you are sticking to two wheels day and night 24/7 and 365 days a year.
I guess he couldnt find a car big enough to accomadate your wee size.
So now do you ride the company wheels, to and from home to work every day...... or is the company wheels left at work and you have to ride your own wheels in?

Alan - That bike is I step closer to being a nana :baby: and 2 steps from a Harley! :dodge:
In two months you'll dump the idea of getting a 10 and start entertaining the idea of sitting in a car with the window down watching the fluffy dice swaying to and fro. :p
Congrats man - nice gig.

Sorry, My dodgy spelling. I meant how did you convince the inland revenue dept that the CB900 was a company vehicle. I can claim mileage on my bike when I use it in my business but they had a fit when I tried to register it as a company vehicle and claim on it.

cb900 for all company uses (and the photo shoot trip to maraetai ;)) and its parked at my house at night. Jobs can run late into the night, or start early in the morning, so I'm not always in the office at regular times.
Motoxxx, yep, aftermarket handlebars on it, super wide, and really made it feel like a motard. I had ideas of backing it into each corner I could find, then contemplated the possibility of binning a company bike, and thought better... :nono:
Insanity... I'm the employee... it matters not to me :lol:
I had to ride the 7r today (I know... its a hard life, but someone has to live it), as its wof had expired, so during my rounds in the city I went to get a wof... well... shite... there is a big difference between the 2 bikes, and it took me a while to come to grips with the 7. Nothing can beat that cb900 for around town, so easy, loads of torque etc.
No doubt as to which is better in the country tho. 7r alllllll the waaaay :love:

I think that was more reality of lack of talent kicking in there than common sense :p
