May I beg a favour of one of you kindly two fiddy owner types?

[jrandom]

Hi, my name is dan, i live in aucks, west ish, and if anyone is kind enough to let me borrow a 250cc rego'd and warranted bike for my full lisence test that i plan to do at westgate I'd be real grateful, y'all....

[007XX]

Sorry for sounding dumb, but being a newbie, it happens:

Where is Niflheim? I'm keen to help, but it'll depend on where you are in NZ.

[Keystone19]

I am, as some of you might be aware, bikeless, and have been for the past couple of years.

I've been stuck on my 6R for the last few years, as well. I never really got around to taking the full Class 6 test, and then I sold my Zeal, and then my gear was burgled from a house I'd sold which was consequently almost empty and not contents-insured... sad story.

Anyway, time to redress the situation. I popped out today and bought a Shoei Raid II and a pair of Sidi Stradas, and now, well... now I need to borrow someone's bike to take my test on, so that I can purchase and insure the bike I want.

Is anyone open to some sort of bribery in exchange for me borrowing their 250 for a day or two?

Pretty please, with a cherry on top?

:cool:

About bloody time...

[Kwaka14]

Ring one of the riding schools, Lee Rusty (Ridesafe I think) runs one and from memory around $60.00 a day will get you a 250cc, likewise most Bike shops will do one, Red Baron have a couple also at 60ish a day I think....

[The Stranger]

If it's anywhere near West Auckland I got one you can borrow for a few days.

Yes.

Now, where are you? :D

[007XX]

If it's anywhere near West Auckland I got one you can borrow for a few days.

Such a generous soul... I'm starting to think you're a nice guy after all!:lol:

[jrandom]

ROFL.

I forgot I still had 'Niflheim' in my profile.

Yes, West Auckland it is.

I have received some... criticism... over the form of my initial post, by the way, and shall now edit it according to suggestion.

[jrandom]

About bloody time...

Yeah.

Gonna kick yo momma's V-twin ass, beyotch.

And you know you'll like it.

[jrandom]

That sounds like the best bet. I didn't know that one could hire 250s. I'd rather do that than run the risk of owing someone the souls of my children after accidentally chucking their baby down Don Buck Road.

[Keystone19]

Yeah.

Gonna kick yo momma's V-twin ass, beyotch.

And you know you'll like it.

See you on the track baby, i ain't got no Vtwin for the road no more...



What worries me is that you probably will kick my ass...

[Hitcher]

So the rumours were true then.

[The Stranger]

Such a generous soul... I'm starting to think you're a nice guy after all!:lol:

Shhh, you'll ruin my reputation.

[jrandom]

What worries me is that you probably will kick my ass...

Don't worry, sunshine, that's just your childhood insecurities talking. You've had way more practice than me over the last couple of years.

Anyway, you know I'd be staying behind you, don't you? I prefer perving at your arse to kicking it.

Yes, I thought you knew that.

[007XX]

That sounds like the best bet. I didn't know that one could hire 250s. I'd rather do that than run the risk of owing someone the souls of my children after accidentally chucking their baby down Don Buck Road.

Fair enough..I just checked your personal profile and so your wheelie photo! :eek: :laugh:
Worried me, maybe!

[jrandom]

So the rumours were true then.

There were rumours?

:innocent:

[007XX]

Shhh, you'll ruin my reputation.

Why, do you still believe that "every girl loves a bad boy" theory?

[FROSTY]

yeodle the sranger--Hes offered his lil bike--its a gsxr thou or summat like that --just pull 3 plug leads out
Pity I aint still got ya old FXR

[jrandom]

Pity I aint still got ya old FXR

Yeah I dunno eh man, after one has raped something as hard as I did that FXR one feels slightly bad about randomly riding it again.

It'd be a bit like getting randy and calling up the ex on Friday night two years after you dumped her.

[riffer]

So...

young Fish.

Does this mean that you'll be back in the fold?

You've obviously been bikeless because you can't handle another meek little 250, and you've been waiting for the full.

Hitcher's bike is getting a bit old.

D'ya think he still remembers how he was going to hand it on to you? Or was that one of the old bikes? It was sooooo long ago I've forgotten.

Anyhoo... good luck with the licence test buddy.

And get a bloody bike once you've got it.

[The Stranger]

Why, do you still believe that "every girl loves a bad boy" theory?

Damn, that's what I am doing wrong. Got to stop being nice.

[ManDownUnder]

Anyway, you know I'd be staying behind you, don't you? I prefer perving at your arse to kicking it.

Yes, I thought you knew that.

Fucken perv... stand aside...

[jrandom]

Yes.

That excuse wore thin for me about four years ago...

I only wanted the ZRX1200R. His subsequent bikes have been a little too large and a little too homosexual for my liking.


good luck with the licence test buddy.

And get a bloody bike once you've got it.

It's all lined up, dude.

The Auckland roads will once again learn to fear my ham-fisted throttle-wringing.

[jrandom]

stand aside...

I dunno, eh, I don't reckon we'd need to be too far away to both watch Jill's arse at the same time.

Unless it's shrunk a lot.

Jesus fuck I'd better start running now...

[ManDownUnder]

I dunno, eh, I don't reckon we'd need to be too far away to both watch Jill's arse at the same time.

SWEET!

You run, Jill chases you and I err... follow her in "support"?

[jrandom]

You run, Jill chases you and I err... follow her in "support"?

Ah, you and your metaphors.

So... I get to be the guy in front?

I'm cool with that.

[ManDownUnder]

Ah, you and your metaphors.

So... I get to be the guy in front?

I'm cool with that.

Sold! All in the name of the motherland of course.

[Keystone19]

You'd both have to catch me first...:bleh:

[vifferman]

It's about time, Mr DanFish, that you got your act together. What happened to spur you onwards and upwards? :confused:

[jrandom]

You'd both have to catch me first...:bleh:

Won't be a problem on my new bike.

You and your chickwheels might just have to find a dark corner to hide in...

[jrandom]

What happened to spur you onwards and upwards? :confused:

I had a dream.

[ManDownUnder]

You'd both have to catch me first...:bleh:

Oh I could go places with that, but out of sheer respect (and a knowledge I don't have a shit show in hell of actually catching you)... I won't.

That Smiley's kinda thought provoking...

[jrandom]

That Smiley's kinda thought provoking...

Yeah.

Except I've already got dibs on the front, dude. No tongue-wiggling for you.

[riffer]

Enough of the bloody innuendo already...

what's the bike?

I'm not bloody guessing again as to what it is.

[James Deuce]

ROFL.

I forgot I still had 'Niflheim' in my profile.

Yes, West Auckland it is.

I have received some... criticism... over the form of my initial post, by the way, and shall now edit it according to suggestion.

You spelled "License" wrong too. Or did you get a 12 year old to type it for you?

It will be good to have you further in the fold.

Ewww.

Bad mental image.

[jrandom]

You spelled "License" wrong too.

When I said I edited it 'according to suggestion', I was being quite literal. I wished to preserve the suggestion's charm and spontaneity.

Keystone19 has immortalised the original in her quote, should you prefer the genuine Fishy flavour.

[raises eyebrows]

[jrandom]

what's the bike?

I'm not bloody guessing again as to what it is.

I'll tell you when I get it. I haven't got it yet. For all I know something will go horribly wrong and I'll have to go buy an SV650, or something.

Shudder.

Don't worry, I won't pander to my attention-seeking instincts by putting up a "Look at me look at me guess what my new bike is" thread. I'll just chuck up some photos when it arrives.

[Hitcher]

There were rumours?

Oh yes. But I am nothing if not discrete...

[Hitcher]

Hitcher's bike is getting a bit old.

D'ya think he still remembers how he was going to hand it on to you?

The "deal" had nothing to do with the age of the bike. Any transaction was to be based on the death of the Hitcher. However a certain fickle person's fancy waned once the ZRX1200R was sold. That's gratitude for you.

[Hitcher]

I had a dream.

Is that the one where it turns out that Libido isn't the capital of Ecuador?

[jrandom]

Oh yes. But I am nothing if not discrete...

If you're 'discrete', then I guess I'm a continuous function.

But I try to be discreet about it.

[Hitcher]

If you're 'discrete', then I guess I'm a continuous function.

That would be concrete.

[ManDownUnder]

Yeah.

Except I've already got dibs on the front, dude. No tongue-wiggling for you.

....it wouldn't be the first time you've indirectly told me to eat shit...


Don't worry, I won't pander to my attention-seeking instincts by putting up a "Look at me look at me guess what my new bike is" thread. I'll just chuck up some photos when it arrives.

Yet more proof - you really don't fit in around here do you. C'mon man - make an effort.

[jrandom]

OK. Yes. Well. Hmm. Ahem.

Firstly, my thanks to a certain KBer and his lovely wife for their kind loan of a bike this week.

...

Secondly, my thanks to the same KBer and his lovely wife for their kind agreement to loan me the bike again next week.

:o

Note to self: check whether one has blown any indicator bulbs before smugly rocking up to licence tests.

Sigh.

Yes, I am a moron.

[vifferman]

So - no licence yet, and no new bike?

Stop keeping us in suspense, Dr Dan!

[jrandom]

So - no licence yet, and no new bike?

Sorry. Yes. Licence on Tuesday. I'm just around the corner from you now, I'll rock up on the new wheels when I have them, OK?

[Hitcher]

Mr Kawasaki still makes a ZRX1200R, although the colour schemes since the A2 model have been a bit, well, green. But not homosexually so.

[jrandom]

Mr Kawasaki still makes a ZRX1200R...

A. A Zed Rex would blow the budget at the moment. I don't have five figures for a bike and don't want to wait until I do.

B. I'm going to be focusing on track days for a while.

Fuck, I'm doing it, aren't I? Being coy. I'm so sorry, guys, there's not much I can do about it at this stage.

[Joni]

Hmm... rather just zip it then and let us know when you have it...

Pics would be good coy boy! :yes:

:spudwave:

[jrandom]

Hmm... rather just zip it then and let us know when you have it...

Will do, dear lady.

[jrandom]

Pics would be good coy boy!

OK, I passed the silly test and picked up the bike. '99 GSX-R750 SRAD. I'll take some photos tomorrow and put them up here for you. I'm not going to wank on with a whole new "look at me I have a new bike, well actually it's 8 years old and all but I just got it so I'M AWESOME PLEASE VALIDATE MY FEELINGS" thread.

Fancy a go? I'll be fanging it down to Chch for a weekend at some point soon, so make sure you guys' booze cupboard is stocked, or at least that your schedule permits a pub crawl.

Congrats on passing but - if that's a hint for a reach around I'm not your man.

Enjoy.

[jrandom]

Enjoy.

You can sort of see me and the bike in one of the photos in the cruiser ride thread, by the way, which is good, because I couldn't be arsed arranging any photos myself today.

And we'll have to hook up for an RF/gixxer swap ride sometime, dude.

[Matt Bleck]

Enjoy Dan, she's an awesome bike to ride if not to look at........

[jrandom]

Enjoy Dan, she's an awesome bike to ride if not to look at........

Yup, I've put 700km on her in the last 24 hours and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.

I felt bad taking her away from Alick, but not that bad.

Nyah ha ha ha ha.

[McJim]

Congrats Fish - O'course I already told you that.

Thanks for the litre of 2T byraway - the frog already drank half of it.

[jrandom]

Thanks for the litre of 2T byraway - the frog already drank half of it.

My pleasure.

Still intent on using the Duc for commuting?

[ManDownUnder]

And we'll have to hook up for an RF/gixxer swap ride sometime, dude.

Can do/will do. Might take a while at my end... the RF's more of a commute for me than a blat bike (i.e. I commute on it rather than do rides per se).

PM me with contact details we'll pick it up from there.

[vifferman]

Fairy Nuff, but you could just wank on about your bike in case anyone else is interested, which I'm sure is the case.

Nup. Maybe if there was a giant hand from the sky, pointing you out?
Time you at least put some photos on your profile or summat...

[Joni]

OK, I passed the silly test and picked up the bike. '99 GSX-R750 SRAD. Congrats hun.... I see the piccies never got here tho :shit:


Time you at least put some photos on your profile or summat...Yup that 150 wheelie shot is sooooo yesterday :bleh:


Fancy a go? I'll be fanging it down to Chch for a weekend at some point soon, so make sure you guys' booze cupboard is stocked, or at least that your schedule permits a pub crawl.It will be good to see you again Dan. Let me know closer to the time and we can make a plan.

:wari:

[jrandom]

Congrats hun.... I see the piccies never got here tho :shit:

Woopsy. I'll get some photos up as soon as there's some fine weather to take them in.

And the bike's all dirty, now, too. I reckon it needs a wash.


Yup that 150 wheelie shot is sooooo yesterday :bleh:

Hope you're not expecting any gixxer wheelies yet, sunshine. I'm back to n00b status for the time being.


It will be good to see you again Dan. Let me know closer to the time and we can make a plan.

Yup, I'll be in touch.
