I posted my report on the Blueant Interphone in Jonnyflash's thread, but this is a bit off-topic, so put it here.
We spent the weekend up North, going to Whangarei Friday eve to stay with friends and do some cruising. John and Shaz, long-time friends arrived Fri. aft. from the Waikato on their freshened up Bandit 1200S and as soon as I finished work we got away.
Jill and I were keen to try out the Interphones having been disappointed when we went to Pauanui without them working and after adjusting the volume to max we had a great time chatting away on the trip.
Stopped in Wfd for dinner at Caltex and I topped up with petrol. John took the lead and as we started up the Brynderwyns, we found a VW V6 4WD wagon on our tail, obviously impatient to pass! I let him go on the top passing lane and he shot off ahead at high speed!
Down the other side, it was about 7:30pm by now and Jill, after a period of silence, said she felt a cold breeze up under her chin despite the light neck-warmer. I suggested she drop her head down a bit. "What do you mean?" she asked. "Tilt your head down slightly, drop your chin." I said. "What will that do?" she asked. "It will stop the wind blowing up under the helmet", I said.:pinch:
There was a short pause... "But I still want to look around!" she said. "Okay", I said, figuring she'll just have to put up with it. (Did I mention she's blonde...?):msn-wink:
She was quiet for a few minutes, then, "I think I need one of those 'Full frontal' thingies!"
I nearly fell off the bike!!!!:eek:
When I regained some composure, I asked, "Do you mean a Balaclava, dear?"
"Yes, that's it, one of those!" :doh:
Of course, when we arrived at our friends' in Whangarei and were discussing the ride around the Waipoua Forest loop the next day, I said to the others, "Before we leave in the morning we have to stop in town and buy Jill a full frontal!" (Your imagination can take over from here...:rolleyes:)
Duly next morning we stopped in at Maunders in Whangarei as they were opening and admired the bikes, (and had a coffee, those guys are very friendly and obviously keen bikers. They knew Daryl as he has a C90T).
Once they had set up, John approached the young guy behind the counter, and pointing at Jill, said, "She needs a "Full frontal!" :devil2:I wished I'd had a video camera running! The poor guys face ran the whole gammut of reactions, from, "Did I hear that?" to bewilderment, to amusement, to mouth moving but no sound coming out, to just stunned silence! He looked at Jill, back at John, back to Jill, by this time everyone had cracked up!:killingme
Unfortunately they had run out of Balaclava's...

Me thinks your wife and I would get on really well...:yes: :laugh:
I am known for saying stuff like that, and yes, 007XY is always looking forward to the next little freudian slip of my tongue...:innocent: :shifty:
The worse thing is, half of the time, I don't actually know I said something weird until I see the look on people's face...Like that time when a group of us were talking about paranormal capabilities, and I got really animated about ESPN...cos everyone knows that ESP is actually closely related to a TV channel!:o :p

Quite likely! She's always coming out with something weird and wonderful! She talks in her sleep, too! Hilarious! I can have fun conversing with her when she's asleep, too!:whistle:

I hear you...i do that with hubby. Never have I shared a bed with someone that I could actually carry a full on conversation with while they're asleep :shit: He is so very clear in his speech, it's incredible...gave me a bloody fright the first time though! :laugh:

When I came to NZ, the first place I stayed at was the "Pickled parrot" backpaker, where this actual parrot had the nasty (or wonderful) habit of destroying any pack of smokes he could land his claws on...
Gorgeous place, would love to live up there again! :yes: :niceone:

Am I to understand that you have a device which allows your wife to talk to you while you are riding?
For humanitys sake man, why?
Is nothing sacred anymore? :weep:

Well, she's a riot at times as the above shows, and it beats having her thump me in the ribs and back and gesture wildly when she wants me to either go faster and overtake or stop scraping the boards...:dodge:
Mind you, she still thumps me anyway...:bash:

I want one of those awesome communication devices!!!
Indy's always saying stuff that I can't hear... then i go "WHAAAAT???" and he repeats it but I still can't hear... and then he gets angry at ME coz his bike makes a big noise...
having those would make life so much easier on the bike!

:facepalm: She's still a blonde! As she was getting ready for work this morning, I asked her if she'd like a light above her mirror to see herself better.
She replied, as women tend to after a "certain age", that she uses the bathroom mirror if necessary, but reckoned a light would only show up her wrinkles and blemishes of old age anyway.
I told her she was gorgeous, of course but she retorted, "Yeah, but you wear glasses!" Now, she left herself wide open, didn't she..?
I simply replied, "Awww... even without my glasses you're still beautiful!" :love:
:lol::lol::lol:

Did you give her a frontal or not?

The C50T is not like other cruiser's. It's the nearest bike I've ridden that feels like my old B31 BSA, but with power, brakes and handling, if you know what I mean. It's the best bike I've ever owned or ridden if you can only have one bike.
I've surprised mates on their GSX1400's and Bandit's and blown away others on their Harley's with twice the engine of the C50T. :yes:
I unfortunately have been banned from riding again as a result of my broken back, and am really gutted to have to sell a bike I planned on keeping forever! :bye:
I guess the best bit is I'm alive and can help the Missus with her full frontal's anytime...:facepalm:

Not really that problem mate, it's just that my back and the prognosis for the future is rather delicate and the risk of re-injury putting me in a wheelchair is very real. I can't afford to risk it as it'll be too easy to stuff me up permanently. I've had to sell our car that we bought new 12 years ago as the seating is not suitable for my back now, and we're looking for a suitable vehicle in conjunction with ACC.
ROFL.....Hope she doesnt read these forums then huh!
LOL!!! Nope! Although I do tell her most of the stuff we get up to here. Forunately she's got a good sense ogf humour!

I had a B31 - I'm not sure I'd even look at at C50T with that kind of recommendation ...

Ha ha, perhaps it wasn't the best recommendation...:innocent: At least the riding position reminded me of the Beeza...
