That's the thing Sidewinder. Being a good road rider isn't about getting your knee down or losing your chicken strips or being the fastest over a particular bit of road...

...riding on the road is all about getting your bike, body, and hopefully your licence home in one piece so you can do it all again the next day and the next.

Everything else is bullshit.

But saying that, theres no point if ya aint enjoying it - and we all have different levels of what it takes for us to enjoy something.

Its mainly an age thing.

I agree, except for the age thing...

No, it's an attitude thing.

And rear ending parked cars counts as what exactly? Seems you lot have some growing up to do. Sidewinder, given your history, no sympathy from me. But in order to rub salt into the wounds - I'm about to jump on one of my three working bikes and go for a ride with my hottie on the bitch pad.

Life is great.

[madbikeboy]

I got some infraction points for reposting something you said yesterday, hence not being allowed to do it again. I'll bling you when I can again...

If that were the case, wouldn't it be easier to just never take the bike out and then your bike, body and your license will be perfectly safe. And you could do it whenever the hell you wanted!

That's a hell of a way to get your thrills out of having a bike, I envy you like I envy a cheap drunk.

[dipshit]

You cannot get home safely if you don't set out in the first place. It's about getting home safely.

Well I've clocked up 18,000 ks in the last 15 months. So much or for your "I don't ride just to be safe" theory. (enjoyed every moment of it too)

[FruitLooPs]

And on the flipside this very day I got my gsxr running for the first time in a almost exactly a year after my banana rod and undertaking my first engine strip and rebuild. Goes bloody well too :niceone:

[Nagash]

You see, I had assumed that you do a fair bit of a riding.

And that is why it particularly baffled me when you said the most part of riding is being home safe and sound, I mean, sure. It's bloody nice to be home and still in one piece. But I don't think on any occasion i've thought to myself that getting home is what's riding's all about..

The actual ride tends to interest me more.

[Number One]

It's a fucking primo day today! Awesome sunshine little wind and after putting new brake pads in my machine I took a wee whirl around the inlet to test my handiwork.

Days like this rule for bikers :headbang: (well those of us with licenses and working bikes that is) :shutup:

LIFE ROCKS!!!

Sorry was that off topic? Oh well - your bike will be fixed soon enough and you'll be straight back to your shenanigans I am sure.

[Bren]

I know what you are talking bout Sidewinder....my old girl is stuck in the garage waiting first for new front fork seals then for a revin. I took her out on the sly yesterday up to the Otaki Forks, but really need to get suspension sorted out ...life is bliss if you have a working bike...hell if you dont...

[Katman]

Life looks somewhat less cheerful from the inside of a casket though.

(Not that I know from first hand experience - I'm just guessing).

What's a xr6?

[carver]

But in order to rub salt into the wounds - I'm about to jump on one of my three working bikes and go for a ride with my hottie on the bitch pad.

Life is great.


POSER

i have 3 bikes too, big deal!

[Katman]

Another thing to ponder.

How do you want to be remembered?

When someone mentions your name, what if there's a chorus of "Yeah, wasn't he that dumbfuck that................."

???????

Yes it is young Carver and i ride it fast (on the dirt with my full gear of course) even though i will be 50 next year,i am a rebel without a clue :2thumbsup :laugh:

[FJRider]

Of course not... when you ride someone else's bike... you ride it like you stole it...its only Carvers bike...he would do the same for(to) your bike... and probably has...already....

I tend to agree in part Josh....a mate once said on here...
''Its about the journey...oh,and the BULLSHIT chat at the other....not the speed''

I had it printed on a T-Shirt!!!
Thanks Chris...:niceone:

[FJRider]

POSER

i have 3 bikes too, big deal!


But no bitch though ??? the pad a bit empty... ???

[MIXONE]

Hopefully you'll live long enough to learn that any day you wake up is a good day and having a bike to ride just makes it better.

Arriving at my destination is the most important part. It has the highest priority. Having fun along the way is secondary.

In fact thinking about this, I have never really enjoyed going for a ride for no particular reason. (maybe this is why some people feel the need to go riding in a group of friends if just going for a ride??) I usually need a reason to ride. Either going into town for shopping... or off on a photography/camping trip... or off to a rally... or doing some suspension tuning on my bike... I need a reason. (and i am pretty good at dreaming up reasons - especially with photography as a hobby!)

This perhaps gives me an objective to achieve... a goal. My bike isn't just a toy/play thing sitting in the garage like a jet ski or skateboard. It's a lifestyle and a form of transport. A very enjoyable lifestyle and form of transport. :2thumbsup

[carver]

i kinda miss my one, they are a good bike eh!
the DRZ's are just so much better though

sure have!

fuck pillions.
i had sidewinder on the jog last night after about 8 beers

[Coyote]

You get used to not riding after a year of the bus.

Sigh...

[madbikeboy]

pics or im calling your bluff;)

Of the bike or the Hottie? We got Movenpick. Nice day for a ride.

Why does it whine so much? And when kiddie gets annoyed, it red blings me... :baby:

[FJRider]

fuck pillions.



Thats the idea..... you had Sidewinder...??? 8 beers ??? ..........we talking JUGS or 7's

8 beers is almost T total... you're just a pisshead in training... try harder...

[FJRider]

Sigh...

BULLSHIT... Ya never get used to not riding... if ya DO...your not a biker...

[wbks]

Of the bike or the Hottie? What do you think?:cool: Titties over triumphs or otherwise

[Coyote]

BULLSHIT... Ya never get used to not riding... if ya DO...your not a biker...
You're right. I'm in denial.

I get to do a bit of dirt riding sometimes. But it's not enough. And when I do get the chance to ride my VFR between home and the mechanics, my raiding is hardly legal.

[SARGE]

i could be wrong...

Doesnt bother me. Ive still got the RR which i should be fit to ride by wednesday ;)


i think people who hit and run are COWARDS what do you think morcs???

Agreed.

Its funny, all the out-of-towners giving me shit. lol.

[vifferman]

Yeah, it was a beautiful weekend for a ride, n'est ce pas?
I spent Saturday on the deck, regrouting it. Then another beautiful day on SuUnday! Got up at 6, got out and 7, ripped all Saturday's grout out, and redid it. :argh:
"GNAaaarggh!" and all that.

Weekends suck almost as much as being at work.

Would the Chatto Creek 1000 miler next weekend be a good enough reason? :ride: :ride: :ride:
