BusaJim name change

[Balrog]

Since buying my 1150 adventure, the poor busa has not had much of a look in.
So after much procrastination and heart ache MagicFairy made me sell it :laugh:

So I've changed my name to Balrog :whocares: which lines up with my ADVRider logon.

Thank you Nasty for doing the honours :niceone:

[Aslan]

stiil the same gutsy rider though! (cheers Jim):soon:

Thank you Nasty for doing the honours :niceone:

I would say anytime .. but really only once ... nice choice though.

[NordieBoy]

:bleh: yeah yeah
I was a serious Busa fan though. When I wrote my 1st one off, I didn't even test ride another bike.
I just went out and bought another one. (a black one, my favourite)
Then when I bought the GS, it took me nearly two years to even consider selling my beloved baby.

Fair call though :)
GSJim was tempting but not selected for that very reason


...so what does the new name mean?

A Balrog is a fictional creature from J. R. R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings.
No meaning intended. :)

so what does the new name mean?

its derived from the phrase "ball rub" - something GS riders are inclined to do as they nervously eye up the next knarly obstacle and wonder if their whale is going to get stuck or not.

Well there's another trade secret out the window.

I just went out and bought another one.BTDT. When I wrote off the first Trophy in 1996, I did test ride other bikes... including a near-new R1100GS, at night, while it was snowing :shutup: albeit briefly. Bought the last new '95 Trophy available.

so what does the new name mean?Is google broken on your computer?? :Pokey:


its derived from the phrase "ball rub"I thought it was something magic fairies did to GS riders after long rides...

Well, whatever you intended, you've named yourself after a fearsome fire demon ... :eek:

That's another with fictional character name then! ;)

Maybe we have continued a trend! :woohoo:

[magicfairy]

Ha Ha.

There's never any action in THAT department after long rides... more like "feed me, wash my clothes, give me some painkillers and tuck me into bed"

You'll have to sneekily slip him a Viagara instead of the painkillers then! :banana:

[Badjelly]

That's two of us with fictional character names then! Maybe we have started a trend!

I think it would be fairer to say you have continued a trend.

[Paladin]

I think it would be fairer to say you have continued a trend.

A very fair point, no disrespect meant! :spanking: (edited the post for ya!)

[Badjelly]

A very fair point, no disrespect meant!

Well, that's alright then (exits stage left, muttering, "Harrumph, youngsters these days, need to be taught to respect for their elders and betters. Why in my day...")

[bart]

Bloody fictional characters. Get a real name.:mad:

:innocent:

[Badjelly]

Bloody fictional characters. Get a real name.

Preferably one that rhymes with an odorous bodily function.
