Anal retentives

[dpex]

What's the world coming to?

I have a new cage which, I have to say, for about the first time in my life, I got a bargain. An MX5 which flew through a warrant, needed $500 in redecorating, and now looks mint with its brand new hood (value $1500). I paid $1500. So I figure I got bought a new hood with the car thrown in, plus a bit for paint.

Anyway....I've been tooling around in my cage...in between getting some bike-time in...and have been watching our fellow travelers on two wheels.

On a trip from West Auckland to Lake Pupuke (to try out my all-new flaot-ring) I came down the Nor-Western. Two bikers ahead, on Harleys, doing just under the speed limit.

Onto the bridge-system. Two guys on super-sports....perfectly able to lane-split, but choosing to pootle behind a cage at 80.

Off the bridge and onto the Northern. Four weekend warriors, spaced just so, pootling along at 99Kph...Maybe 101. But being very regular.

Rear Viz mirror picks up a light. Way back. Sure enough, and real man is doing his thing. Blasting along at ???kph, lane-weaving, lane-splitting. Nice bike. GXSR. He was all leathered up and rocking.

I moved over to give him room. He waved a quick thanks, blasted past the four I was following, all done up in their head-to-toe synthetics.

I expected their gonads to at least pick up the pace. Nup. Pootle along they did.

It was like, 'Hi ho, hi ho, it's on a trip we go. Wese such good guys, we never speed, Hi ho, Hi ho.'

But Jesus. These law-abiding, anal retentive types are going to start giving us bikers a good name.

This sort of shit has got to stop. FM, next we'll be having concerned-mothers-of-five loading their pre-schoolers onto bikes...on account of 'some' idiot bikers are giving the rest of us a good name.

Bloody world's going mad with conformance. Mumble.

Yeah im more concerned with you buying an MX5, I wouldn't have admitted that publicly...........at any price :lol:

[AllanB]

MX5 - is that a hairdressers car? :yes:

We are damned if we do damned if we don't it appears.

Some days it's just nice to smell the roses and cruise along.

Or possibly they were on 98 demerit points.......

I'd rather come along a pack of HD's cruising at 100 than the A-holes who fat past, lane splitting into head on traffic with open pipes roaring, then slow down to 70 at the next corner causing you to brake or run up their arse. :angry2:

[McJim]

I feel like such a poof. Money was tight so I sold the BA Falcon and with the proceeds bought her a Subaru Outback and a Mitsubishi Legnum 25 ST-R for myself.

I wish I was hard enough to admit I bought an MX-5 :rofl:

[nallac]

Yeah im more concerned with you buying an MX5, I wouldn't have admitted that publicly...........at any price :lol:

+1 to that.....your not a hairdresser are ya?????

[Blackshear]

MX-5 with a j-ported 13B turbo...
That or a Caterham :yes:

[Trudes]

I bet it's red too.:eek5:

[Gubb]

Fucking cagers.

[PrincessBandit]

......the mystery/danger of bikes is being lost by all this sensible safeness.....:no:

[Mom]

Red is the only colour they should come in apparently...

[dpex]

Yeah im more concerned with you buying an MX5, I wouldn't have admitted that publicly...........at any price :lol:

Yeah, but see, I don't have the lack-of-ego problems which so many of my fellow men have.

An MX5 is a great little cage. And this one is tighter than a vestal virgin.

You should all be considering the whimps I saw, not the MX.

We're bikers! Tough, Raw. Fuck the law!

Don't you see? When the compliant get a foothold then our world goes to hell in a hand-basket. Precedents will be set....'Yes, Yaronour. I know other new-age bikers don't break the law, but for fuck's sakes, yaronhour, they's just busting up the last remaining frontier of freedom.'

Bloody anal retentives. Burn them, I say.!!!!

[MadDuck]

We're bikers! Tough, Raw. Fuck the law!

Amen brother ....we are all those things and we dont have tupperware parties.

[nallac]

Whats an mx-5?

a girls car..or a honda riders car:bleh:

[Hadley]

There was one of those "worlds top 20" shows on discovery last year, who rated the MX-5 best all round car...
But they also rated the Honda C50 cub as the worlds best motorbike...

[Boob Johnson]

I post in jest my friend, while I have not owned one I have driven a great many & more to the point have had the choice of many different cars to drive & chosen the MX5 over them (twas a car dealer many moons ago). They are in fact a fantastic handling car & the best selling sports car of all time, for good reason. My favourite moment in an MX5 (many a good time had in them) was ironically enough with two spunky hairdressers, me driving & the two girls in the passenger seat. Night time, mid summer with the top down on Queen street (Auckland) at a set of lights, a fella in the tin top beside us looks over & mouths "BASTARD" at me, I just laughed my head off & drove off, good times, good times :clap:

[Headbanger]

One hell of a gay car.

Still, if thats your thing, who am I to judge?

[Pedrostt500]

I find I can get five MX5's to the gallon, they tend to be a bit charred looking afterwards.

[Timber020]

The MX5 is less a hairdressers car than the harleys a hairdressers bike.

They handle great, are a turbo and cage short of something that can do very well in a targa, are mechanically bombproof but a total hoot to drive. Id get one if they carried more gear. (cant even fit a 066 stihl in the boot!) Closest thing to a bike on 2 wheels for reasonable money.

I disagree - my bike has 2 wheels and is closer to being a bike than a Mazda :Pokey: :rofl:

Right...Right.... Time for another alcopop??

I'm with you. The ridiculous comments have to be from either a drunk OR a pimply faced teenager. I mean really - who is he trying to impress?

[Pixie]

It's not lack of ego - it's sexual insecurity.
They have to drive some aussie piece of crap incase their mates laugh at them and discover they are uncertain if they are fags or not.
Of course their mates suffer from the same condition.
-it keeps the aussie crap car industry semi-solvent.

[puddy]

Yeah, but see, I don't have the lack-of-ego problems which so many of my fellow men have.


GAY BUT PROUD! YOU GO GIRL!:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Er um I always thought MX5s were invented so elephants could go roller skating. But hey who an I to talk ?

[tri boy]

dpex, you admit to owning, (and publicly driving) a MX-5, AND use Anal as the first word in your thread title.......
I mean, really, that's fabulous darling.

[Patch]

These law-abiding, anal retentive types are going to start giving us bikers a good name.
Probably a good chance the motorcyclists were not KBer's - might explain a few things you witnessed in ya girl's car.

[JacksColdSweat]

I've owned an MX5 too - still none of you know me so who cares

I rate them very highly - only sold it because you can't fit a baby seat in them

Awesome machine. Sound like a British drop top but don't stop everytime it looks like rain. Never known a car that could turn in like that - just a hoot to drive - absolute go kart and so flat in the corners

Will totally own one again when the time is right

People that hate on them clearly don't know the first thing about what they're missing and obviously need to be reassured by the approval of others for their actions - sad really - you're missing one of the best cars ever made.

So good that as they changed shape they insisted the car should have no more and no less grip than the original... that's how perfect they were engineered.

[imne1]

the "original" first model of MX5 was entirely based on the Lotus Elan S1 (1963 -1970)
so much so that I know of an owner of one who was able to restore his using MX5 parts with a little bit of modification.

There, you see! It is possible to find bikers with good taste and a brain.

You're right, mate. This is the third I've owned. Totally bomb-proof and a 'little' zippy.

But jeez, it's a bit hard to get my head-space out of Team Zimmerframe and into the MX when it comes to passing. I have to be so much more concerned with time-on-distance during overtaking.

But, ho hum. I can't carry my fishing gear, my waders, and my all-new floater on the Yammi. Damn it!!!!!

I'm working hard at not going into a long text about how some fucking dicks ripped the side out of my MX today. They managed to do it with a train!

Mumble.

[dpex]

Who are you calling an elephant, ya skinny bitch?

Now, ya see, this is why people may be questioning your sexuality.
Leave it in the toilet bowl like every one else:dodge:

Double entendre Philistine! From my floater, there's only one of us today who gets to sup on fine fat trout. Yum.

Give Dpex a break - at least he can't drop an MX5.....

wanna bet :devil2:

[Blackbird]

a girls car..or a honda riders car:bleh:

This Honda rider enjoys driving his wife's MX5. :laugh::laugh:

It's a proper MazdaSpeed-tuned model with all sorts of trick bits and it flies! However, living in Coromandel, it's the handling which really shines. You can have enormous fun AND stay fairly legal.

I'm happy to drive it solo or with my wife in it, but less so with a mate as passenger:msn-wink:

Geez Mully. That cuts me to the bone.

[malfunconz]

harley with a top

[dpex]

Frosty! You bastard!

I told you about the train ripping into my car, in confidence. And now your one-upping Mully's assertion by 'suggesting' I 'can' drop my car.

That's cruel man. I just had the damned thing painted before Mr Engine Driver Nerd ran it over!

That's more cruel than Mully's assertion. I'm gonna need meds to get over this.

[scumdog]

The black 5-litre V8 one from Christchurch is the only one I'd have at the moment..:headbang:

You could get yourself into serious trouble with a car like that, Scum. But woo, what a way to go. :--)))) That's be like Base-jumping with just the primary chute.

[Solly]

Anyway....I've been tooling around in my cage...

You've been WHAT!!??:laugh::laugh::laugh:

[Madness]

There's a really nice white small block V8 MX5 up here in Orchland. Not sure of the donk but it sounded smooth as, might be a Jappa quad-cam.

I saw it while driving my standard MX5 in British Racing Green with tan leather.

The 1uzfe conversion is becoming popular...
not that I would know....nor would I like to express that mx5s may be gutless but, like the aw11, are incredible fun to drive. I don't know that....please pick my soap up:cool:

[Fudmucker]

MX5 - is that a hairdressers car?

I know a straight hairdresser that DOES drive an MX5. :whocares:
He gets his leg over with tons of bored hardbody babes whose boyfriends/husbands are out riding HD's or superbikes instead of riding THEM! :rockon:
He doesn't seem to get much call from babes whose men ride GS's - they seem to be out riding pillion with their guys...:done:

[Swoop]

I have a new cage which, I have to say, for about the first time in my life, I got a bargain. An MX5...
Dare I ask what brand of moisturiser you use?:clap:

Here's the company that does the V8 conversions:http://www.monstermiata.com/. After looking at them, tissues will be involved, but not for removing moisturiser.

Errrrrrrrr hang on a second, there are three words in the same sentance?
HONDA, MX-5 and TASTE???? :puke:
Spot the odd word out!
