The ultimate loaner.......

[aff-man]

Well as some of you know i have had a few issues with gearbox and on the rally a sprung a leak (only leaks at high speeds so probably just a worn gasket) But i go into the friendly guys at mt eden with a forelorn look on my face and ask if i can pleeeeeeaaaase have a loaner to get to work etc....

Right off the bat mike says okey dokey just check with ricky how long it's gonna be.. sweet as looks like a couple days to assess the bike so what can i take.


Well at first it looks like a cbx400 good enough bike and will get me to work. Uhoo chris has already lent it out bugger. So mike starts to have a mingle about the yard i think the scared look on my face when he suggested a dirtbike put him off that idea. Then came the mighty cb750.... Here i am thinking well not a sportsbike but certainly a powertrain to get me from a to b. But he didn't have a key or something about the ignition..... So that was it he made a decsion ..........................................

PGO PM-X 110 scooter




It was honestly the most frustrating ride home. think you can make a gap but it takes about a minute for the power to wind on . Also almost killed my dad cause he was laughing sooooo hard when i came home. That being said at least i have something to ride.

Cheers mike......................... just watch out for those laxitives in your coffee

Better than the bright red 50 (it actually struggled to 50kmph) I was stuck on while I was bikeless for best part of two months

Oh well get the cbr fixed up good and you will be ready for some anal punishing... I mean, punishing road... yes indeed....

Luckily when my GN250 had an electric fault, I was saved from the scooters. Due to the fact that Colemans -> Manukau is not exactly a scooter trip. Unless you want it to take an hour or two.

So what will you be wearing tomorrow to go to work.... whilst on this scooter?


(When I had to leave my bike there one night I got a loaner.... and it was another Virago.... )

[Madguitarist!]

But think of the savings in gas monies!!!
And parking is absolutely no worries coz you could just carry it along with ya if you can't find a lot!!

Early last year I had to take the Drake in to get his feathers unruffled. Well they gave me scooter to take home. So I says OK no problem. Well I'm riding down Colombo St and have to stop at some lights and caught sight of myself in the reflection of a shop window. So here I was all togged up and sitting on this pimple of a scooter. Shit did I look silly. Well the lights change to green and I take off and two harley riders come along side of me. No one says a thing but I can tell that one of them is about to take the piss out of me. So quick as a flash I says "Why don't ya get a real bike." He guns it foward and cuts me off. Not dangerous like but just giving me the message. They just have no sense of humour.

Been looking for that bike for some time.
