I used to drift with the NZ silvia club and D1nz.

Talanted guys. Yep, I love cars and bikes. Deal with it.

Nice - I have a similar yarn - but it was on an XS1100 and knob head was in a GTR Torana - 20 years ago. No wheelie at that speed, but a schoolin' none the less.

I spent a lovely afternoon with this beauty

Loved it's guts - and the noise it makes, sigh.....you tend to ride it round in third gear for the noise it makes.

Good show there WT!
I have recently watched Ghost Rider and also Ghost Rider Goes Wild, cool moves from this dude indeed

What's up with the POS crap, thought you would get back into the bike trade here in Aucks?

Nice Moves Jimmy, I can picture the whole thing in such detail.... Having been lucky enough to see it all many times before. Like the time we we're all headed to Cemetary Circuit and that RSV Millie came stonking along from behind. I'm sure he would have shat himself when he looked in his rear mirror to see a very detailed underside view of a Gixxer thou! far that was cool dude!

or was it the front wheel that looked like it was about to take a rest on him!

That fucker was *extremely* lucky not to wear a Gixxer front wheel in the back of his helmet. I mean, honestly, who goes storming past a group of 25 bikes, pulls in in front of the lead rider and hits the picks. What a tool.

Had a gutsfull of selling bikes mate. Strange as it may sound, it all gets a bit monotonous after a while. All you're ever doing is working bikes, you loose the desire to ride on the meagre one day a week ya get off.

**Lou Girardin** · 23rd July 2005, 08:55

Nissan man's going to have to have a nip and tuck on his bits now. He ain't a man no more.

How long until you grow a mullet WT? Might help you move a few POS systems to your clients Joe Dirt style.
You got tuesday off? Come down taupo way.

Bikes is OK - it's some of the people on them that rob the enthusiasm - what they expect from a motorcycle dealership and their perceptions of the value of their motorcycle that can get tiresome.
You also have to deal with a lot of rejection. Yer punter say 'no' much more than yes, most of the time for bullshit reasons - sure there are reasons - but seldom the one they give the sales person.
It's like all gigs - there's yin and yang, pay the ferryman days.

I haven't got sick of the work and play thing yet.
