We need clichés like we need a hole in the head.
Sydney Morning Harold columnist FitzSimonds, in his regular Saturday electronic missive, reports on the 'best uses of a mixed metaphor by a prominent sportsperson'. Run that up the flagpole and see who lets the cat out of the bag.
Said slowly for the old man.... 'BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT MOTORCYCLES'.
I have no interest in cars, or jet skis, or helicopters, or anything else that isn't a motorcycle either. Why you'd expect any support for them here I don't know... it's KiwiBiker, not KiwiMotorisedVehicleOwner. I could give two shits if they use a motorcycle engine, or you sit on them like a horse, or whatever similarities they have to motorcycles; none of those things make them a motorcycle.
I'm sure they're very lovely at all the things they do, but they're not motorcycles, end of.
Why they would want to be motorcyclists in any case I can't fathom... they're clearly their own thing, why not just celebrate that and be done with it?
TOP QUOTE: “The problem with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people’s money.”
A sidecar is a motorcycle with something bolted on the side. Trikes and can-ams are for faggots that want to ride a motorcycle but don't have the balls or talent. All the disadvantages of a motorcycle combined with those of a car, and none of the advantages. A scornful look in my mirror, be it on bike or cage will suffice.
Ok lets do it this way then dipshit, Vicky is 5ft 3, and has little legs, she can only JUST touch the ground on a GN250..... no balls or talent? Simple the Can Am allows her to have a large capacity machine she can tour, cover distances on when riding with large capacity machines....... Oh and I ride/rode it, so I have no fucking talent or balls either! better sell the ZZR1100 and MT-01, to someone WITH balls eh? Oh and I can assure you, I would LOVE to see you say to her face that she has no talent, and Can Am's are for faggots...... I really would!
After 38 years of riding a bike as MAIN TRANSPORT, dipshits still have a talent to amaze me with their crass stupidity.

You're a biker. You do the fuck what you choose. That's it. No math.
"I am a licenced motorcycle instructor, I agree with dangerousbastard, no point in repeating what he said."
"read what Steve says. He's right."
"What Steve said pretty much summed it up."
"I did axactly as you said and it worked...!!"
"Wow, Great advise there DB."
WTB: Hyosung bikes or going or not.
Well, as said previously, very very comfortable to pillion on, and pretty impressive in loose sand (even two up).
A bit hard on gas (as you would expect with all that un streamlined frontal area); the biggest problem for me would be where I woud store another car sized (lets not go there again!) object.
As stated previously, they are not slow, and corner well (but not brilliantly).
I did find it very strange to follow one in a group at first. You have to remember to lean on 2 wheels even when the guy in front doesn't! Got used to that now.
I am not going to trade my ZZR1100 for a Spyder, but whatever spins your wheels Man!!
Spyder good points:
1. you dont have to remember to put the sidestand down
2.you can park it in the disabled spaces and no one will think you are taking the piss
3.you can go to discount tyres and get cheap car tyres for it.
4. you can pretend you are in the movie star wars when riding it.
Spyder not so good points:
1. Its a trike, not a motorbike
2.You look like a knob on one
3.you will always have people pointing at you saying, why?
4.you have to buy 2 front tyres
