WHAT THE.....

**dawnrazor** · 21st September 2005, 13:22

I recently had a GSXR1000K5 out for a test ride, in a bloody thunder storm - go figure. Anyways I holed up to wait out the worst of the deluge at a BP station in west Auckland. While resisting the urge for a smoke (one of my brighter ideas), i bided my time sitting on my arse against the bike looking wet and hoping the seams on my jacket and pants held.
Round about this time I noticed the first one, a very pretty lady driver who was more then keen to give me a HUGE smile as she went in to pay for her petrol, well that was nice. Then another lovely all smiles and cheery eyes (i did mention it was absolutely pissing down). Then another one asking me if i could help get her petrol cap off (it took all my self restraint not to come over all carry on, at that one). Then another and then another.
What the .......
Now its either me (unlikely), the bike (hmmm maybe), that westie girls like bikers ('supose) or a n other.
All I can say is, I'll take that sort of attention where ever I can get it, (crap hope its not the bike or i'll have to mug the bank manager) as it made the ride home alot easier for some reason.

Were you still wet when you woke up?

**madboy** · 21st September 2005, 13:32

you might be in luck, your bank manager might be a westie chick

Sweet, its a westie chick thing - god bless them. Would love to trade up (my bike that is), the litre engine really appeals, but I found the bike a little cramped, and my arrse had gone numb after about 100ks, this may well have been because I was desperately aware I was flinging a 22,000 grand bike along the road at legal speeds (ahem) and it wasn't mine. I love my 600, but it sure felt revy afterwards. Must repeat this with my bike and see if i get as much attention.

bollocks. shut yer pie hole.

your just an insecure wee laddie who likes them for the image.

cruisers are uncomfortable and underpowered.

not that Im advocating sportbikes as the sole choice, I dont like sore wrists in traffic any more than the next girl, but face it, a big naked type, say a ZRX1200, kicks the pants right off any cruiser whatsoever in any comfort, power and handling contest.

[edit: honorable exception mention goes to the V-Rod but at that price youd bloody well hope so, wouldnt you]

I must agree with you on this one. Although certain cruisers are much more comfortable than a sportsbike.
