    A cunning plan which has now backfired. We never needed one when the kids were at home as washing up, along with mowing and other menial tasks was how they earned their pocket money. I should have bought one at exactly the same time the last one left. We're retiring to Coromandel in a couple of years and one is DEFINITELY going in there . My wife will just have to find some other punishment for me.....

    Digging ... digging ....

    After the "Adventure of Mr Revvit-Smalldick" this morning (see http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ad.php?t=17908), I was talking again to our newest employee / HD owner, trying to make amends for my earlier discourteousness.
    I was telling her about Mr Revvit-Smalldick, and said, "Ah - you don't have drag pipes on your Sportster, do you?"
    "I have a set of Screamin' Eagles, actually."


    Uh-oh...
    "Blah blah blah... people who never ride in the rain... blah blah..."
    "I don't ride in the rain, if I can help it."


    So I lent her my copy of "Motorcycling Atals of NZ", pointed out some choice rides, and went back to my desk to hide....
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    So did you make amends by throwing small churches at her?

    (Sorry I watched "Search for the Holy Grail last night)
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    In that case, I would make amends by yelling insults in a very bad French accent, and catapult cows at her.
    Plus our old piano (well, my gran's, actually). But a trebuchet would be better for that. Anyone got one?
    ... and that's what I think.

    Hey Viff, I reckon Manuboy is right on the money - you DO have a crush on her

    I mean, when have you ever given a sh1t about what Harley riders think? Bet you never wave to them on the open road and care even less if they wave to you.

    You're going about it all wrong by coming across as the sensitive caring type. You need to become the indifferent man of mystery that women find so attractive in us Honda riders. You've already shown way too much interest in discussing 'zorst pipes. If she comes to work on it (an unlikely scenario, I'll admit), make sure you park well away to show your distain.

    Purely in the interests of science, can I have her work email addy please? I'd like to conduct an experiment involving her discovery of this thread. I'd imagine that you'll still be able to ride ok as unlike a Harley, your VFR supports a doubled-over body position.

    Trust me on this one... :spudwave:

    Geoff
