Why'd I get the viffer? Guy at the place I was working (wot sells Honda parts) was selling it for a good price and since I was a new immigrant I was bikeless.It's OK but I'd still swap it for a TDM

The Loose Goose
Easy - I can reach the ground with both feet and not just on tippy-toes! It's nice and light, it looks cool and it handles well. Lovely gear box and it sounds more like a bike than the BMW CS did - that was like a sewing machine to listen to! Insurance is about half the cost of the Beemer (should be a third, god knows it only cost a third...) and I'd imagine the parts would be cheaper too.
I had an RG150 that I loved and the Goose is sort of like a grown-up version - it has electric start rather than kick start, and just a bit more civilised power. I'm not likely to lose my licence (or my life) on the bike and it's a hell of a lot of fun to ride. I have to hide the keys to keep my husband from stealing it though! Out of all the bikes I've owned, it's the only one he's enjoyed riding so much.
Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!

- No class 6 license hence can't ride a bigger bike
- It is fun to ride
- It looks cool
- Can't use a cage for commuting due to budget constraints

Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true ... they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so all are easier to fool." -- Wizard's First Rule
Average trowel is average!
Rg150.
It was dirt cheap.
It's fun to ride.
Good for commuting.

I gather it has been written off? Bummer, mate. Look forward to finding out what you get as a replacement - and learning why you chose it in this thread.
Condolences.

Hey Felcher,
Get a GSXR1000K6. You'll love it. You really will.

It blew me away on the test ride. Wasn't even thinking about buying it till I rode it.
'06 GSX-R750, gotta love it.

Yeah, a cheque book party. Us bikeless bastards need all the support we can muster. Deutchmarks or dollars, American Express will do nicely, thank you.

Deutschmarks? They use the Euro these days. All the best finding a suitable replacement for the STeed.

Once i'd ridden the KR I was hooked:
Comfortable riding position
Loud and obnoxious - gotta love 2 smoke!
Reliable as hell, 26000 hard ridden k's and no drama...
And it goes pretty fast for what it is.
Its perfect for the windiest roads.
I will never forget the faces on the 2 boy racers I overtook in the manawatu gorge yesterday WITH the g/f on the back, waving at them. Bahahaaaa. I want a big neon sign to flash "You just got overtaken by 150cc's of grunt, HAHA!" every time I overtake some cage twat.

my dad used to own a yamaha trail bike, and he used to give me rides on it when was about 10, i enjoyed watching him do stand up wheelies...but i didnt know i was goin to be so in love with them..later! during my last year at university one of my mates who owned a kawasaki 440z offered to teach me after seeing how enthusiastic i was...an hour later i was riding on my own and a week later he offered me the bike for free as he was getting a company car from his new work!!!.....just my luck!!!!....or not! long story short, one of my uncles had a fatal bike accident so i wasnt allowed a bike at home....so had to give the bike back!
10 years later i bought my first bike in 2005...a kawasaki GPX 205R...got my 'L' and enjoyed every ride i took on it, was a sweet bike...but had to let go few months down as needed cash! but my love for bikes and my belief that i will get what i want brought me across a 1998 ZX6R...yea kawasaki....4 months ago, i got the price right and it was what i wanted to get after a 250 and thats what i got and still have it...my SEXY BEAST! i guess i will always love kawasakis but would love to try some other bikes...specially the R6.
The RICH man is one who has true friends!
