any one rides my bike
as long as they by what they brake

If they have to buy what they brake how are they supposed to stop?
Masterful sales strategy if you work at a bike shop, unless you work in a major urban area?

My good mates who have a licience are allways welcome to ride it, well that was when I had the 400. Now I dunno if I'll let anyone else ride the new bike when it arrives

Im getting a new bike, just so that I can teach the missus

its not that I dont let people ride my bike, its more that people never want to.
People I know, know how passionate I am about my bikes. Even my best friends know that if they put a scratch on my bike our friendship will be tested. My sister rode my ninja once up the road and back because she had never ridden a sportsbike before and wanted to see what it felt like. I dont think she got over 30k/hour and I was watching closely. WOF guys have never asked to ride my bike so its never been an issue. I would let them take it for a ride but they better have a one way flight out of NZ if they bring it back damaged. Actually, I think it is just safer for all if they just didn't bring it back at all if they damaged it.

At the testing station... They ask me to do all the stuff, like hop on it and ride, then brake....etc etc
In fact sometimes depending on who you get, they just ask me to try to roll the bike forward with my brakes on.
I even hold the bike over for them while they check the wheels, forks and shocks etc etc
They have never ever gotten on my bike.

Oh and NO-ONE else rides my bike.
Under my insurance policy, I am the only rider.
Which keeps the cost down heaps.

Reads like a carbon copy of a post I was about to write up.

Actually, Death. Its a shame we don't have our turbo FXDX Harley anymore. We could have swapped turbos for a bit of a laugh.

From the sound of it, the Kwaka would scare the shit out of me!

Anyone who has not ridden a (proper) turbo (cx500s don't count) should do so pronto! Pro-cycles in Napier are selling our old Harley if anyone reckons they're tough enuff!

Gonna go have a gander at that tomorow
