Why own a bike far beyond your abilities?

[Motu]

I'm a big guy so I brought a big bike, and I liked the colour.

I'm a little guy,so I bought a big bike....got a mustache too cause it gives me the look of authority....got the missus to sew some red stripes down the sides of my jeans too.I need all the help I can get.

OK so explain to this foreigner what is a Domokun??

[SPORK]

Domokun = Proper Noun. Domokun is a Japanese plush doll and anime thingy that is too cool for school. Just google image search him up

It's that blue thingie in my avatar.
2001 VFR800.

While I don't believe in names, for some reason all my bikes have taken on their own persona when Ive been on a forum for long, apart from the VF500.
The VFR750 was variously SluttyFartBlast, FartySlutFeast, FartySlutBeast, etc.; the VTR1000 was FahrtSturm, and now the VFR800 is the LuxoSport (but only in my profile thingo - it doesn't quite feel right, but I don't have a better monicker yet...)

Clearly we are going to have to offer some help with a suitable name.

LuxoSport. Kind of hints at Laxative. Laxative for the brain perhaps? LaxoBrain? Not sure where I'm going here.....
SluttyFartBlast + FahrtSturm + LuxoSport =......
SluttyLaxoLuxo?
LaxoFahrtFeast?
BeastyLaxyFahrt?
FarhtyLaxoSturm?
SportyFahrtLux?

Sheesh! You sure love your VF/R's! It looks very nice, onya!

Thanx. Yes, I do love Vs (three V4s and a V2), but also like triples, so I considered a Triumph ST.

Thanx for the suggestions. I think...
Two Wheels once said that 'VFR' stood for "Very Fine Roadbike", but that's a bit lame.

It really howls when on the gas (hence the "Howling Banshee"), but yesterday I (unkindly) noted that when cruising the engine sounded like a cakemixer...

I dunno... maybe it doesn't have enough character to have a real name. Perhaps I should ride it for a week sans spud and see how the character develops :sly:

I found myself in this position earlier than expected. So I sat down with myself and we discussed. We came to the conclusion me + R6 = .
Im presently purchasing Fz6 which will parked in the garage for a short time until Im confident to hop on. As I have said before I loved the idea of a very fast lean mean machine, but as someone else stated. "Look at the guy with all the leathers and rep helmet and knee sliders, and some grandma has just past him on a wheel chair." The Fz6 six I can sit back on and cruise and noone will blink.
Then when I want to give it some stick, well hehehehe. Butthe answer for me is Im well aware of my ability and the style in which I ride and I decided against a R6 at THIS point in time. Maybe in a few years I will have a FZ6 for those slower cruiser days and a R6 for the more faster days. Theres no rush I have plenty of time.

My gsx1100g was in the shop for servicing and they loaned me a gn250, still had a blast on it.
I missed the torque of my g monster but the Kawarau gorge was just as much fun.

[scumdog]

Why, you ask? Why?!?

Because I can. (Actually, I have a vague suspicion that's what I said last time I replied to this....)

OK.
Try this then:
Because my wife made me buy it.

Do I use all the abilities of my PC? - No.
All of its software's features? - No.
Do I drive the car flat out like a moonshiner running from the Feds? - No.
Do I eat all the food in the fridge everytime I'm hungry? - No.
Do I utilise all of my considerable intellect every time I get sucked into answering inane questions like this? :spudwhat:

Answer to last question: probably and then some, who REALLY answered for you??
