    Who's the guy with the parrot

    pulled up to the side of the road today to have a chat to a mate on a bike...... a couple of bikes drive past, give them the usual nod/wave, then notice the second one has a huge white parrot perched on the steerin head . obviously out enjoying a nice day of riding . is it anyone on here??? cause it was pretty cool. btw bike was prolly an early 90's cbr or something...... dunno.... too busy looking at the parrot.

    my blue mini, pebbles, broke down oneday so i asked a mate if he could give me a lift to work.
    He turned up with his dog on the tank. The dog was a staffie x. She sat on that tank like she was born on it. Front feet on the handle bars...leaning into the corners. Took me down TeNgae rd (s) and all the way past nongataha(s). (Rotorua)

    A parrot on a bike...now thats something you dont see everyday.

    Cat's name was Rastus, what a cool bugger - even had a set of sunglasses to keep the wind out of his eyes!

    The guy's name was Max Corkill. I think, from memory, his missus Gaynor died as well (presumably in the same crash)?

    My cat heads for the bush whenever I start my bike - not much chance of converting her to a biker.

    Girlfriend and some of her friends were very very keen on the idea of strapping my Snoopy stuffed toy to the handlebars of my bike. Probably a good way to pick up girls?
