Blue Smoke, lots of it

[jrandom]

That was abuse? Bah, I can never be perfect, can I? I apologise, but I think it's time for some Johnsons Baby Shampoo. No more tears, you know.

Don't be all touchy, it's just a bedding-in process. Fine line, etc. You'll get the hang of it. It pays not to piss people off; KB also functions as a lively meatspace community that goes for rides and gets together at pubs, etc. You never know when you're insulting someone that you might really prefer to be friendly with...

By the way, that 'No more tears' tagline on the Johnsons baby shampoo is bollocks. My toddlers scream bloody murder as soon as it touches their face.

All of this is making me uneasy. I usually like being positive. Does anyone reading this thread find any interest in MOTORCYCLES?

This forum and this thread are specifically about new members joining the site.

Lots 'n' lots of bike talk going on in other threads. Time for you to start contributing to *those*.

Speaking of never being perfect, Hustler is the model name for the T250 range of Suzuki bikes. The TC250 incidentally doesn't have a model name. I'm thankful that my Dad has a whole folder of old motorcycle brochures from which I have gained useless knowledge from.
.

True - the first Hustler was the T20 which I lusted after when I was about your age.My TC250-II brochure has "Hustler" on it,(as well a the price - $849.) but that was a model line range that covered all models.
I reckon they were a great little bike - still wouldnt mind trying one again.
Why graft R5 cylinders onto a T250? - then I suppose, again, why not!

Besides, nothing's changed here. I'm still the unknowing newbie. I'm in the process of trying to write a review on the T250 that makes sense. It's a bit of a problem when father has two, one with R5 cylinders grafted onto it.

Yep... Lotsa forums about motorcycles... However, newbie hello threads are normally about anything but!!
Also, get out on some rides... It is a great way to meet people and get to know who is going to take you seriously when you post crap... :P That and it'd be great to see more unusual bikes out, as opposed to the standard VFR/ZXR/SV/TL/GSXR boring stuff

What happened to the club250 rides?

I haven't heard from Darren or James in ages - did they drop off the edge of the world.

Sounds to me like the club250 rides would be a perfect way for you to meet the KB's Stinky.

Are TSS still doing any rides?

[Stinkwheeler]

Well that uneasy feeling last night certainly wasn't the result of feeling guilty. I'm far too shallow for that.

After I logged off I went downstairs to the bathroom and proceeded to lose my dinner. Since then I've been feeling crap. I plan to spend the rest of the day being antisocial in my room with my Gamecube. Metroid Prime will fix it all.....

TSS still do rides. I think they're on every first Sunday of every month. I was invited along to one last month but ended up waking up about an hour after they had left. They didn't call to remind me anyway (as you can see I can't be buggered to use quoting and I'm ignoring everyone else at the moment).

Incidentally the next ride, on the first Sunday of August, is on my birthday.

No worries, man, you'll still have four years to figure out a new rhyming signature.

Funnily enough, I worked out once that my FXR has a better power-to-weight ratio than a Fat Boy. Until I sit on it.

ROTFLMFAO

So does that mean you are a Fat Boy?

Stinky-quote:"You certainly pulled that one out of your ass. Where did you get my knowledge of Harleys from? I know NOTHING about Harleys, but I'm glad you got some sort of enjoyment out of posting that. I'd imagine the Harley FXR and the Suzuki of the same name have about the same go.

Ah now I get it. Of course a Harley is a vintage Japanese bike.

What the hell is trolling? I'm getting the feeling that some people get some weird sort of enjoyment out of it. What kind of interesting medication are you on? I'm on some pretty interesting medication myself. NURSE!!!!!!!!"

WOOHOO! Good reponse Stinky, you're getting the hang of this site

Tell me about the Suzuki FXR, I own a Suzuki but not one of them, (it's an odd name for a Suzuki.)

Notice how Japs seem to use and/or recycle names from othe rbrands of the past - Sceptre, Cresta, Mistral etc

[MadDuck]

Well done Mr Stink for you have a very commanding respect and understanding of the English language for one so young.

I trust your parents paid dearly to send you to a school which teaches you the articulate grammer you seem to have produced on the message boards. I am guessing we will see seventh form english A+. Either that or you been BS us as to your age

I have reservations about that myself, for a 15 year old you're too smart for THIS site

[Stinkwheeler]

I AM 15. Before now I've only been posting in the weekends or in the evening. I should be at school but because of Tuesday nights antics I'm at home. Whoever invented Metamucil is a genius.

Hell no. Are you familiar with the Lower Hutt suburb of NaeNae? I go to college there (if you know what I mean). It's not all good that I have excellent spelling. When I eventually miss a spelling mistake in my posts you lot are going to go nuts. (*cough* "grammer")

Ah well, I suppose I can only prove my age if I go to a TSS or club250 ride.

Lots 'n' lots of bike talk going on in other threads. Time for you to start contributing to *those*.

I could tell I was going to get a boot up the ass for that. I have posted on the religious rants thread (where everyone ignored me to my knowledge) and the thread about the NOS kitted scooter (which I havn't checked back at yet). But that's true, I need to get rid of my L plate status in more ways than one.

Tell me about the Suzuki FXR, I own a Suzuki but not one of them, (it's an odd name for a Suzuki.)

You'll have to ask jrandom about the Suzuki FXR150. I originally confused it with the FX125. Do a model search on the bikepoint site and you'll find what the FX125 is. By the way, thanks for the comment on my post about japanese hogs. But I'll certainly be more cautious around other posters I don't know.

Attached is the picture I FINALLY found of my TV200, taken at my friend's house. You'll note how clean it is and the yellow plastic thing hanging off the rear mudguard. It's too big to put in my profile and I can't be buggered finding a way to reduce its size.

Might be so Stink, but hell you sure brought out from the woodwork them wot fink dat dae know how to spick england good, huh?
Damn funny thread to follow this one, enjoying it.

[Ghost Lemur]

Resized your pic for you stink so you can use it as your avatar.

[riffer]

Damn. That is one tidy bike. I would have been so jealous of you when I was 15. All I had back then was a Morrison Monarch and a skateboard. And a minibike my brother and I built.

You are one lucky fella. Hope to see you on a ride soon.
