Do you or don't you?

Yes, Definitely.

If it was a decent bike - sure. But if it was a heap of shite and the owner was just angling for a ride of mine - nope.

Variety is the spice of life, and I've gladly accepted rides of an R1, Busa, Gixxer 1K K4, 600RR and a Firestorm over the last couple of months. Now I know for a fact I ride the best bike in the world

for me.

Thats about how I see it. Happy to swap rides with any reasonable bike - so long as I feel the other rider is sufficiently capable.

Crashing someone elses bike would suck greatly, as someone found out the other day huh, but if i ever did i'd be paying for it in full and no questions asked, it's not worth ruining a friendship over. I crashed a mates car once being a dickhead, set me back $3500 but we're still best of mates.
I always take a chance to ride a different bike, ah the most memorable would be Velox's Jade

i am pretty picky who i will let ride my bike/s, you can kinda tell riding with someone and their attitude to how they will treat your bike even if they have been riding 250cc and you are offering them a jaunt on a 1000cc.

My first thought would be what a guy, then i would think can i handle it? then i would ignore that question and say yes but would not ride it too hard.
Year right.

A harley? What if someone were to see me? And getting oil out of my designer threads is a real bitch too....

**Smoggie** · 31st October 2005, 08:47

Would be silly not to

**Smoggie** · 31st October 2005, 08:50

Are there actually any Austin Allegro's still on the road? and moving, not abandoned.

**DMNTD:Me** · 31st October 2005, 08:53

Yep but still depends on their "replacing " fund...and mine for that matter.
As mentioned befor I'd hate to total someones $20grander and not be able to replace it

What is the first answer that comes to mind?

Personally I would say "yip"!

I would think 'wow, what a power wank, how the hell could I ever think it was real'????

after all, it is just a bike.
