    Arrow Sovereign Topic

    It seems to me after observing this forum for a couple of weeks now,
    that the majority of regular posters fall into 3 categories.

    1) Overly Humorous
    2) Overly Informative
    3) Mechanically way too Adept

    Which leaves the rest of us wistfully isolated and feeling undervalued.
    So here it is. The first Sovereign topic for the Everyday Lout.

    Soverign Rules:
    1) No Informative stuff. If anybody could learn anything from anything you wanna say, forget it.
    2) No Honda riders (sorry Dangerous....)
    3) No sound mechanical advice - unsound stuff is good as long as it makes the bike go faster / louder
    4) No putting anybody down man.... especially me.
    5) No funny shite. Nothing that would induce the slightest smirk, let alone the sphincter prolapsing pant soiling stuff. None. Uh uh.
    6) No pronunciation, and punctuation and no Latin....

    Sweet? Recommended post topics are pittosporums, gingerbread, and paslode gas powered nail guns.
    Something for everybody there....newbies... get in while ya can...

    yeah... i know... i'm a cock....

    p.s Break the rules and you "Get it from Gretchen (attached)"
    p.p.s jees i'm bored...

    Yeah, I possibly broke Rule 2 (GIVE IT TO ME, GRETCHEN!!BEAT ME! WHIP ME! F... oh, sorry... ) but not really, as today I'm a Peugeot Pilot, rather than a Honda rider.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    No slim, it don't, but seeing ya from Hammytown i'll put Gretchen on hold.

    Dunno why everybody hassles it. They made that TV program where the TVNZ crew had to drive an hour south to film drunken w**nkers out on the town... what the heck for? Ain't there no drunken revellers in queen st on the weekend?

    Yup... fond memories... had my first learner driver pull out in fronta me on Te Rapa straight b4 it had that lovely round about. Managed to jump from the bike, clear the car and fly about 100 metres b4 landing on a traffic island and wondering why i couldn't "unfold" my body from the foetal(?) position.

    At least a realyl nice lady on a harley offered to come pick up what was left of the fzr400 and drop it home for me.... and the oxygen in the ambulance was TOP STUFF!

    Dunno why everybody hassles it.
    It's actually quite a nice place in some ways. Has fanatastic gardens, lovely walks along the riverbanks, and it's quite pretty. I lived there for yonks (that's like 17 years) and eventually worked out what was wrong widdit (apart from the weather). People used to say "it's central to everywhere", and to us, it was, with rellies in Hunua, Rotorua, Tokoroa and Tauranga. But (BUT!) it's like the hallway of your house - that's central to everywhere too, but you wouldn't want to spend all your time there, as nothing's happening.
    I think it's typical of a service centre type town; Perth is just the same (only more biggerer and hotterer).
    So, Mr Manuboy - what's that SV like then? A guy here had a loaner one while he's waiting for his SV650 to arrive, and offered me a ride, but I didn't take him up on it, and now he's got a SV650S loaner, which doesn't particualrly interest me (already test-ridden one of those).
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.

    Yes, there's nothing actually unpleasant about it, and it's close to plenty of lovely riding roads and good hunting and tramping areas. I'd happily live there if it was doable work-wise, I'm sure.

    Well.. to be honest, i LOVE it. Then again, after 10 years in the wilderness, i'd love ANYTHING. I always wanted a Ducati, but eventually they convinced me if i wasn't a total wrench monkey i'd struggle to afford upkeep. The SV was as near as i could get without paying for a VTR. It handles better than anything i ever rode (incuding FZR400 ... b4 the accident), but the best, and i mean BEST bit is that you can pitch it over, line up the exit and then stomp out in ANY gear. Lazy i know, but its awesome to be able to get the gear "wrong" but not really worry too much about it. Can't wait for my first decent adventure - i've always wanted to ride that coastal road from Hurunui's up to Blenheim. Envy everybody who has! yep....lovin the beast...

    Dangerous told me there's a rally to Glenorchy as well... that sounds top... Gretchen will be pleased....

    Me too.... when i get sick of the Nor'westers here... must still be some cheap land round the back of Nike / Ngharuwahia somewhere? The one downside of Canterbury? Apart from the awesome ride to Akaroa, it's a LONG ride to the nearest twisties.. unless anybody has some secret roads??? hint..hint.... :disapint:
