    What do you do when you can't ride your cruiser?

    i was just sitting here looking at the beast and just wondering if i was doing the right them with the bike , still working on the mods, rain and wind and no time to ride due to work load, but at night i get a bit of life in me and have to think of something to do on the bike, what the hell do other people do, i think i have a problem

    I don't understand. Why can't you ride it? If you have time to do mods, or to clean and polish, then surely you have time to ride it?
    Time to ride

    Not always J. - a pissing down day, 40 minute to start work and I've time to clean/tinker with one of my scoots - or when the Sportys rego was on hold - or when I've finished night-shift and it's not a nice night etc.

    And of course one at times ends up with a bike like the pic of bmz2 situation. (as per XN85)

    Buy a $200 scooter and thrash it around the town, then give it to someone as a christmas present when your big baby is back on the road.

    The local marina might find a use for it...
    If you love it, let it go. If it comes back to you, you've just high-sided!

    Yes, That would explain why you can't ride it. And I can see the cause of the frustration now.
    Time to ride

    And take off very quietly so the scooter's exhaust drowns ours out.

    Mate, I am gonna give you the bash for not turning up to the ride tomorrow anyway!! Blimin' bugger about your wheels being off dude - bad timing! I was looking forward to the two NINES out riding tomorrow.

    (Note to self: bash bmz2 for forgetting to put his wheels back on in time for a cruiser ride)
