    ..and lockwire. You need to use plenty of lockwire...

    My bike is one of the shittiest around. No matter how I ride I'm riding it well beyond it's supposed capacity

    I like to think I'm fairly good, the damage has been from being unfortunate, not for me being a stupid rider

    You are absolutely right MotoHurl.....i have taken a few jibes but i have the shoulders to carry such ribbing...i can go out now and purchase any bike i want to but im happy with what i have (most days) and who knows, i might just go get the bike i really want and still ride the same way i do now....

    Hmmm interesting subject. I have been ribbed a lot (not in a nice way either) about my choice of bike. It doesn't bother me in the slightest that a few opinionated and negative people don't have it in themselves to be pleased for me and / or share in my joy.

    I have a nice bike, but realistically I will never ride it to its capacity. So why did I buy it?

    I bought it because I absolutely love it, the colour, the look, the sound, the speed – because it puts a huge grin on my face every time I go out and I come back having learnt a little more about what it can do (and more importantly what I can do), and last but definitely not least – because I can.

    and / or

    Well said that MotoGirl!
    Maha man spent a ludicrous amout of money buying my bike too! (i am poor) I cant ride for nuts either (not insinuating that you cant of course....lol), who the hell cares!

    For me it is about the being out there, doing it thing. Dont take shit mate, laugh at the mockers......god knows I will have to when I turn up to any kind of ride on my trusty steed!

    They are just jealous is all, if not that then envious and pulling your leg in their own hamfisted way!

    Stuff them, come up here, we can go for a ride out and the others can leave us for dust!!! That'll learn them!

    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Do you really have to be able to ride like Rossi to actually deserve to ride the bigger bikes? At what point does your skill coincide with the choice of bike?

    I think every bike I won't be riding it to it's fullest, but that's cause I'll upgrade once I've mastered the previous bike (hypocritical to my last remark but that was taking the piss).

    She looks beauuuuuuuutiful! Should be a quick sale surely!!! Dissing that would be mean and spiteful!

    Want to come riding with us?

    PS: did I miss something and someone dissed your ride, (as opposed to pimping it of course) ?

    Or is the jealousy different when one is jealous of skill and not the amount of debt/money the other has?

    On the odd occasion I've been on both sides of the coin
    I'm not sure what you mean (I am often confused by your posts) but I am definitely jealous of those who ride way better than me on their "piece of shit" or on a 250 for instance, but then I'm not sure really if jealous is the right word, probably more admiration and they inspire me to get better. (?)

    Nice lines, smooth as. Speed isn't everything.
    In my humble opinion you are hugely improved since we last rode together. I am the one that rides like a Nana (oh and I am one now, 9lb baby girl last Friday) .. so I am allowed to.
    Thanks Nana, and congrats!!!

    I still feel like a noob at times though, or is it just blond dwarfism???
