What grinds my gears. Issue 1

**James Deuce** · 10th January 2008, 08:44

If you're a n00b to motorcycling; welcome. If you own a brand spanking red-with-silver-flames GPX250R (never forget the "R"), then well done. Lovely motorcycle.

If you've ridden your new bike to work for the first time and parked in the Jim2 Memorial Bike Park, then may I compliment you on your superb taste.

However next time, don't angle park or I'll be forced to do the old spin the bike on the sidestand trick. That will probably worry you if you see me doing it, but provided I don't throw it on its side, there should be no harm done.

What grinds my gears. Issue 1a

There's a Futong Scooter in the the Jim2 Memorial Park that is going to get removed in the next couple of days if you don't sort it. There's no need to abandon a perfectly adequate mode of urban transport because it has a flat tyre. The air went to the top of that tyre on the 21/12/2007. It's 2008. Come and pick your shit up.

**James Deuce** · 10th January 2008, 08:55

I'm investigating the free scooter option with the Council as we speak.

Ha ha ha Sorry mate - there is ABsolutely no relation between the park that you like to think of as your own.... and the 'Jim2 Memorial Bike Park' ....

**skelstar** · 10th January 2008, 09:41

The Aprilia, as I think you pointed out once Jim2 has a near vertical stand arrangement (unlike the Ducati 'suicide stand'). A great source of concern for me every damn time I park in bike parks, memorialised or otherwise. Sometimes I have to angle park just to get the bike sitting right. Would that grind your gears mister?

Such a big world. So few Futurama fans.

Can you sleep on it, or does it need one of those torture racks (WTF are they called again...? Ah yes - a slut bed) to park it on?
Maybe that's the problem with the maldistribution of air - some fat twunt slept on it.
