    Perfection is not something you should ever attain, but something to always strive for. For if we actually achieve our idea of perfection, is it then any longer perfect?

    If I bin one I bin one...I simply see the positive in that I'll get to have another one soon!!

    I absolutly love my rs250. Iv had afew bikes (not as many as some people on here) but i just love the feeling of riding an italian. There not the most practicle and they need loads of work, but they just have such a character.

    My next bike will be something abit more sensible and suitable for taking a pillion (vfr or something similar), but i will keep my lil rs, just for the odd throw over the tukas and for a thrash for shits and giggles (untill i can afford a duc or mv to replace it anyway).

    I love my Gixxer because she doesn't give me sore wrists or ass,like my last couple of bikes and my darling Sharon actually enjoys the pillion seat so we can cover distances between fills without saddle sorenss demanding we stop every half an hour.
    She's (the Gixxer) an old beast and fairly simple in her ways...

    I love my bike.
    I went from "roarrr! kawasaki! team green!" fanboy, and did a complete 180 to whatever bike I was looking at after test riding my current bike 'just for fun' only to find out that it was the best bike I had ever ridden after numerous test rides of other 'more practical' bikes. Threw me off that's for damn sure..

    ....because it's a Honda!!

    I still love Kawasaki, they're my #1. I'll be a kwaka fanboy for life and maybe when I win lotto I'll have a second bike as a kwaka, but for now.. I just love my bike to bits.

    Hell yes! Adore my bike

    Just been in the shed giving her a bit of slap n tickle.........oil change, new speedo cable, tighten the chain, new front left indicator, bloody magic. Nothing more enjoyable (on a rainy day like today) to tinker around.
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    I used to love my Virago, then I rode something better, now I don't.
    I used to love the Vmax, but it kept breaking so now I don't.


    One day.....

    you're just another lost soul about to be mine again
    see her, you'll never free her
    you must surrender it all
    And give life to me again

    Aye bloody weather. I just spent two and a half hours fitting a screen to my GSX1400 because I couldnay go out.Stood back to admire it and decided it looked shite and took the whole thing off again. She's too pretty for that monstrosity.

    One of my more productive days as it happens.

    I loved my bike, but sadly she passed away a few nights ago. I HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY I CAN REBUILD HER. Just don't have the $$ lol.
    Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot

    Ayup! Coulda done tole ya that before you started.

    The only bling Betty will be getting (apart from a new muffler) (well, and Penske shocks, if that counts as bling) is the removal of the stock mirrors and the installation of a pair of CRG bar-end mirrors. Bewdyful. Realised it was precisely what she needed after spending a day at the track with both mirrors off. It was a huge aesthetic improvement.

    My new mirrors are currently on order and will presumably arrive from the UK sometime shortly before the End of Days, etc.

    It's meant to be a cartoon Grim Reaper, pondering the imponderable. I think that's his scythe.

I just love my bike. Thats it. Everything about it is fantastic. Sure its not the perfect bike in the world, what is? But everytime I ride it, and ride something else, I cant imagine what I would replace it with. So its not like Im not comparing it to other bikes, I most definately am and in real riding terms too, but this is the one. Does anyone else love their bike to ride as much as I do? (I still admire more astetically pleasing bikes than mine, hell I had an Aprillia for looks, not the 14).
    cute post!
