    1st bike, Suzuki T250, paid two hundred and fiddy for it. Jammed in gear riding home, cost me $400 to get it fixed then the kick starter would not return and I held it in place with a piece of tire tube.

    Swapped the bottom end as it was rooted about a month later and got my own back on it by riding the sucker into Otago Harbour one dark and frosty night.

    Then Yamha XZ400 .........

    Then Honda CBX550F ..........

    Markauckland's Kawasaki GPX250... What a waste of time and money that was...

    Glad to say I've always got what I paid for (so far), you pay $1000 for a car, you get $1000 worth of car (or piece of shit as it is).

    I payed $900 for my car and its perfect. Sure no radio or AC but it gets me places when the bike is broken


    worse bike ive ever bought, zxr250. Everything was bent. Nothing straight. Carbs stuffed. Fairings stuffed. paid 2g more than it was worth (i.e., it was worth 0). Still sold it for only a $500 loss.
    Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot

    Worse bike I ever owned was a cranky bitch called K****. She was expensive and difficult, and always costing money for a new car, a new mountain bike, new curtains, or for her weekly mall rampage.

    She hardly ever got revved up, and when she did, it was hardly worth the bother.

    Why am I calling the bitch a bike? Well, it turned out I wasn't the only one riding her...

    LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

    Am I going to get in trouble for this post???

    Apart from the beauty part, it sounds like you both should have been a match made in heaven.

    I'm intriqued ... tell us more.

    Well I've bought several cars which were crap but I loved them all the same. I ran a '71 mini for years which was so rusty when I bought it that I cut off the entire front and replaced it with a fibreglass clamshell-type replica, which I thought was cool, but which an insurance assessor who saw it in a garage when it was being repaired claimed was the most lethal deathtrap he had ever seen. I was thrown out of the AA with that one, despite spending a fortune on it. Still, put about 90,000ks on it before the subframe was so corrupted a brand new pair of tyres was destroyed in the trip from the fitters to home (about 250ks) . A VW polo (yes - all glamour cars) lasted about 50 miles from when I bought it before the engine blew. See, I was told the temp gauge was broken, but in fact it was disconnected. And the radiator was blocked . So drive drive drive, opps, head gasket goes, then the head melted .

    As for bikes, I've been very lucky.
    My dad bought a moped (but without pedals?) once though brand new for us to both use around London and it beggared belief. It was called a Thomas and how any worker in the world could let that leave the factory - presuming it was actually made in a factory - and sleep at night I don't know . It was outperformed by the 20-yr old 50cc Steyr-Puch moped that my Mum had, and that would seem to be impossible.

    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    A yamaha XJ 900

    Got it new from a shop in the UK for a 50UKP deposit.

    Electrics blew, exhaust fell off, a real lemon. Spent a few hundred fixing it and rode it to death.

    Woke up one morning and it was being loaded into the back of a truck.

    I think they expected mer to pay more than the 50 pounds deposit over the 2 years I had it (they fucked up the paperwork)

    About 2 years after it was taken away I received a letter from the DVLC in Swansea informing me that the bike was being re registered with an owner that wasnt me and, had I sold it.

    I rang them up and told them no and that it had been stolen from my house earlier.

    I sure hope someones day was ruined as that bike came as close to killing me as any bike has

    Fuck that is funny!

    Never had a bad bike (yet)

    Did end up with one cage I should never have touched.

    I didn't want it, it was my wife that bought it.
