Hell yeah buddy! im the happiest i think ive been scince the day b4 i binned the ZXR @ puke... Up till 4am on the piss here with a few mates around, woke em up @ 7:30am and kicked em out by 9am, wokrred on RVF in that time a little, went to dads mates place for some bike stuff... and man can he talk, but its all honest/perfect advice! i idle this dude! he rode my VFR as he used to love selling them and says its just perfect... anyways he gave me some AWESOME pointers on cornering with that 16" front wheel.. and believe it or not... im even loving riding the bike more! and i was in full leathers as i am sitting here still in them, boots, gloves, helmet, the works! fucknig enjoyed it even with a backpack ull of oil container and other numerous things... and fuckit! i say this day is a milestone for KK! i have changed right here on this day... i will still look for some cheap options/do alot of things myself and learn, but no more blindly stupid things.. im just loving riding this VFR too damn much to hurt it/myself to be seperated.

such a positive attatude for the day.. nobody but NOBODY better kick me back down. man o man, i just wanna type here how much fun im having on this new bike but i just can not damn well explain it! so much of my life already wasted not riding such a great bike... can 1 bike really change 1 man so much? can it really make the immature progress to the mature? can it honestly alter a mind to progress from insanity to reasonable thinking?...

fuck knows, fuck cares. but im taking my beast out for another ride! laters fullahs! hope ou all too have a good day!

Jeez KK, sounds like you've just joined a cult of some kind...

Not been sniffing the fumes again?

Still, I'm glad you and your bike are happy in some kind of awful man/boy/machine type love...takes all kinds after all

Does this mean that like sex, if I choose the right time of the month to ride - I can ride with no gear and without risk of falling off??? And that for 5 days a month my bike is going to be a bitch?

Or, if you have a little "op" - snip, snip, - know what I mean.....you can ride forever with no protection??????

How fecken MAD was Xaus - you team leader is going for the championship - and you stuff him up the inside - rear wheel off the ground, foot of the peg, front wheel slapping.......no wonder he bloody apologised after the race.'......I didn't mean to....you know'

We live in a world of free choice. Unfortunately many of us have to learn the hard way initially. Agreed that riding without good gear is not wise, but depends on what sort of riding your doing to how much gear you need I believe. If I'm out riding with the lads (or ladesses) and likely to be having some fun, then its the full kit. However if I'm putting about town then I'm in my draggins, dealer jacket, gloves & cat boots. Or at least I was until my TT got nicked. I think its important though to have the freedom of choice. We don't have to like the amount of gear worn, or not worn. But in the end its their choice eh.
