    Can a bike's curse be transferred to another?

    I'm missing brake fluid reservoir screws on my Bucket so I nicked them off the VFR. I may even take the master cylinder if I can't get the Bucket's one to work. But I'm worried this will inflict the VFR's unreliability upon the Bucket. Can a curse be transferred like a virus, or will it just stick to the original bike?

    I've already confirmed I'm not the curse as my Chinese engineered minimoto is hella reliable.

    I think transplanting any of the bikes organs - especially ones that have been for the use of Bikerly fluids, leaves any transplantee bike wide open to contamination of said curse(s). Would you accept a kidney from someone with a chronic disease? I wouldnt... and neither will my bike.

    I find it hard enough when we go for oil transfusions... I mean, how do we know where that oil has actually come from - and are the bike surgeons really as competent as we expect them to be? Anyway...

    Your cursed bike needs to be put in a home and be left to die in peace. Its not your fault its cursed - its just life - at least you have the chance to tell it how you feel before it gives up on you for the last time. Whatever you do - dont let its afflictions live on in another.

    The VFR is not cursed , it is accursed. Someone has pointed a boner at it. Are you sure that you were not perving at those magazines you have hidden in the gargre (yes, we know all about those!) while it was watching?

    To remove the curse you must sacrifice to the Biker Gods. 3cc of virgin mouse blood, a neutral unicorn, and a vow of celibacy for at least a year should do it. Oh, and a small cucumber.

    The garage is too cold to have any of that going on there. I'd rather read Kiwi Rider in the sitting room.

    Maybe talks of wanting to upgrade has made the bike sulk?

    I've got the mouse and unicorn, but it's going to be difficult convincing the girlfriend on that one. What's the cucumber for?

    It's for the girlfriend.

    Paved roads are just another example of wasted tax payer dollars.

    A vow of celibacy?? By which you mean no eating of celery (sic) for a year. I could do that standing on my head.
    It’s diametrically opposed to the sanitised existence of the Lemmings around me in the Dilbert Cartoon hell I live in; it’s life at full volume, perfect colour with high resolution and 10,000 watts of amplification.

    $10 says you can't abstain from eating celery standing on your head for a year.
