What's wrong with Hondas?

Why?

Street racing is bad, and I would never recommend it or advocate doing it.

This one time, in Band Camp, I was sitting a set of lights next to a little tosser in a WRX STI RA POS VHS CD STD who happened to have an extremely hot looking girlfriend. So, I leaned across (sitting to the left of said car), and asked her for her phone number (just to pull boy racers chain).

She smiled (in a really nice way) which rarked him up even more.

Light turns green, he rev's the thing until the valves are trying to explode out of the heads, and then dumps the clutch.

Keep in mind, this was a set of lights getting onto a looonggg motorway onramp.

So, I wait a moment, check that I have packed my lunch, inspect my fingernails to ensure no bacteria, and ponder life for a moment, asking where do those odd socks really go.

SOOOOOO, he's about 100 meters ahead by the time I go, and I give it some death, and I rip past DickHead and Hottie at about *75 kph.

Then I slow down (of course), and DickHead trundles past, with hottie giving me the tumbs up and him looking like he's about to throw a tantie.

It gets better.

They get off at Fanshaw, and sitting at the lights, he's busy giving her an earful about smiling at me. So, I knock on her window, and again ask for her phone number (just to wind DickHead up)...

He literally fucking explodes. Most excellent.

Of course not - he had time to take them off, inspect his nails, and carefully replace the gloves.

oh of course, probably could of had a cup of tea too i spose.

but anyway back on topic, i dont see anything wrong with hondas apart from they do everything they are meant too.

My cbr is so easy to ride, compared with my old 99 R1.

One of the noobs at work (yay! I'm not the only biker any more!) just bought a brand new '07 CBR1000RR (RRRR). He had a choice of basically any bike he could find, but despite last having a Daytona 955, he chose the Honda over an R1, because it was "nicer/easier to ride, and $3k cheaper".

Or, in his case, brand new for like $15k. Good reason to not get an '08.

I'm just not fussed on how they look. Kind of snub nosed. CBR1000 that is, not hot girl racer chicks. Who aren't all that hot, who wants to hang with a chick who used to have sex with a stupid pimply faced boy racer...? Shows she had awful taste to begin with...

Yes, exactly right. I mean, how far can a WRX get up a road in a few hours??

My mate had a CX500 - he loved that bike and he is straight (why else would he spend all that money on hookers?).

Male Hookers... QED!

Thoroughly agree! And what would that be saying about you, if she was now going out with you.

Historicaly we can thank Honda for the Kwacka Z1-900 they were working on a 750 DOHC when honda pipped them with the 750-4, so Kwaka 'upgraded' to a dohc 900.
A lot of the 'flack' comes from the old, nicest people ride a Honda advert. Also as an aging/crusty/old fart, in me days of youth Honda's were sensible bikes (read farkin slow) untill the CBX 1000. EG: my RD250 (Yamaha) was only about 3-4 mph slower than a 400-4 honda...... my later Kwak H1a (500-3) annihalated 750-4's.
Honda has always dragged that mythcal chain behind them, they really are just damn well made bikes.

I've found the origin of Hondas being gay on KB!

Honda... What's in a name anyway?

Let's see - Harley Davidson is an anagram for:

vandalise dry ho
horny salad dive
shiny odd larvae
shivery odd anal
overdid shy anal

or the more typical view of harley riders...
vanish or deadly!

I tried poking fun at Honda.. but the name is too boring to anagram,

Dave.
