Fuel gauges

[xwhatsit]

Pack of idiots. What's a fuel tap for then? And gear position indicators -- what are your ears for? Thighs and arse cheeks. Hands. Hell, you don't even need a tacho unless you're riding an inline four (and everybody should know what redline sounds like anyway, just like you should know what 55kph should sound like, and 109kph). Can't you people count?

Going to buy a clock for my bike from the $2 shop. Had one on nealy every bike I have had. they just stick on and if they get pulled off who cares. I have allways liked them, Great to know if you have time for a quick latte stop on the way to work or if you are running late

Sigh. I like my bike. It doesn't have a clock. Or warning ding dongs (keep it clean). Or a mobile telephone. Or air conditioning. Although, it would be nice to have air conditioning. And windows to let the breeze in. And a roof. And more comy seats, shaped like chairs instead of saddles. Big lazy armchairs. And a radio. So I could listen to talkback and wonder how society survives with such a poor gene pool. And more wheels, so I wouldn't have to put my feet down.

If your auntie had balls, she'd be your uncle.

I'm on the side of the right and the good here - I like my bike without the bells and whistles. I check the gas and watch the mileage. I know what gear I'm in due to urgency of the frenetic thrashing betwixt my legs, and I know if I have to go down more gears because if I don't, the yoke doesn't magicially lift as I rotate the rotary propulsion modulated on the right grip.

I like my fuel gauge.
It tells me that half a tank is sufficient to get to the northern parts of Whangarei at a decent pace...
Also, the clock.
Gear indicator???
I'd rather have a 7th gear please!

So, I guess you will not be getting a leadwing then???

Was at the local BMW dealer the other day, getting a new clutch switch for the G/S cause it got broke last time the bike was in there.
Some guy pulls in on the latest BMW R1200 starship enterprise thing, stops the bike, hits a switch on the bars and gets lifted up and back by his servo/hydraulically driven centrestand.

Couldn't believe it! I was embarassed to be riding the same brand of motosickle.
