Take a deep breath, climb on your bike & give it a big handful of throttle as you ride away

Classic, I'm about to start teaching my wife to ride. Can't wait till she's on the road. Her boss who's a real condiscending a-hole rides a 125 scooter. Imagine how funny it'll be when she can turn up at work on a real bike.

She's going to inherit the vtz of doom which for a 2 fiddy is no slouch. Even cooler shes already got a dream bike to aim for, she's started drooling over thou ninja's (Oh well its not a Honda but if we liked the same brand it would be boring).

Gotta admit, I'm a Honda devotee (My last 4 bikes and 13 of the 20 I've ever owned)but those new Kwakas are sexy bikes.

She's a keeper indeed.

Yeah... but I don't like green.... Kawasakis in blue look good to me, but that is like saying the best colour for a Honda is Yellow....
Sorry, I'm a fan for traditional manufacturers colours.... And NO Kawasakis do not look good in red either.
Only Hondas should be red.... Oh and a smattering of Italian machinery.

The Previous bike to this one was a Suzuki, but before that it was only ever Hondas for me (about 5 in total)..... I got another one, as I should have never bought a 98 Katana even though it was 3 years old at the time...

You obviously haven't made a good enough impression to be remembered... Perhaps vomiting on the ottoman rug or taking a dump in the punchbowl would do the trick?

An example of this was a great-aunt who, despite meeting me about 15 times in the last 3 years, still asks (and you have to imagine the posh accent) "Oh, have we meet?". She asks this each time. So a week before xmas at a "function" I replied, no maam, I'm the hired help. To which she replied, "fetch me a sherry then".

Same old biddy at the xmas "function" being held at some posh house with a big assed pool - again, posh accent - "Oh, have we met?". To which I replied, "no Maam, I'm the pool guy, I came to clean your pool but asked to stay, which I though was really kind of you".

So, old biddy Aunt complains to MadBikeBabe's mommy about my "horrid lying", for which I get a lecture. I mean, honestly, does blue blood mean you can't have a sense of fucking humour?

"No Ma'am, we haven't. But I think you have met my brother. We're quite different, he's rather wild and more than a little unstable. Rides one of those dreadful motorcycles, and, just between you and I, you probably would be best not to be around him too much. He's just sex mad "

Next time

"No Sexy, we haven't . But I'm sure we will, I like older women. You have met my brother though, looks just like me but as boring as hell. Say,why don't we slip off somewhere we can be alone, eh, I know chicks like you, I'll bet you like a bit of rough, eh"

She'll never come near you again.

I am so SICK of hearing that from work people whom have never sat on a bike let alone come to realise why people come to be bike fanatics. First day back in the office this morning and it was the ' did you know you have 18 times more risk of dying in a bike accident than in a car etc?'. I thought about it and considering I bus to work every day my reply was this:

'Since I travel 180 times more in cars, taxis, buses and on donkeys than on my bike, I therefore actually have ten times more chances dying off my bike than on it.'

It has taken six months but that shut the office cows up big time. They had no answer to that one. Statistics are a waste of time. Some of us have ridden for 40+ years so how do we equate to the formula then? And I have lost people I grew up with as kids due to silly mistakes and simple bad luck since I started riding all those years ago. I have often thought that riders need certain skills and luck to gain the necessary experience to give yourself that extra survival ability, or edge, that extra splitsecond in making the right choice and not freezing as you realise you have taken the corner too fast or whatever.

The development of good brakes and handling over the decades has not really contributed to this 'survival' factor. Its so so easy to made one mistake, hence what they use to call the 'forgivest' ability of the older models. It used to be included in bike tests once.

Only soldiers and people dumb enough volunteer... I like sky diving, but it's not all that thrilling for me. I get more of a buzz riding on the track. The freefall is kind of neat, but you don't get the sensation of speed - and once the chute opens, it's just a gentle drift to the ground...

hahaha... nice. well i enjoyed the freefall! ANd cannot compare it to the buzz of riding on the track as haven't done that, so i will have to take your word for that one!

I always try to do something to mark my birthday, since every year since being at uni it is in exams, so this year it came 6 months late, but i marked it by jumping out of a plane! sue me!

Could be a bit awkward if she says "That sounds devine, shall we go?"

Bleh! That's what CRW is for - fills in the bit between opening and impact
