I'm Over It

[Big Dave]

Keep thinking about having a radical change in bike. The DR-Z400SM was quite a change from a GSXR750 and the 999 was quite a change from a DR-Z.

Keeps me interested anyway.

Yep - I sold my fully faired sprots tourer and went dual sport nekkid tractor.

I went from 10 demerits left to full complement and enjoy riding mucho, mucho moreo.

I suppose that it's far preferable to have them drowning in rivers and on beaches than in school pools (?). Although I have no idea how many kids drowned in school pools.

Kids drown because they are not supervised, not because they can't swim. NZ's rivers and beaches are dangerous even for good swimmers. I almost drowned as a child (a child who could swim really well, by the way) because my Aunty FELL ASLEEP on the beach. A stranger fished me out of the water where I was floating face-down.

She didn't say it but another problem is the lack of "sports" oriented teachers (read males) in the primary school system.

There definitely is a lack of male teachers in our primary schools, but I wouldn't say the female teachers are non-sporty.

In answer to Busa Pete's original question, we have a boat sitting in our garage - it's yellow and sounds suspiciously like a v-twin Hubby sold his boat and bought the Duc because he didn't have the time necessary for the boat. A fishing trip is a whole-day exercise, by the time you've prepped everything, caught your fish, gutted, filleted them, cleaned the boat, done the engine maintenance, yada yada yada. A ride, on the other hand can be one hour if that's all you have time for.

Plus the need to have a mate with you every time to cover the safety angle, and launch/retrieve.
That's the reason I sold my boat and got into biking.

i have have that idea for some time the rides i went on with the vet sealed it for me just have to find one that fits the bill .my fzr 1000 is happy at legal speads plus it has a rev indicator that you can hear throught the helmet from yoshimira if the note changes im going to fast. only problem is it is 22 years old and not the freshest of suspention and other parts its ok for a comuter the reason i got it a year ago .as for the the hard out fang i have my buckets to take care of that you dont need to go 200km plus to get the same fealing of over camiting to the corner and hope you can pull it of with you knee down the pegs scraping and the rear drifting .

If it works for you (or anyone for that matter) - great. It just became too impractical for me. I miss my boat tho. Can I come out on yours?

Lucky for you she doesn't get seasick then! I love boating and fishing, and am actually quite a good fisherman (if I do say so myself, toot toot), but I suffer a bit from seasickness.

[westie]

When we going out for a ski!!!????

[Qkchk:Me]

Wendy, Pete.

Perhaps you wanna come out with me and Steve fishing in our boat to see if it's gonna suit you first...?

Personally, I just keep changing me mind as to about what bike I want to change the existing one for, as in the kind of riding I feel like at he time. Never really considered dropping bikes all together though. Boats not really an option, I prefer me feet on the ground, as it were!
