Yes, I was the chap with the red Yamaha parked out front, wearing a smelly black Orina jacket and wobbling around the shop on a GT Avalanche loudly opining on the flaws of all the mountain bikes that were too expensive for me.

And yes, Mrs Random's present is a push bicycle. That was what the MTB thread was for. It wasn't a 'surprise' present, just an 'oh, look, let's spend $1,200 on something that YOU want, m'dear' kinda present.

(Thus the Fiendish Random Man sets up for the Z1000 coming down the driveway next January...)

A quick cheeky wave and it's off I am a-filtering.

Arrived home in Te Atatu at 5:55, gave her a call on her mobile...

She's only halfway across the harbour bridge.

so your saying you like your motorcycle because it gets there before your wife???
