A cool bike rider

That's true, that, for work I ride a CT110 with a rubbish bin on the back and kids stare at me ALL the time. The fact that I ride on the footpath might be part of the reason, though, haha.

Even a little 125 needs the opportunity to redeem its soul and achieve spiritual enlightenment.

'sides EJK, you know this is the biker gods way of testing you, to make you learn the essence of bikerdom!

exactly... i did four years on my full on my 250 before i could upgrade to the bike i wanted... just keep riding and you will get the bike you want eventually, after paying your dues

EJK, You have a bike

Thats all thats matter.
Everyone that has a bike wishes they had a better bike or another bike. I wish I had a new bike I never had one and I dont think I ever will.
Look at it this way............. If you had the bike of your dreams then you have no more dreams.

Whats the point in that.
Be happy with what you have. Remember there and many guys and girls that wish they had a bike full stop.
BE PROUD of what you have.

no, it's probably because he sounds like a lawnmower charging down the footpath looking to plough down innocents.

So I just pulled up for some BK after a blat up north and this 2-3 year old comes quickly waddling at me. The dad says with a smile "He likes your motorbike"

Then another young guy in line starts asking me about my bike as he's just starting out and then me and his dad start sharing bike knowledge.
Then the guy serving me a burger and fries tells me of his intention of selling his car and getting a bike, probably a Ninja 250. So I have a chat with him for a while as well.

Biking seems to be a pretty "In" thing at the moment.
