I'm with you, but I couldn't bear the thought of all that ash going into my combustion chambers (plus have you ever tried balancing carbs on a CBX?). Instead, she's getting buried with me. You think I'm kidding, I can send you a copy of my will. Some other bastard will get to ride my girlfriend, but no other bastard is getting to ride my bike...

I know you're not kidding Mike.

(Actually, my last post sounded like some sort of lover's pact - please tell me it didn't).

I haven't got more than 2000 k's out of a rear since I've owned her. Shall I send photos? Who the hell gets 4000 k's out of a 190 on the rear of a GSXR1000?

Someone with smooth throttle control? I know I can chop a rear in 2000k's if I want, but of course it's all relative isnt it!

I didn't interpret it that way, but now you mention it...

Is that sort of similar to self control. I mean, hey, I have lots of self control, but my right hand has a mind of it's own. I was going to get it amputated, it gets me in sorts of trouble, but if I followed that rule I wouldn't have a dick either...

probably wouldn't have been a bad idea.

It seems MBB is back in fine form again and up to his usual askance replies from left field!

I loled at your mention of scoot being buried with you ... top marks for that!

Does a CBX count as an honourary Hornetto?

If its got two wheels, a motor and you can ride it - of course! The hornet swarm is but an excuse for two wheeled souls to get together. Variety is the spice of life innit?

And its got C and B ... so gotta be good!
