    ... costs a shitload of money, zero chance of owning it, you can't ride gravel/dirt roads and straight away blow away some sportsbikes...

    Well, I better not start another thread about her coming back... the crowd might turn violent...

    I got the call today, she was prepared to get back together with me. I needed a lift to collect her, and eobe obliged. I know some people pillion on 250s, but blimey, it can't be much fun. Acceleration was the same as a van... and I was trying But enough of 250s, back to my love

    Setting eyes on her, it took all my self control not to jump up and down and babble like a little kid. Plastic was flashed at the guys, the keys to her heart were handed over. I tried to take it easy, but neither of us really want that. I could feel whole planets colliding and evaporating as we set off together, but despite the long separation, we gelled immediately... Thoughts of the cheating on her, and her being shop-bound were forgotten... we had a lot of time to catch up on.

    We did a couple of errands together... she was happy to be back with me, and kept wanting to show off... so typical.

    She is currently a matter of metres away, having had a hug and kiss goodnight.

    The real bugger is that I'm marshalling this Saturday, so some catch up rides of 1000km+ will have to wait until next weekend perhaps... Still need to source some better rubber for her protection

    So, how long before it goes back to the shop again? Working on your current rate of attritional deviation and madcap tomfoolery shenanigan curve, I reckon by the end of this week ...

    Good to hear that your Katoom o'doom is back in your greasy, grubby mitts again - now have you hooked up all the gear to see if it's all tickety-boo?

    ROFL, you were very high-pitched and bouncy at the workshop, it was like a class of Year 9 on a Friday afternoon (only with 990cc's of mischief).

    Was lovely to see you reunited at long last, I felt no ill-will towards you both as you're obviously so well suited to each other. Watching you roar off into the twilight brought a single tear to my eye, it was like one of those documentaries when they release the kiwi back into the wild....
    has developed a love of big fours. WTF!

    Of course, this is all too good to be true and thus must be an April Fools gag!

    You think? I wouldn't do that to myself... I think I'll ride it today instead of the work hack... must try to accelerate slowly away from the line... I'm finding it very hard to learn
