Lying down on the job...

The crash bung is only slightly scratched - are you sure it needs replacing??

Note to self: more slow-speed manouevring drills in carparks is required, lest I test out the crash bungs on my new pretty.

He reckons he would have been crying, not laughing, had it been the other way around...

Thanks for the tip on picking bikes up ZXRider. Now I just need to find one to practise on....can I borrow Scoot next weekend MBB?

I think Scoot just doesn't like women....

You have my bucket racer stored in your garage at the moment. You could always take some revenge on me....?

I've been outside playing with my son - we were drawing pictures on the concrete with chalk. He likes me to draw bikes. I couldn't figure out how to draw one on its side though....

At least she doesn't crack your bike up.

Okay this is going to take a while:
The look on your face was priceless. Scoot went down on her right side, and I have a brand new right fairing and intake in boxes care of Suzuki San. So, my first reaction was to laugh at your misfortune. I'm mean.

You're going to sue me for mental anguish? Women!

Yes, the crash bung is getting replaced. Scratches are fine on useless yellow Ducati's (since that useless guy seemed happy to regularly lay it on its side), but since Scoot has remained unscathed (mostly) for the 5 years I've had her, she will remain so. And yes, you can borrow Scoot next weekend, but 3/4 Scoot needs a little, ahem, customising (starting with a full Yoshi and PC, race rubber, and some crash bungs...).

I would have been running and crying. I'm afraid of you.

And finally, (I've been chuckling as I write this), you wouldn't have any yellow paint left for your bucket would you? hehahehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahhahaaaaaaa!

Glad to hear alls well that ended, well, rested?

I hate when my bike has a rest 'cos it always costs money....( I think indimacators and clutch/brake levers should be indestructible)

Like I said - better laughing at me than swearing at me!

I'm scarred for life over this.

I will replace the crash bung of course. Mine has them....I've a feeling I might be needing them

You should be afraid. Very afraid. It was green paint, by the way.

Well, I had a nice GSXR750 as collateral, and I wouldn't have been too upset at having a nice shiny 3/4 to start lightening and adding much Yoshi bling. I'm just having a daydream for a moment, carbon wheels, full race ti exhaust with carbon can, self supporting seat unit made from carbon, ISR 6 pots on the front, ISR master, braided hoses, carbon fairings etc etc... If you decide that the Bros is more your cup of Earl Grey, I'd be happy to take yours off your hands...! Is four bikes excessive?

MadBikeBabe has been good preparation for not swearing, I swear that Rosie is actively trying to destroy anything with four wheels - I've learned to just let go...

You're not scarred for life - seeing Carver naked would be life scarring. Poor Scoot, I went and took her some magazines and some flowers while she waits for surgery.

Don't forget the tail tidy!

You'd have the complete set then. Apparently 3 bikes is excessive...maybe I'll sell my bucket racer. Do you know anyone who might wanna buy one?

Tell her to get some liposuction while she's at it.

At least they're not horriby expensive. A side fairing for Scoot is about $2200... Gulp.

Tell yours to get some horsepower...

You'll find it's easier to wheelstand than Katie, and it's more fun when you twist the rotary propulsion modulator on the right bar...

No, I've ridden a few. I like 'em alot. But I have history with the odd 750 in my history of ownership over the years... I've got a k5 600 as well, and there's a K6 600 knocking about here as well. The 750 is nice, but I wish it had the grunt of the thou (which has about twice the torque...). But, the downside of the thou is the torque which makes happy into highside very easily...

I'll end up with a k7 750 eventually - I just need to let MsKaBC try riding Scoot again...

Yeah, I was thinking just like the supermoto, get 15-20 on the clock in first, then crack the throttle hard... would it come up? Would I have to crack it really hard?

I didn't use more than a 1/3 throttle all day. Oh, maybe one burst to half throttle. Scoot will wheelstand off the throttle in third.
