I have a new toy!

[LBD]

Yeah, and the bike is a lass anyway. Amber or Mandy are the winners at the moment.

Gender aside...she is a nice bike...enjoy

[shafty]

NYCE Bike Lady - congrats!

[Ronin]

do people need to keep bringing it up? hahaha this shit is funny! I bet no one has the courage to say anything to my face too

$5 says your so very wrong on this point.

[Ragingrob]

Please tell me you haven't been trying to blow your bike again.

I just dropped something behind the public toilets, honest officer.

[R6_kid:Me]

You should call it Narf - funnily enough his face looks kinda like the front of the ER6n

[idleidolidyll]

You can blow smoke up her arse all you like.

I'm more concerned with the long term outcome.

Have you ever ridden with Thani Katman?

I have ridden many many hours with her and she is a better rider then most of the young people I've seen.
She has graduated from the GN250 which was a good learner bike and has stepped up to a bike with reasonable torque and light weight rather than say an R6 etc: bloody good choice.

The long term outcome is impossible to see for her and also for you. You're the one blowing smoke

[nsrpaul]

ffs katman

I assume you always cruise at 5ks below the speed limit and your riding is beyond reproach

would need to be with a katana, last one I tried had crap brakes

a succesfull trol on this thread, well done on both that and finding a non issue in the statements of others

the definition of toy i believe is an item used in play, so if you like to have a play on ya bike then it is a toy. nice lookin bike by the way

and we'll be needing photos to verify that it is indeed a toy

Treating public roads as somewhere to 'play with toys' (and the resulting carnage) is exactly why we now find ourselves in the shit with ACC.

Seeing as I offered a meeting place and time even... Can I have the $5?

I could play on my playstation in the tv room, or I could play on it in the bath... Just like I can play on my bike in a safe and legal fashion or I can play on it dangerously, it ain't the object it's the user.

[Hopeful Bastard]

Just went into the local motorcycle shop in town here to look at some rear pads to help stop me and there she was... Beautifully sitting there, Steering at me. A bike. Exactly like yours Thani.. Except in blue. I was quite happily admiring it for 5 minutes until i remembered what i went in there for

I think people are getting wrong idea when a bike is referred to as a toy.

My bike is a toy a big boys toy I do not treat it as a toy or take riding as joke
To me a toy for adults is something that you get enjoyment out of admire and love to bits.

It does not mean we treat it like a toy in the sense of not viewing it as a vehicle which could kill us.

Does that make any sense?

My wife classes anything I buy that I don't really need as a toy.

Toy is something you may not need but you want.

you would have been a puritan a few hundred years ago: bikes are more than just transport, they are fun FUN FUN!

the real reason we are in the shit with ACC is because National wants to sell it to the Aussies; there's nothing wrong with ACC and people like you using bullshit arguments incorporating ACC messages and deflecting from the real issues are the real problem.

I'd be willing to lay a bet that you are a case of "do what i say not what i did"

you're arguments are shallow and badly supported, in fact they are largely nothing but scare mongering bollocks

[Katman]

you would have been a puritan a few hundred years ago: bikes are more than just transport, they are fun FUN FUN!

And we all know the all-to-frequent outcome when groups of bikes head off for a bit of Coro GP 'fun'.

You should know better than most. (Cast your mind back).
