So I put another couple of hundred KM on the CB (I've decided CB is Curiously Beige) during the weekend and wasn't really enjoying it too much

Couldn't be bothered trying to seek it's cornering prowess or throwing it down the gears to make it scream....Just pootled along and got bored. Something's wrong there....

Went on the BMW Z3 run on Sunday, met up with a few of the Z owners in Pahiatua and we had a nice spirited convoy down to Masterton, via Tirumea and Alfreton, I enjoyed the top down motoring more than riding the Cbeige. The Z3 was a major disappointment performance wise, the 1.9 is a horrid motor and the GM trans is beige, the early ones really don't handle like my E36 Msport coupe did, nor do they stop as well. But, nonetheless I had a great time, until I realised I had heat stroke....whoopsie!

Rode home on the Cbeige today, was okay. Just cruised along at the speed limit enjoying the sun, I'll give the Cbeige more time to see if it really grows on me.
I took it over the Saddle and the Pahiatua track on way way to/from Bunnythorpe. I still just tootled along, not slow, not any where near fast...
This is not too much of a good thing, I also want an MX5

I could have sworn I had done under 60k when I traded it on the FZ1, so the last owner only did 3000km on it! Why the hell did he bother...?

Suddenly remembered this today, I think it's absolute brilliance.

The Affluence of Incohol

I had eighteen bottles of whiskey and was told by my
wife to empty the contents down the sink or else. I
said I would and proceeded with this unpleasant task.
I withdrew the cork from the first bottle and poured it
down the sink, with the exception of one glass, which I
drank. I then withdrew the cork from the second bottle
and likewise with it, with the exception of one glass, which
I drank. I extracted the cork from the third bottle and
poured the glass down the sink, which I drank. I pulled
the cork from the fourth bottle down the sink and poured the
bottle down the glass, which I drank. I pulled the cork
from the next glass and drank one sink out it and threw the
rest down the bottle, which I drank. I pulled the sink
out the next glass and poured the cork down the bottle.
Then I corked the sink with the glass, bottled the drink
and drank the pour. When I had everything empty, I
steadied the house with one hand, counted the glasses,
corks, bottles, and sinks with the other, which was 29
and as the house came by I counted them again.

Finally, I had all the houses in one bottle, which I
drank. I'm not half as think you drunk I am. I fool
so feelish I don't know who is me and the drunker I stand
here the longer I get. I'm not under the affluence of
incohol as some tinkle peep I am.
