Retail therapy is so good for the soul

This is why i hate motorcycle sales people.

His trusty side kick though did tell me that there is no way to lower the ER6 except to look at replacing the shock with Ohlins stuff

Really so what is this then? http://motowerk.com/ER6loweringkit.aspx

Might not have lowered it enough but he could have at least looked for a kit.

Congrats on your new bike. Nice colour.

No, I still treasure your root, I just have another jacket and pants that fit my fat arse, your root is still my standby

I was not so sure I would like it, in photos it looks flat and insipid, in person it looks

I am happy camper.

Congrats mom nice bike! You'll be leaving every one behind on that!

We’ve never met in real life but you seem like a nice person. I was hoping a good bike would come up for ya soon. Yay it has, congratulations!
Feel good much?!!

Oh, I was also wondering only a couple of days ago where I could find an old time cobbler who could resole my boots… now I know. Choice!

very nice paint job though

You dirt riders are very "special" eh?

It is narrower than my cuurent IL4. If I was younger and oh, I am in the shit for this comment, braver, I would not worry so much. As it is I am my age and not fit, and she fits me.

That was confirming, I did not see it, but Daryl did! Frankly by that time it was a done deal

I used to wear leather, it was all we had apart from Line 7 roots

In recent times I have worn codura, it works for me, dry, warm etc. I want leather but knowing the weather commute I am facing 5/7 , and the fun I hope to have on 2 wheels in the future on weekends I want dry. I have a Codura jacket that does not leak, I replaced it for the want/wank factor

I am about to start a thread to find my jacket a new home.

No, I will still be the pootler, for that is what I am. Speed does not do it for me, though I dont mind fast. In fact fast is very exhilerating in the right place at the right time. I prefer to be mid bunch. I am not into speed for speeds sake.

Convince you to come for a pootle out one of these weekends? Love to stroke myself in tame company, I quite like it in rude company too, but I will bring Maha to cover off that base
