Damn you Pete McDonald - Wgtn Motorcycles!

Here I was minding my own business a few weeks ago visiting my local dealer to look at a pair of boots when I was met by that rogue Pete McDonald...oh sure offer me a coffee and be all nice and smiling like you always are..I know your game mate.

Just because I saw that 2009 Buell 1125r over there looking very sexy in white with the blue wheels and screen doesn't mean I want to test ride it..oh well maybe just a little ride but I am not selling my bike you understand.

MMMMMMMMMMMM nice bike to ride whats that? You can give me a figure on what my bike is worth? What harm is there in that? I mean I would need to have my lady come for a ride as well to check out the pillion comfort....no problems? Ok lets do another ride on Saturday but I am not selling my bike you understand.........

Damn his persuasive ways, his smile, his ability to deal with any questions, why oh why did I go in there? My old bike ended up being rehomed to a top bloke in Rotorua and that sleek sexy white beast was mine!!!!!! Finally got a decent day for a ride on Sunday and we went for a nice ride up to Te Horo for brunch (Oh I forgot to mention I got a pillion touring seat off Ebay - after checking with Wgtn MC as to availability first..they cant get them anymore).

Thanks Pete, this bike is so much fun to ride and is everything you said it was. A pleasure dealing with you as always but no more buying bikers from you ok? This is the last time I fall for it!!!!!!!!!!!

I am surprised you lived long enough to ride it after drinking his coffee!

Met him once,and coffee was good,bought gloves,no bike lol,but almost did.
Another guy with similar outlook is Paul Mac from Action Suzuki in Hawera,both good bike bastards.

Nice bike mate.Enjoy.

**Crasherfromwayback** · 2nd August 2011, 21:08

Thanks for the kind words, you're always a total pleasure to deal with. Glad you've finally had the chance to go for a decent ride.

Go on...show the punters ya sexy new bike!!

Cheers,

Pete

Yeah, they go well. Enjoy

Oh jeez

I hate those bastards in the shops who are like that. Wichard from Botany MC here in D'orkland is like that. He always tosses me keys with the words of "go take it for a test ride, no obligation!"

The more you talk with them, the more they let you talk!

All of a sudden you end up in your scenario!

Not that anything like that happened to me ...

So congrats on your new steed, and as others have said ... piccies!

Yeah, that's the bit that got me too. Maybe WMCC has installed a coffee machine so it's no longer err... 'hand made' by Pete (reminds me of a scene in Black Adder...).

Nope. It's still made with all the love and care in the world by me.

Yummy.
