Stop tempting me

Of course you're right, but this damn wrist has been giving me a lot of trouble lately and since I also have to commute every day I don't really want to aggravate it further.

I'll most likely still turn up at the library to say hi

since it's on my way home and to check out the other gixxer

Getting older is crap! Why didn't anyone warn me about this

Truth be told it's just me getting fat and lazy and leaning on my wrists too often instead of using core and knees to support myself. Let this be a lesson to you kiddies, don't get fat and lazy

Or just ride a decent bike?

True that, but opinions of what constitutes 'decent' will of course differ.

Well in that case... use this as a training ride... use those core muscles boy! and I'm not going to be staying late tonight, and don't think Hayden is either, so do a shorter ride... go on, you know you want to! (i'm not a bad influence at ALL!)

I guess the next bike for gale_wolf will have to be a Goldwing?

Put it into self-ride mode and he can kick back and enjoy being old!

**baffa** · 5th September 2011, 13:59

As long as he can take the Goldwing badges off and put Suzi badges on of course.
Goldwings have to be the most pointless bike ever.

Anyways, keen for a ride tonight, especially since the hotgrips are working again =D

Oh really? Depends on your viewpoint. The world would be a boring place if everyone had the same bike.

Imagine riding across a vast country, perhaps you have the missus on the back, too much gear for the bike, so you have a trailer. Saw plenty of Goldwings in the States towing trailers.

While not for me, I can see the appeal of the Goldwing. I mean have you seen how many buttons there are in the cockpit o.O

Also that rear pillion seat looks so comfortable.

Gremlin, what are your impressions of yours now that you've settled down with it a little?

Wheelies pretty good, great through traffic, and super reliable.

I have seen several up close and personal, and I have to agree they look pretty cumfy, and having the vents and radio etc is nice, but it is the size of a small car. So unless you constantly roadtrip, if you want cumfort, music, and airconditioning, I'd take the car.

Good ride last night peeps! Was funny! The reactions of the usual crowd to Gremlin making an appearance, backing into signs, reactions to Youtube vids ... classic!

Good weather, nice roads, great company. Hope hungry stomachs were satisfied by Carl Jr!

Time for a new front tyre now!

**baffa** · 6th September 2011, 10:13

Great ride.

Some clown rocked up and when parking his bike backed it into a sign in front of all the other bikers standing around. Laughs were had by all. Bastards.

Oh well, should be a cheap fix.

On the bright side, the Suzukis were suppressed by the shear number of mighty Hondas, and that's the main thing.
