Suicidal flatmate and the CBR1000 'Fireblade'

[george formby]

I'm subscribed, I feel this thread has a bright future unlike Johnny. Yeah, nah, yeah. His money, his choice. Your conscience is clear but defo get a good ride on it before he gets too carried away or just carried away. Get him to put you in his will for the bike.

If he gets the bike it is wrong on many levels but...... Last time I was in the UK I was told a tale by a mechanic mate at a dealers, some guy came in & paid cash for a new GSXR1000, no licence & allegedly first bike.. He turned up again a week later for new tires, the originals were absolutely trashed & at the time of tale telling he had not dropped the bike in over a year. Go figure, maybe his surname was Hutchinson.

This is turning into one of them NEK MINNIT threads..... lol

Show him the vids from the Squids thread...

Let him buy it and then tell him you should ride with him as pillion to show him what he needs to know about it, then do a wheelie...

Tell Johnny that Hondas are ghey and that he needs a new BMW S1000RR or a Ducati Panagale 1199 to be cool. Then when he drops it, and gets a scratch on the fairings, I'll give him $10,000 for it

[short-circuit]

dude, thy're good bikes to learn on, get over it.

i kninda want him to get the blade, in a way, coz then i can ride it.

Mate, you go from the Hyodung to a blade and you'll be killin yo'self straight after him

John, take it easy now. Do not be cocky. Seriously John... John... JOHN!!!"

hes a big boy, he can ride what ever he wants to ride.

My 1st bike was a 1000cc (ok mid 80's 1000 but still way to fast).

Advise him that its a stupid idea (show him the 100's of youtube vids on this) but at the end of the day its his call.

Try and make him get a video camera on the bike

Nah that can't be it, the hyobag wouldn't fair any better against a CBR250 either

!! it's a decent bike jeez! gimme a break, it looks nice, sounds cool, and goes fast(enough) i dunno what more you can expect from a $3000 bike

[unstuck]

My money is on old johnny WHAPPING it up into one of those big bussy things that you have in the BIG smoke, buy a video camera for sure.

[Sable]

I reckon you're both gimps.

[Tigadee]

i know theres some sexy little 250s out there, im gunna suggest he gets some 2nd hand 250, then mod the balls off it, it'd be cool for him to ride, coz then i have someone to ride with.

If cool is what he wants, tell him to get a cruiser... Preferably black.

see that gives me a glimmer of hope for him, it might just work out fine... i dunno

[Tigadee]

There's a reason why exceptions are that - most human beings will screw up the moment they cease to use logic, common sense, their brains, etc...

[ducatilover]

OMG! he is going to kill himself until he is dead!

At least mate, I know, I did it once!

Oh, and if he does get it, have a few cameras on him at all times when he is learning

Yes!

Come on, you can bite bigger. I've never spent 3 grand for 33hp
Yes it's a good learners bike, I'll admit.

I reckon Johnny should slam some sick as wheelies on that fucker, drag the knee everywhere, he'll be sweet.
People are over rated anyway.

Well, that's one way to cull the herd of the sick and IQ-challenged...
