Anybody just love their bike?

[shafty]

I do not love my bike.
I like it, but I don't love it. I love my cat more.
If I wrote it off I would be regretful but not devastated.
It's a machine, not a person.

Well post a pic of your pussy then

Well i love my bike. I may get a new seet made for it (current one leaves my legs cramped to much) and keep it forever. the 250 that is. The 650 i am nither hear nor there about.

We have a great balance in our house. I love my bike so much want to do 100,000kms on it, just to tick that box.

I was surposed to click over 100,000 on this trip this weekend bit it might be a couple of times round the block when I get home to run it to the mark. It is about 380k to home and I am on 99510 now. Hope it is a fine day tomorrow and we might get lost for a little while

I'm with you both there - I think I'm gonna see the 100,000km on my 14. Only 88,000 to go....

On loving bike: I pretty much loved every one I've ridden - so I guess I just love bikes!

Congrads on your milestone Cowboyz! if it doesn't happen tomorrow, it'll be next week eh?

i love my bike and i would be devestated if i destroyed it. it does everything i want it to do. fantastic 2up. good power that needs to be respected and when you want to get up and go it knows how to do that with style.

I must be emotionally stunted...

It wasnt love at 1st sight for me,but its love now for sure....I wasnt looking for a new one but she sort of fell into my lap & was cheap & she's been giving me my jollies ever since. Before she arrived, I was kinda bored with the old girl, couldnt get it up enough to want to ride her much & when I did I just had to keep thrashin' her to get her to perform & then I always felt unfulfilled afterwards....
Not so now!! I pamper the new one, spend lots on her as she likes to drink,make sure she's always freshly lubed & she likes high quality rubber goods.Myself,well I discovered that I like expensive black leather & we count down the days to when we can meet up with others of the same 'bent' @ Ruapuna & get into some serious flogging

Sunday is the traditional beginning of the new week isn't it?

east cape is a bit more than a quick jolly!!

Ahhhhh, but it is fun. When do we leave?

[Gremlin]

Of course I love my bike...

I loved the last one too, but part of the reason for selling was that I would be devasted if I crashed it, as I had spent too much time and money on her.

[martybabe]

I feel exactly the same about Betty.



Perhaps it's that magic fourteen hundred cubic centimetre displacement figure that's doing it for us?

My sole bother with Betty is the knowledge that by the time she's worn out, Suzuki won't still be making GSX1400s, so I won't be able to replace her with another one.

Yip, I to will be scouring the press for news of the new GSX1600,Please lord.

[martybabe]

I have so many "extra" pairs of boots, bras, knickers, socks, perfume etc etc it's just not funny!!!

and me.

[Pussy]

Any you guys out there loving ya bike?

Yep, I love my sem fiddy I find it more fun than the four GSX-R1000s that came before it.
Annette, what's NOT to love about your 14? Beautiful motorcycle!!

[madbikeboy]

I love my gixer. Love in this context isn't like loving ice cream, it's more like that obsessive sick sort of love. I've ridden new bikes (K3 - 7, CBR1000, Aprillia RSV's etc etc), and I always get on my scoot and breathe a sigh of relief - old friend. She is more expensive than a beautiful bitch mistress to live with. She's rasty and horrid on bad gas.

We may be disfunctional (well, I am), she may be the one who does all the work out on the road - but, somehow it all fits together just right.

Don't even get me started on my CBX1000. It's beyond obsessive and sick...

[HornetBoy]

yea gotta love me katana ,my first fully faired bike , first bike i did 600kms plus in a day on ,and sadly first bike i crashed on

well it certainly tests your love for it when you got to pay thousands of dollars on oem parts but its worth it when you finally get to ride it again !

heres the beast! shes on her second set of fairings but at least it was only plastics.

1st pic : in her original form
3rd pic : re-incarnation of the kat,after her midlife crisis (still in construction)
