    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    Isn't it funny when................

    ...........you're sitting at the lights on a beautiful sunny day, and car drivers stare with jealousy, - you don't look back, but can just 'tell' that they are staring, ---- then you hit the electric screen button and they just about fall outta the car in disbelief as the screen glides up! lol

    I've had the checkout chicks all "nice helmet, does it have a nice bike to go with it?" "....ahh yeah it does...hey your face looks like mince"

    i also note it gets a lot of looks from people passing by, or people in cars at lights, the boy racers usually want to race....

    it's a hard life having a sexy black bike.

    The Guzzi gets quite a bit of attention, a lot of the time is "how big is it?"
    There's quite a few astonished looks when the Mrs jumps off it when she rides it. Don't people know that females can ride Guzzi's too !!

    Nope, thats why I wear my red ninja camos, get to blend in when I'm next to Vodafone billboards, red cars and The Warehouse.

    The two stroker smokers always attract a few bit of attention ...

    It's when I'm riding as Boba Fett that really puts the fox in the chicken coop! Cagers pull up close to see if they are really seeing what they are seeing .. and then drop back very quickly when they see the ammo belt, grenades and rocket pack on me!

    When was the last time you actually saw a biker wearing a high-vis vest? - who wasn't a cop mind...

    High-vis vest = camoflage!

    Yeah, in bogan country you need a harley and tassles if you don't want to draw undue attention...

    If you want ot blend in in Christchurch you need to buy an old primer coloured RX3 with no muffler and a big stereo... and of course make sure to drive neither competently nor sensibly, then you'd draw attention very quickly.

    I dunno what a kettle is - but the way you talk about it brought another attention magnet to mind: the mighty Velo Solex.

    You are going to blend in nicely on a street triple - everyone are getting one these days
